Ok, here's the kicker, by the time YOU are level 49, I WILL ALSO BE LEVEL 49, BUT I WILL HAVE MORE LEGACY EXPERIENCE THAN YOU.
Cool, huh?
You know why?
Because I got ONE char to level 30 when you were levelling 8 chars to level 30, then I levelled 7 chars to level 30, then proceeded to level them evenly, just like you, at the same pace, except I have been gaining legacy experience the whole time.
Hard to wrap your head around right?
Pretty technical.
