Agree 100% with everything you said. My group consisted of five people (50,
48, 47, 43 and me at 37). Almost everything we fought in Kaesora was blue
to me (and likely green to the high level folks). In the time I was there
(6 hours), I got a total of 1.5 bubs of EXP. We were also sharing spawns
with 2 other groups as well. So even with a 10 level difference between me
and three others in my group, I got pretty good EXP. Since we were doing a
guild raid, getting EXP wasn't even a concern. But 1.5 bubs was enough for
me to ding into 38 so I was happy:-) Now I just have to get back to
Kelethin somehow to get my new song.

Agree with what you said about Kunark as well. Guess it all goes back to
the risk vs reward issue Abashi posted about recently. Those willing to
risk hunting in Kunark get to reap the rewards. Since April, the only time
I have spent in the older zones was a guild raid in Kedge. Other than that,
all my time has been spent in Kunark. The main benefit this has resulted in
is that I level a lot faster now than I ever did pre-Kunark. I have limited
playtime so as a result it takes me longer to level compared to the average
player. Pre-Kunark it took me usually 2-3 weeks to gain a level. Now it
only takes me 1-2 weeks. Don't know if the primary reason for this is that
mobs give more EXP or the fact that overcrowding in Kunark is non-existant
and you can pull to your hearts desire. Either way doesn't matter to me
because the game is a lot more fun to play now than it was prior to the
expansion.

By and large, most people are afraid to go to kunark due to binding and
traveling issues.

Experience in kunark dungeons is nothing short of amazing. We went to
Kaesora the last 3 nights. In 2 hours camping the Church area, I made 1.5
bubbles in level 44. We got a total 5 ransacker packs, and Xalgoz himself
spawned once, dropping the fang. The library area is awesome for levels
35-40 as everything is still blue. The drops are less frequent there but exp
is still great.

This is also a great dungeon for crawling. You can get most mobs as single
or double pulls. There are many wanderers, but they are easy to isolate and
pick off. There are well spaced areas where you can pause to clear the next
area. And the spawn clock is enough so that you can clear an area and the
next area before respawn.

I would recommend Kaesora for parties levels 35-45. In the time I've spent
there, I've only once, seen someone not in my group in the dungeon.
