Why are my only decent options Tormenta Cave (widely scattered mobs, but at least they're level-appropriate), and a handful of Stump pairings at different locations. To me, it's every bit as bad as them not being able to figure out some sort of compelling story-based reason to extend quests, so they just tack on a bunch of time-wasters like schlepping drinks back and forth across a tavern.
Oh yes. The only really bad spot I've found is the Kingshead parade ground. That's THE spot for initial grenade/staff leveling, so of course there's a lot of contention for it. I've had people try to horn in on Padres beach, and in Tormenta as well, but those are not nearly as popular and it's easy to change servers and flee the drama.

I'm hoping that these new islands will have some higher-level areas to play in.
