[Souca]

I have been killing mobs from level 1 to level 44 with 26 toons that have all been within like 5 levels of each other. I ALWAYS get the FULL amount of exp on the exp group with no loss causes by the helpers.

No, you assume you are always getting the FULL XP, but you don't have any proof of that. You continue to state speculation as fact and I believe that is the reason so many people are up in arms about your statements. Show us math, show us numbers, but don't just tell us you're right not expect there to be any disagreement.

168k per hour till 60 instance boosting with an 80.

Is that what one character gets when in a group with an 80, or is that what 4 characters EACH get with raf, while in a group with an 80 being instance boosted.

That is the average XP per hour from level 1 to 60 per character on 4 characters with RaF boosted by one 80. The 60 levels were earned in under 20 hours.

Given 5 boosting groups and one booster, you could have 20 characters at level 60 in 100 hours. You can get a RaF group to 60 via questing in under 4 days. Generally you can get from 60 to 70 in about 2 days given the current BC XP nerf. A level 70 is more than sufficient to boost with, especially a pally. If you fid this, you would have 5 70 with your RaF quest group and then could boost 5-6 groups to get the remaining 21.

Your leveling will only get slower as the amount to level goes up faster than the XP earned by killing mobs does.

From http://www.wowwiki.com/XP

The total experience needed to reach level 60 is 3,379,400.
The total experience needed to level from 60 to 70 is 4,722,000.
The total experience needed to level from 70 to 80 is 15,965,800.
The grand total experience needed to level from 1 to 80 is 24,067,200.

Single character XP for a mob the same level is the following:
Level 50: 295 xp (Azeroth)
Level 57: 330 xp (Azeroth)
Level 58: 525 xp (Outlands)
Level 67: 570 xp (Outlands)
Level 68: 920 xp (Northrend)
Level 79: 975 xp (Northrend)

Level 60 xp: 209,800
Level 61 xp: 290,000
Level 70 xp: 717,000
Level 71 xp: 1,523,800

You see a 1.6x increase in mob xp when you go from Azeroth to Outlands, but only a 1.38 increase in XP needed to level from 60 to 61.
You see a 1.6x increase in mob xp when you go from Outlands to Northrend, but there is a 2.12 increase in XP needed to level from 70 to 71.

You will see things speed up some when you get to Outlands, but as you get close to 70 the increase in XP per level will outpace the XP per mob. Once you hit 70, you will see a substantial slowdown in leveling.

There is a good graph of the change in XP to level at: http://www.wowwiki.com/Image:Xp_to_l...al_and_new.png

It will take you about 1.4 times as long to get from 60 to 70 as it did for you to get to 60. It will take you 3.38 times as long to go from 70 to 80 than it did to go from 60 to 70, and 4.7 times as long as it did to get to 60.

Based on XP, level 45 is 41% of the way to level 60. Yes the Xp does scale with level, but I'm just doing some rough math here. Let's say you're 50% of the way, you need to spend another 21 days to get to 60. Even if you are 75% of the way there, you still have another 10 days.

You could get 5 70 in 6 days and then boost another 20 to level 60 in 4 more days. The same amount of time it may take you to get to 60. You could start over completely and you are likely going to be better off. Granted, this assumes you use one of the many great quest guides people have written for boxers and that you watch a few of the videos that people here have provided on boosting.
