Why are the 50s so tedious? I noticed at exactly at 51 all the mobs seamed to double their hit points. This does not make the game challenging, it makes it slow. I keep my weapons up to date and often upgraded but that makes little difference against normal mobs. Takes 30+ seconds to kill a single mob or pair.

Val Elenium just sucked for questing, don't worry after that zone it goes back to everything being silly easy and quick to kill.

Impliment the buddy system. It speeds up the process.

Don't know what your talking about, my warrior normally tears through lv 50 mobs Hp b4 the stun from backstab is done. Glyphing/crystals for pve and such helps
