More specifically, it bothers me that the most common situation is people starting with "young characters" (in their 20s-30s) to represent 1st level and then go up 10 levels in the course of a (long, but still single) adventure.It does feel sensible to me that a total beginner learns a lot from the first adventure, so going from 1st to e.g. 5th in a couple of adventure is OK for me, maybe even going from 1st to 2nd just after your first serious fight. But it's the linear progression i.e. getting a new level always after the about same amount of time that gives me some problem... not only because this also is generally fast, so those characters are still 20yo when they reach maximum level, but also because IMHO this has a HUGE effect on how people tend to negatively see the game at high levels as "breaking down", because the game obviously gets more difficult to both play and run properly, and if you level up too fast then neither the players nor the DM have the time to learn.</blockquote>
