[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8730274, member: 22779"] Well, I wonder what the actual rate of advancement people generally have. My Candlekeep Mysteries campaign, which started in May 2021, has been playing pretty steadily weekly (only a couple of missed weeks really) in 3 hour online sessions. We've just tapped 10th level. So, overall, that would be about 60 sessions of play (give or take). So, averaging 6 sessions/level overall, although, the first three levels blew past in a hurry. Thing is, going back to my 3e campaigns, we played in similar time frames - 3 hour sessions, online, 1/week - and advanced at pretty much exactly the same pace - about 6 sessions/level. I polled En World back in 2007 with [URL="https://www.enworld.org/threads/how-fast-do-you-level-in-3-x-read-before-you-vote.192503/"]How fast do you level in 3.x? (read before you vote)[/URL] and most people leveled up after about 3-6 sessions. I wonder if this is just another case of people's experiences not matching up with what WotC is seeing from a higher altitude. If people have been leveling up every 3-5 sessions since 3e, I doubt that it's going to change too much. But, there is this [I]feeling[/I] that it's too fast. [/QUOTE]
