Guild Wars 2

A few weeks ago I leveled a necro mostly via craft leveling, no problems.

Today I went to level a different character through craft leveling 1-400 Jeweler yeilded a whopping 2 levels.

I looked all through the patch notes and I can’t find anything. Am I missing something? If so, please link.

Thank you : )

Same for me… except I made it through three crafts to 400 before I noticed the experience nerf. (6 total levels)

My guess is either:
1) Due to their new player vision, they nerfed crafting leveling for new players so that a new player couldn’t level to 40 or so right out of the gate. And the new system has “bugged” (according to them) to affect all players rather than new players.
2) They intentionally nerfed crafting leveling for all players in an attempt to increase the number of lower level players in the world – again to increase the leveling experience for new players leveling in the world. (I.e. more players to group with running around.)

In any case, very disappointing. I guess EoTM is how I’ll level now.

On a side note, it appears to me like open world leveling has been DRASTICLY sped up.

I cleared about 1/3 of Bloodtide Coast with my son on Saturday and leveled from 66 to 71 (about 2 hours). We did hit Taladia when she started during our clearing, but beyond that it was all Hearts, PoIs, WPs, Vistas and gathering. I had a Birthday booster on, but certainly don’t recall churning out that many levels so quickly before the patch. My son didn’t have a booster on and still leveled 65 to 68.

I could just be imagining it, however.
