That's true. I'm not sure how much it was for others, but for me, the +/- 40 level method let me train 3x faster than I am now.
But still, lnmate trained 24 hours a day pretty much every day. I'm not sure if anyone did that Pre-BB, but there's a reason only 1 person made it to 250 even with this method available.
It's hard to rival lnmate's dedication, and I think that's what some people are forgetting.
Judging by %/hour and amount of hours training I think it's a pretty fair comparison.
Sadly I was too noob back then to be very high leveled so I can't speak for how fast or slow training was.
Can anyone else weigh in on how fast exp gain was pre-bb, when you were around 19x?

I'm sure we could ask ZeroByDivide; for his %/hour to make a more accurate comparison, too.
The way oJavi worded his post made it seem like this wasn't an achievement, even though he put in an insane amount of hours.

It's an achievement because he was the first, but it was extremely watered down compared to what we originally expected the feat to be. And a lot of people spent majority of their time training, I knew one who managed to figure out or at least ask how to be able to train on her laptop in the shower. Hell I got to 140 back before gobies were out spending 16-18 hours at grims, thats why the controversy of Tiger was so great because they'd cycle between 5 people in different timezones so he could actually train 24/7.

Edit: and oh god, dockzz got to 140 training on f`ucking coolies for crying out loud, man that was ridiculous...
