I want to keep doing them. The problem isn't the leveling per se, it's that I'll eventually have to grind events or just grind the last half of a level to reach the next one. If you treat it like a grind, that's what you'll get. Don't go out there thinking "fuck, I need to level up 3 times..." Just explore, kill enemies you find on the way, pitch in at events you stumble upon, and gather every crafting material node you see. You can look at the map for direction, completing each area 100% gives you a nice chunk of XP/money/loot, and as long as you're not just rushing through ignoring everything else but marking each feature on the map, you'll be leveling up plenty fast. Also, the trading post is VERY useful for getting past crafting bottlenecks. Make sure you're discovering a whole range of recipes, too, as that nets you the most experience (toward leveling the profession).
