Answering an earlier post set me to thinking about my playing style....
I'm thoroughly enjoying plodding along exploring every nook and cranny and doing every quest. I rarely look at my levelling rate. I've started 6 alts experimenting with various race/class/skill combinations and am bringing them all along at roughly the same pace. This has created lots of opportunity for sharing finds and using complementary crafting skills to support each other. It's forcing me to think more deeply about what each character needs before deciding whether I will sell or share loot and crafted goodies. Some are better at earning money than others and they are acting as bankers by buying the others their necessary goodies now and again.
What's the general preference out there....are you mostly tortoises like me or fleet footed bunnies on the levelling grind?
