Why the rush?

Took me 11d 2h to the end of VR4, so you're right on target. Take your time, they will need it.

Totally unrelated, but X Marks The Pedwalk

OP enjoy it while you can. If you think its slow now, just wait till you get to VR !
Then things really slow down to the the point where you just want to rage quit

I have a very fond memory of an 24h Cyclops grind in another game just to make one level in one go. I remember still pushing and getting that next level done even faster in a total of 40h. Realizing it was an early Sunday, there were still enough hours left to make an attempt at gaining a third level up. Not only did I try, but made it. The weekend was gone, I hadn't slept, but level cap got 3 levels closer.

I had similar experiences with not so virtual substances, but could handle them with much more care than that. Once, it's awesome (and multiple times after, but y'know eventually it'll *** ya up). But do we really wish to go there again? Can we wish for it being that way again, with a clear conscience very much knowing it'll draw in the innocent.

The junkie within screams YES!

Horizontal progression is what we all need for our well-being, coming to terms with the addiction and it not having any negative impact on our everyday life. Spread, pick and choose, rather than struggling up the ladder in a craze.

Should you happen to have no clue what I was rambling about, turn around, run and don't look back.

Is it just me, or does the leveling of your character really start to slow down once your out of the teens, I have 4 days in game playing time (/played)and im a level 32.

I understand there are people whom make it to veteran in less time that I've played but they don't follow the story. in my opinion Zenimax and Bethesda should make it so that the more time you spend ingame dialogue the more money, and xp you get, tell me what you fellow adventurers think.

People who made it to vet before the game officially released grouped up and did the story line. It is by far the fastest way to level.

I am a casual who used to dip into hardcore and I can tell you that from start to finish this game is extremely fast and easy to level. If you are in a hurry it may seem slow, like watching water boil, but when you look at the facts, having people at end game a few days after release says volumes about how trivial leveling is in ESO.

No. Some of the people who are now Vets did the entire quest line, but those who became vets a day or two after launch farmed mobs.

The fastest way to level up is to farm mobs with one other person. It's kind of fun at first, and then very boring.

I like running with no mods and don't mind missing things. It helps me waste more time as well as once I get near the end of finishing a zone I check my journal and go for the few shards I'm sure I missed. Start looking at empty spots on maps and wondering what stuff is most likely hiding there, etc. Just like the other TES games they love to stick random skeletons with a book or just some neat mobs and stuff around it that sort of tells a little mini story if you take a second to look.

I actually start to get more bored when I try to quest quest qeust quest, point a to b point a to b point a to b. If I just sort of relax and let myself get sidetracked if something is interesting enough to side track me, it takes me longer to complete things but makes it a lot more enjoyable.

I think it is great that the questing experience is so long and well made.

Love to have a game I can keep playing.

VR6 Nightblade, DW/Bow Stamina build.

I think the leveling speed is just right.

I would like much slower leveling.

I leveled faster in this game than any other I've played. I got up into the Vet Ranks in like 2 weeks.

I just spent the past weekend hunting crafting nodes! I chose that over VR7 questing.....

I'm spending a lot of my time farming either herbs or containers now(no, I do not sell motifs. I do not sell anything as of now)...at least those don't suddenly attack me for 1-2k if I don't notice them in time.

That being said, I found leveling to be really fast up til vet o.O Much faster than I liked it, even, I outleveled my armor like...fast. And I don't think there is any real change in leveling speed til vet - roughly 8 levels per zone or so, no matter the zone. Well, plus starting islands if you do those.

And I never grind and always listen to all the story, myself=) And do all the side quests. Yes, even in vet 8 zone.

When i was beta testing and not leveling past 12 or so I thought it did seem slow on a per level basis but as I played on Live and had the groove down to quests, dolmens and world bosses I realized leveling is actually at a decent rate and you can make about a level and a half (maybe a bit less) in like 3 hrs.

I haven't even looked to see how much time I have spent in game. On average I probably don't even spend 10 hours a week. But I have no problem with the speed of leveling in game. In fact I actually think it is a little fast myself.

I am also working towards being a Master Crafter so a great deal of my gaming time is spent managing inventory and trying to increase in level in the crafting trees.

But when I shift gears and focus on questing, It seems like no time at all before I hit a new level. In fact I'm level 41 and still haven't finished Malabar Tor yet. And the highest mobs in that zone are 37. I just make it a point to flip every rock looking for quests, books, and skyshards. Even being this *** I still miss books from each zone.

In fact a number of times I will hit a second level, craft replacement gear, and discover that the old gear I was wearing really was that badly damaged at all. The point being that I outleveled the gear before it truly needed replacing or repair.
