Then there's only me finding 1 person who bothers to explain whatever I -could- try, but to no avail as the shit audit I pack turns me into a cardboard mage who dies before she can really ever get a clue what's going on...
Then there's the impossible bashing as one making the journey to Tekal not worth it, the credits I'll have to spend in other trees to even be able to fight some classes, the non-existing tracking or idea how to code myself..

Try doing that with my 4 sec balance on staffcasts.. It makes the difference to dancing around death as some mobs just always manage to hit me twice before I can move again. With our frail healthpool, thats a game you can only keep up for a small time before you find yourself dying.
Someone get me a spot on the volunteer squad that designs bashing areas, and assign me the task of a bashing area for level 85 and above, I'll friggin make somewhere better than that. I'm tired of my choices being a pure quest spot, or a spot that I don't even like for multiple reasons aside from the bull-crap enemies in it. >.>
and this is me going on a frustrating rant about leveling up in an area I feel is stupid, and I don't like for several reasons, a few of those reasons probably not making much sense to anyone but me, but still..
All these areas are places that you can hunt that typically aren't a hotspot for quests. You might be abit hard pressed for Tiyen/Xaanhal, but these areas should help you get to 100. It'll take take, but they will help you get there.
I'm aware, but most people aren't going to be aware, plus, aren't those places typically going to be cleared out anyways, simply on the basis of everyone being aware of them, and hunting them because they're bashing hotspots? You both basically listed the same places.
Also: Iernian Fracture is costing me XP in spite of a ylem aura? WTF? Is this a bug? Or just an IG rule not applying?
@Xandren I totally feel your pain.. I've been stuck on and around level 90 for a very long time, simply because the only areas that I coud hunt in that were somewhat worth it, were Mor and Lich Garden. I still can't hunt at all, unless I'm packed with white/red/yellow amulet and red orb, need a blessing to crank up my max hp and even then I need extreme care and a spot of good luck to earn some exp (Only in fen, drakuum and ayhesa).
This problem is actually really troubling for a lot of people I meet around the level of 80, where many of, for example, a young Ascendril is forced to spend 45k gold for amulets and even then is still mostly reliant on a blessing/arties to keep up some hunting. If you pick the wrong class in the game, best say goodbye to your PvE experience..

@Lleminara: Im not sure what level Tainhelm is, but when I was bashing to 100, I most definitely killed the dwarves in there. As for the whole protectorate thing.... as far as I'm aware, nobody cares if you bash it except for maybe a few heavy RPers. Realistically speaking, you can hunt there when you please, because the likelihood of anyone doing anything is very slim.
Also, both of you should be using yellow orbs. They give you a 5% xp buff.
1-80 was no problem, it was a fun and easy experience, but once I hit that cap i notice a lot of difficulties for a few classes i've got to that point (Didnt think lumi was hard as I could just follo areas of my lvl as I progressed). Its deterring people from continuing to play Pve/Asc is what i can ensure you, and can expect it will be the same for some other classes. Yes, moxie, when i for example played a Tera, life was good. I was lvl 60, hunting up lvl 80-90 areas with a 16k meatshield to take aggro.. Not complaining about PvE here and I think neither is Xandren - just the fact how some classes need big investment, willpower etc. to score some reliable xp to get to the needed lvl 99/100
Edit: I do see how that can be bad in an IRE game that relies on guilds/rp for a mage/ascendril to be so defense heavy. It is something that would need to be looked at.

And yes, Lumi was slow but solid and you could score reliable bashing in the class. To assure you, I often have to wait 30-45 seconds after a sibgle kill to ensure I have my reflections back up.
PvP might be so, but not a single one of my younger Ascendril can rely on Lessers for xp: being a high-prio, we die the moment the artifacters come barging in. I have not died first/second in a lesser in the first 2 rounds since half a year (lvl 85ish), making these events just useless. No opposition is no xp, opposition is death before the xp-kills occur
Not complaining/whining/etc. here but relying on others to provide hunting has been a bad xp. A few people advised me to go Normal, get 2x exp enhancements and then left me alone/left the game. This has left me with a bad statpack/audit even more, the pain to bother with xping are becoming quite big as they are shared on a weekly basis by others of my guild/scios who contact me.
EDIT: Its also hard to educate new blood on PvP if Im clueless of how we effectively keep up a fight (finding myself die to lower lvl templar autobash makes me even more confused). Then the amount of coding, automation and tracking one has to ubderstand to even bother joining the scene. Add that we basically need crown + wise for the eq, endgame curing etc. and it just adds to what troubles me a lot. I can totally relate to the Ascs. leaving for other classes/guilds or beginning over.
