According to ColinJohanson, the reason that elite and utility skills were pushed back was because “- There are some things happening at the wrong levels. Things like utility skills and elites are intended to come at approx. the same time they used to in actual game time, we sped up leveling for levels 1-15 and had them slide back in levels a bit to offset that pacing, they are not currently where we want them to be in the level up system. This was an oversight, and will absolutely be fixed.”

But, if speeding up leveling just means sliding back the things that you want to level for so you get them at the same time as you would have previously then the whole idea of speeding it up in the first place seems slightly pointless. So, why do so at all?

Almost all the mmorpg do that.

They make the first few level faster…

probably something to do with human psychology.

As a veteran who use lvl20 scroll to bypass early level. This patch is more annoying than helpful. Since the first 20 level I skip anyway. And I won’t have my utility until later.
