It's a pvp game. It's always been an issue in this game.. Back in the official, you'd just tp your new character and someone from guild would power level u to 40 in a day. Or farm skaven veterans for hours alone.. Recommending people to grind on mobs and farm PVE gear in a massive pvp game just indicates the game has an poor XP/rr reward system in the first place. You SHOULD be leveling faster through PVP in a PVP game, if the game wants to be so special about its pvp. Too bad almost none of the MMO's get it.Scottx125 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 05, 2020 2:20 pm If you RvR or SC from 16-40 as your primary leveling method, expect it to take WEEKS. If you want to get from 16-40 fast, grind PVE mobs. Not fun but it'll get you there in a few days. Pick up your ruin set and then start PVPing. Sure you'll lack RR but it'll level up quickly.
You shouldn't be able to level faster through PVE in a PVP game. I've no idea why there's not a huge increase in both XP and renown at least till 40, it would make things way more smooth, especially since there is no t2-t3 RvR, you get stomped in T4 as low lvl newbie (despite stat boost, gear leap is big)
edit.
As someone who wants to play up to 20 hours a week max, i wont grind mobs because it's boring, i won't always find a group to do perfect scenarios, and i won't stay this weekend all day. What i will do is RvR, and since this was always the best, most promoted part of this game, giving it the least amount of XP was always a big "?" for me. Huge majority of the spiked players will probably be more or less casual like me, who just want to have fun with PvP and maybe mix things up later.
