So yeah, the increased leveling rate is awesome when leveling an alt in a base class you already have (ie leveling a mercenary when you already have a powertech). You can blaze through the levels at "ludicrous speed" (at least as a subscriber I can).
To illustrate this, I did a test: I started a new level 1 bounty hunter. I deliberately did every available mission on each planet he visited, once (daily/weekly/heroic etc just do them 1x). He hit level 65 while in the early part of Tatooine (intended levels 24-28 I believe?)
At this point, he's still working on Hoth, with a limited number of companions (don't have Blizz yet), but is 65 and already wearing raid gear. Little silly how easy that is
ANYWAYS, I would like to level at least one new alt at the intended pace, so I'm wondering, if there's no way to slow down EXP as a subscriber, would creating a 2nd account as a F2P give the "intended" leveling experience, where you stay on course with each planet's intended level range?
I've been working on some other alts too, and even doing *ONLY CLASS MISSIONS*, no dailies/weeklies/heroics/FPs/warzones/nothing, they end up well ahead of the curve quickly...
