I generally prefer* a somewhat logarithmic progression of level rather than linear, meaning that I'd like it to take always a bit longer time to get to the next level, compared to the time it took to reach the current level from the previous. This is something that is actually shown by the XP thresholds to level up (which increase faster than linearly), but is then neutered by the XP awards by encounter level (which also increase), together ending up with a mostly linear level advancement by time.*if you wonder why I prefer that, there are multiple reasons:- is feels more realistic, in the same way as in real life it takes a short time to learn the basics of anything (e.g. learning some chords on a guitar enough for a few songs) and then progressively more and more time for further improvements- it gives the feeling that playing at higher level is actually more demanding than lower level, and thus higher level suits better players- it gives more time to the players to adapt to the higher complexity of higher levels, instead of throwing them onto the next when they still haven't grasped the abilities acquired at the previous</blockquote>
