reason is that as soon as you hit level 12 quest exp becomes extremely slow up to level 50. and if you decide to do a bit of fishing then Active levelling becomes even more of a chore. its not even fun. burning works in ms1 because there are dedicated grinding areas. this game does not have mob grinding because low spawn rate and low mob exp. instead since the game encourages questing and dungeon runs, how about you just get goodies every 10 levels and then at lvl 60 you get what the current burning event gives you at that level. if that makes sense. atm gaining extra levels just doesnt work in this game. also reaching level 60 is ezpz without burning. these are my thoughts and opinions at least.

World bosses, exploration goals, chest hunting, gathering/crafting all worked out to be a nice way to level up in the end.
Or just have quest/mob difficulty scale like in ESO.
burning event is the best. trophy hunting got me leveled up real nicely.
I can understand the whole confusion of the burning event, from a completely new MS2 players perspective. They'd probably think that the story line has to be completed. So in general, would find it slower.
Veterans however, know that's not the case. There's plenty of other ways to gain exp.
