To blankly claim that questing is always better then aoe grinding... seems many others have different opinions:

Mages with RAF do quests. Grinding is for if you're a poor sap with no RAF. As a supplement to questing.
Also, there's this little thing called the Raid XP penalty. You don't grind with a raid, it's several times slower than just doing it with five no matter what method you're employing.
If you'd leveled in series, you would probably have a few different raid teams by now. Raid XP is garbage.
I am never in a raid and never plan to be, as stated raid exp is nothing.
Pull with Pal (Pal grouped with 4 others all RAF). Concecrat with Pal to draw agro and tag mobs. Lay down 25 fire nova totems. All mobs dead and 5 toons get all the exp and group and raf bonus.
I mean as you all say why 25? Well if I am going to level 5 at a time then ya why 25. I play 26 and plan to always use 26. Why? Because I have 20 extra fire nova totems or thunderstorms ... to help the single group I am leveling.
Dont forget I have done my share of aoe:

Trying to reason with you is like trying to convince that homeless guy in front of Taco Bell to stop shooting heroin.Quote:

Ask around. See if you can find anybody who went from 1-80 purely by aoe grinding.
Ya who ever heard of mages that aoe grind:

Just because plenty of mages aoe grind, does not mean it's the best way to level.
but for the amount of money you paid to xfer all the toons, you could have done as suggested earlier, level up in teams of 5, which can kill 90% of EVERYTHING all by themselves. Level each team to 60, then xfer to the various accounts.
Your method of "MORE DPS = BETTER" doesn't really work outside of instances, and you cant bring more than 5 into an instance. Rock and Hard place. I only grind for items or rep. Exp is always best received from quests. Always has been, always will be.
There are a very few spots in the entire game with enough mobs for even a single mage to get a good xp rate, there are 0 spots in the game for 26 characters to get a good xp rate. If you had played this game at even the most basic level you would understand how thick headed you are being. Ignorance is one thing but having a large group of experience players(boxers even) who want to see you succeed giving you the same advice over and over and over again and still ignoring it is as silly as it gets. I wouldn't say doing groups of 5 at a time would be faster but there is absolutely no way grinding can compare to questing, none, zero, zilch, and nada. The funny part is you are watching videos of mages aoe grinding and believing this is some magical way of fast leveling when in actuality they are making about the same xp they would questing and much less then what they would make questing in a group. Most of these mage videos you see are just that, mages making a video to show off their aoe capabilities, you aren't seeing the down time where they drink/bandage and travel to the next spot and then wait for the respawns.Quote:

Even if you were to manage to grind to 80 it would only prove that you are masochistic and you would more then likely require carpal tunnel surgery shortly after you ding.
If you do find someone that grinded to 80 they probably aren't too bright, you still have to go back and do a bunch of questing to unlock dailies and rep quests.Quote:

Just for comparison, I leveled an RaF group of 5 mages using ELBA's wonderful tour guide RaF multi-boxing files ( Horde and Alliance Multi Boxing RAF 1-60 Leveling Guide ).
It got me 5 mages at 58-59 within 3.5 days:
