Where does everyone level these days?

Your best bet, if you want to hunt in cool places, is to build your own group. Make friends from 1 to 30 and then bring them to those places.

I've seen people LFG in SolA, LGuk, even The Hole. You can break the mold. You just have to want it bad enough.

As for me, I usually do UGuk>SolA>OT>DL/CoM with some variations thrown in based on class, time, etc. I generally avoid Unrest, Mistmoore, and KC like the plague. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This for sure. People stay on the pug route because nobody wants to lfg for too long, but if you byog you can go almost anywhere. Blackburrow, SolA, Dalnir, Kaesora, Kedge, The Hole - these are all dungeons that are off the beaten path and amazing xp (well, Blackburrow is only good if you can turn in those fangs, so either get a druid to help you or be a good/neutral race).

If you join a leveling guild you can frequently get together a group in guild for this kind of thing, or at least the nucleus of one. Learn the zones, give everyone a taste of success, and people will be lining up to join you for future runs.

If you really want to just go solo and lfg, being patient enough sometimes gets results. I found on my journey up that the tank scarcity will let random groups form around you sometimes, even in really out of the way places like Permafrost. I think that depends on your class more than anything though.

I tried doing this when I first started playing. I noticed you would level with this group then 1 person would get busy for a couple days, another would get a couple days off and level with randoms. By the time everyone logged on you would have one guy in his teens, another in his twenties, couple that play together always in the thirties, and the one guy who grinded to 50. Or people would just quit.

Yeah, unless you guys try hard to stay with each other, that's how it will work out. I actually got a group of people I had just met on the server to stay with me for a long time, but around 40 we all tapered off. (I made a new static later with RL buddies and that has worked out more consistently.)

Leveling guilds are more reliable for this. You'll have a wider pool of people to draw from.
