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.

I trained my BM to 200 at skeles pre-BB, duoing with a bishop and having a bunch of other mules in there with us (ring mule, haste, hb, etc.). At around 195 and after, with CS 2x and continuous 2x family buffs, I was averaging ~5% EXP every 4-hour session.
