Anyone else 5 boxing without RAF or boosting?

Getting to level 10 is killing you?

I am leveling two groups of five (leap frogging each other 10 levels at a time). Its pretty trivial leveling them.

The pvp server thing sort of makes it a bit more boring than I had hoped as there are some quests I would like to do that are great XP. Sort of amusing that I am in Northrend never having been in Outlands besides hellfire to turn for maybe 5 quests right around town and shatt for a moment for crafting trainers.

I finally saw another guildmate for the first time the other day in Northrend (one of the few days outside an instance or Dal). Though they all seem to have 80s escorting them. The last time I used that method the xp hit was awful.

An escort does not have to be grouped, and if it's a pet class they can help kill things with the pet as long as you tag first and you wont lose xp.

Yes, I am aware how the tagging works. They aren't using the 80s escorts for questing.

Right, but they still don't need to be grouped.

I activated my 4 new accounts about 3 days before RAF was announced. Needless to say I was a bit pissed off about that.

I have now leveled 2 teams to 80, and 2 other teams to 73+. Plus a handful of singles.

The last one to 80 was done almost exclusively within dungeons - I really love the LFG with full teams - sure it's not as fast as RAF + boosting, but since I do them all with different class makeups it means I have usually got it all figured out by the time I start in on heroics.

....but since I do them all with different class makeups it means I have usually got it all figured out by the time I start in on heroics.

Exactly, I really think that there is something to be had in that process.

Though people mostly just insanely over gear heroics with their groups and don't really bother with anything other than a single dps rotation really it seems. Especially since they aren't going to do much besides heroic grinds with those characters.

I leveled a team of druids and Palies without RaF. Full BoAs help. Also, at 51 you can start doing AV. And if your side wins 50% or more, it is crazy good exp. On AV weekend i got my palies from 61-68, I did hellfire and Zang quest while I waited for ques.. I never finished Zang Marsh, turned 68 there in an AV run, then headed to Northrend 8)

I haven't leveled a full team of 5 ever, but I have done the following all without RAF:

- Leveled my first core "4" (paladin, priest, mage, shaman) assisted by my 80 warlock "main"
- Leveled my druid boosted by the paladin, ported around by the mage/lock
- Leveled my rogue boosted by the paladin, ported around by the mage/lock
- Currently leveling 3 more shaman, boosted by the paladin (but not ported as on same accounts as mage/lock)

Honestly, if you aren't in a race and enjoy some PvP its not bad. Even without a booster if you can pvp some level's not a chore if you aren't in a huge rush. In WG weekend, I didn't use my paladin for my 3 shaman and just BG'd all weekend. I think I went from 20 to 28 and these weren't marathon sessions.

Just my two coppers.

I've leveled all my toons with out boosting or RaF. Just good old fashion quests. 4 boxer of course but my partner is normally playing a 5th toon with me at the same level the whole time. My priests took me 5 days played time to level to 80? I did some instances when I had quests. I'm working on a set of "never set foot in an instance" toons right now, I think the'll be 80 with 6 days played time on them.

My shamans were 7 days played time to 70 before they changed XP and I didn't have any 70's on the server at the time for help.
