Grind, grind, grind even more! - nerf!

and i say you are greatly underestimating the time it took you.

No, I understand what it means when the big ball of fire comes up on one side of my house and then falls into the ocean on the other side of my house. It takes it about 12 hours to happen  So, maybe 12, at most. If you don't believe that it means that I averaged between 3.5x and 4x for 10-12 hours, that's your own issue. The fact of the matter remains that you can level from 1 to 30 in a single day. 30 to 31 is even easier because you have a fully leveled toon running around mowing down relative peasants, so yes, it is very easy to get x5 and keep it for 10 maps in a row.

And like I said, you have theory. I got out and did it. You should make a post about how housefly's defy physics and can't really fly

I too am quite casual and I think people are overestimating the time it takes to get to 31.  At 1st gen at 2 hours per day I am at 6.7 million exp and I've been level 30 for about 2-3 weeks now, I would be very surprised if I don't hit 31 next week.  I have noticed it only takes about 2 hours to reach half a million exp with solid playing.  I'd like to think I'm rarely on the losing team because I contribute (but probably because autobalance moves me into the same team as the good players, hehe) but anyway I find it really helps if you stop thinking about the grind.  Every time I get curious and wonder if I made any progress yet I haven't even come close to a quarter of a million.  I don't know about you, but seeing that makes me frustrated and when I'm frustrated I make silly mistakes and when I'm not contributing, that probably contributes to my team losing.

At level 30 you should be competitive so just play your game and in 2 hours you will probably have made some sort of progress.
