Ding 70

I've always posted when I reached max level, so I'm keeping the tradition alive. My wizard has reached level 70 and gained access to Ice Nova goodness. But I'm a little shocked that it has taken so long, with even known slackers such as Moorgard apparently beating me. So it's time for some excuses:

I reached 66 by the early days of March, which is not too shabby considering KoS launched February 21st. But then it took me until the end of March to ding 69. And then a whole month to get that final level. Why?

I kept up with my static group until around 65, but then they started to outlevel me. And the xp reduction when people are even a level or two ahead of you is fairly noticeable.

I cut my play time on my main from 4-5 days a week to 2-3 due mainly to PvP. So I did level a 36 Troubador on Nagafen in the time it took me to get from 60 to 70.

But probably the biggest reason is that I missed "xp season" within the guild and got stuck at 69 in "raid season." When I log on to my main, it's usually right in time for a raid (so far Trials, Lyceum, Lab or some T6 stuff we never completely cleared before KOS). And when the raid is over it's time for me to call it a night.

But, for all my excuses, it never really bothered me. I still brought the famed Aggro dps and was a contributor on raids. And, most importantly, I had fun.

But now I can make fun of the slackers who haven't reached 70 yet.
