I'm hoping this is the case, and that Sam can perhaps find a balanced manner to slowly ramp experience to make later game content released more accessible to the mass (AKA not those few who play 10 hours daily) as he releases it.
Common sense would indicate better server success when the server gets geared toward the average working joe with the few hours a night to play, not the lower junkie population who have 3 years on their hands to get to 56 :P
Presently the server content is ahead of most server players accessibility. Finding that balance between exp., content placement, and accessibility is certainly not an easy task, but definitely not one to just be ignored.
TL: DR in my opinion early leveling could actually do for scaling back/slowing down, higher levels need a bump in the faster direction.

There is alot of solutions to this problem. The main point of this thread is to identify that there is a problem. If the highest level person in the game agrees that the current content, items and skills, will never be reached there is a good chance that this is the case. Now if the highest level person says this you obviously have a large problem for your "average" player base.
The problem
In its current state people will never enjoy the content Sam and the team have already created.
Potential solutions?
-increase exp
-add much higher exp/hour content
-change the level requirements on skills and gear (considering how much work every level is make it so a level 43 skill is level one at 43, 2 at 44 and 3 at level 45 as an example) Every level would have something to look forward too, not just 13 hp and bag weight.
-cap the exp at certain levels, ie. lvl 44-48 is 80 mil per level, 49-54 is 100 mil each etc.
-etc
Any one of these could work or I am sure the team could come up with other solutions as well.
