I absolutely agree with you. I’m just mentioning as to how it’s actually a burden to have them equipped vs just leveling outright.
This is how I leveled my druid. Built up loads of rested exp, went out and picked mass amounts of herbs, when rested was up … I parked him again, until I had more. Worked great, especially since he was my 8th or 9th 120 and there was no way in hell I wanted to redo content again.
