Hi new player here, I started playing in February, the thing i did to learn about the game was asking players in private to give me advice and watch some videos on Youtub, they told me about the "Do all the dailies" then use elixirs and pet. it's been like a month since i started and i'm level 75. I still leveling up with the normal gear from Auction house cause the sets are expensive for new players. In conclusion: Yes i think its easy to level up you just need to be persistent.
