even with the ajustment before RAF, it was better to do Quests than instances. Imagine now with RAF, plus being a multiboxer.
Actually it goes like:
instance boosting > quest boosting > normal questing > normal instances > chatting on /trade

With or without RAF bonus, for the fastest to slowest leveling.
This is completely false, because with RAF you get so much questing exp that you can outlevel entire zones sometimes from only doing the quickest hand-in quests. You never have to put up with slow quests. For example, as people have pointed out, buying cloth and EPL turn-in materials alone can net you 3 or 4 levels on all 5 toons at once. I did every quick kill quest in Hinterlands in about an hour and got the equivalent of 24 quest turn ins for two full levels. Triple quest experience scales in a really overpowered way, seriously.
/sigh
If boosting was faster than questing without triple XP, which it was, care to explain how this is suddenly reversed?

Hinterlands quests are low-mid 40's, I boosted from 40-45 in ZF in 2H 20M /played. And my total /played at L45 was 7H 55M... what is your level and /played from questing?
I replied to this before, but it turned out to be a mess of a response to let me take another stab at it.

The main things that slow down the traditional quester are travel times and slow inefficient quests. Traditionally you had to do 80% of the quests to level out of your target zones. Now you only need to do 25% or so. No more going all around the globe.

Quest exp scales better as well because of all the easy free-exp quests. They used to be a nice little bonus, but not enough to matter. Now, delivering supplies to X town gives you way too much exp for simply walking to a new place. Turns out that you can level to 60 just as quickly because you never have to stop, same reason an instance was good. You're never waiting for a mob spawn or anything. You also get 3x discovery exp. I got 5k experience just from walking across Winterspring to do a simple turn-in. When you add up all the triple exp from freebies I am sure it's faster. My play times were very comparable to yours although I spent time getting flight paths so I'm not 100% sure. At the very least, it's less effort.
