GW2 Levels and Leveling
Leveling Too Slow? - Enigmius Talks Guild Wars 2 (beta)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g36woC3LJ8Y lists 10 ways to level and how to chain dynamic events
1)Dungeons (can do approx level 30)
2)Grinding (kill streaks increase exp gain)
3)Exploration (unlocking PoI & way points, jumping puzzles, skill point challenges)
4)Personal Story Events (can do every 3 or so levels)
5)Gathering (one node can equal 2-3 the exp of killing a mob)
6)Crafting* (you can level to 80 solely by crafting getting all 8 disciplines to 400)
7)WvW
Achievements (daily, weekly, monthly)
9)Renown Hearts (directs players to areas within a zone to level)
10)Dynamic Events
