In a way you did. Specifically if you were trying to keep up with your friends, like you were. This is really the area where MMOs are the weakest. Everyone levels at different paces, but if you speed the leveling process up too much it feels less like an adventure.

Once you hit the higher levels it doesn't matter as much since you can group with max levels, but you still have to put in the hours to get there, which is like ~100.
