I've got 10 level 20 PvE chars (one for each class), 1 PvE that I've just started for LDoA, and 1 PVP slot. My char in pre is only lvl 11 right now, but I had a level 17 Warrior there (Sir Myk, all dyed black with max weapons and high runes). I deleted him when they fixed enemies chasing you forever, so it made death leveling extremely difficult.
Since then, however, I have discovered an exploit that will allow death leveling in pre-Searing to be just as easy as it was back in the day (and no, I don't mean with a Moas, I mean with a screen full of Charr).
I'll make a detailed guide for this exploit and perhaps a video of how to accomplish it (at least screenshots) and get it posted soon. Hopefully that will earn me a Premium
Also, @eberly54345 -- Don't oversimplify GW. Competitive PvP (or PvE for that matter) is not as simple as it seems. There's a lot of skill involved in knowing the meta-game, and basing your build off of an educated guess of what you may be going up against. It's like a fast paced game of chess with an added dimension.
