On Brell Serilis during pre Velious within the Kunark expansion my guild took advantage of my having both a bard and a rock solid internet connection for Kedge grouping for maximum experience. All I had to do was crank the water breathing song in a room for hours while everyone else did the work. As a back up we all had 3+ Mage summoned water stones but out of all the play sessions I think they were only put to use like twice.
The experience was MUCH, MUCH better than grinding in the usual pick-up locations like Dreadlands or the Overthere. The other two key zones that were perma camped were Karnor's (for the loot) and the Hole (had an exp rate similar to kedge). I really don't have anything to contribute to the thread other than "Yes, this is not classic, and yes, it feels intentional."
