For the pvp crowd, leveling is just a race. First to max level is king of the hill for a while and can grief lower levels and probably has access to better pvp-gear faster. How often have you heard in betas, early-access time or the first week: What's the endgame going to be like? Crazy.
The other fast leveling crowd are of course the raiders, who have to be the first to kill the T1/2 bosses first on their servers. Nothing less will do. All energy is put into leveling and gearing up. However, I've seen a couple of times where the top raiders are actually fully immersed in the game, lore and tradeskills, not just the raid. They just have so much more time on their hands to get there. Some Ambition helps as well.
