So, I'm gonna just go ahead and say this as a person that has been playing since long before the xp machines were added and manufacturing personnel grind and shit.
Our grind for lvl 50 was very long, currently on the server, you can just obtain lvl 15 or whatever in a matter of minutes utilizing the XP machine, then just hop on manufacturing and spam small ammo kit which would take, idk, lets say a few days/nearly a week to reach lvl 50 (correct me if I'm wrong). However, for us, we had to play as D class for a long while, more than an hour or so, just to obtain enough levels to play as a guard. After getting enough levels, which still at this point was from just actually playing on the server, no grinding, we'd hop of civilian and then start off by buying money printers which gave us little XP over the course of a few minutes, and so we'd RP/interact with others on the server then return to our printers to collect our XP, then repeat the cycle.
This process would take a long long while, much longer than just spamming small ammo kits as a manufacturing personnel.
So comparing the levelling up system compared to back in the old version is very different as it has become much easier nowadays for people to level up faster compared to before.
