Hey I'm not the one that started the insulting, bitching and trolling
Might want to re-think who the stuck up one is

Also, here's some calculations to how far the XP will go to shits.

Lets say the events are all level 25, for easy calculations.

So he claimed 80% XP in 20 minutes. On a level 24 character.
So if XP didn't scale, that would be 1 - 80, with that being said it would still take 33 hours.
So... even using your ''pro guide'' it would in fact take 33 hours.
Seems like a flawless guide.

Next on, XP does scale.
XP for event = (XP Needed to level up) * 0.07 * ((100-Current level - event level)/100)
Assuming you do this from 20 - 80, your avarage level will be 50.
So you would get 5.25% XP compared to his 7% XP.
So it would actually take about 33% longer to do it. Which would be 44 hours.



Where am I doing any of those? Point them out to me

Not sure what you aren't understanding in the video
It clearly shows 8 bars of XP gained in 20 minutes, on a level 80
An hour is 60 minutes, that's 3x intravels of 20 minutes
3x 8 bars of XP = 24 bars of XP
That's 24 bars of XP in an hour
Since 10 bars of XP are needed for a level, that's 2.4 levels gained per hour (even at level 80 which has the greatest penalty in diminishing return XP)
At 2.4 levels per hour, that means in 10 hours you would gain 24 levels
In 20 hours you would gain 48 levels
In 30 hours you would gain 72 levels
In about 34 hours, you would reach 80th, from level 1 ~ even if you were gaining shit XP the whole way as an 80th level character

But seeing as how people show up to this map around level 24 (and aren't suffering diminishing return XP)
Considering that they already have 24 levels and aren't suffering diminishing return XP, it would then easily take half the time to level to 80th
About 16 hours ~ 2 days of 8 hour grinds


The video already explained all of this
If you haven't watched it yet, you should
There is a reason why big guilds/commanders go this spot to train up new GW2 players for WvW

Oops, didnt see he was 80. Like said I skimmed through the video. Would still be about 25 hours then if you'd calculate in the diminishing return.
It'd be 16.5 hours if the XP didn't get nerf'd. But it does.
