So, if you intend to build crafting chars, there are three ways to level up fast: Grinding, grinding and grinding ;)

I don't think that's true, or at least not true for all players. In sheer exp over time comparing the 200 exp per mob with the time it takes to run to town and hand in the quest and get 2500 exp suggests questing wins out.

I think where there's an element of merit to your theory is in terms of concentration. It may be easy for some people to "switch off" and just kill kill kill as almost a meditative pastime. Questing requires more thinking about different things where grinding requires thinking about the same thing

The next point, not relevant to your progress Nobbie, but relevant to some others is that grinding is by far the safer of the two methods on PvP servers if you just pick somewhere quiet and, if disturbed, move

I find that if I really want to power through exp then questing as fast as possible and really concentrating on what I am doing, planning several quests at once, is far more effective. Then again, I've levelled up lots of characters now and I know the Horde quests extremely well
