Default Perma Pre-Searing characters

I started on a perma-pre character about a month ago, and I'm just wondering what all people with perma characters DO with them?

At some point you're just wandering around killing stuff for no EXP and racking up money you have nothing left to spend on.

What do ya'll do?

about 90 % of all pre players just stand around and chat.

I don't exactly have a 'perma' pre character. Mine's staying till lvl 20 when I get LDoA then I'll move her on... So basically I'm just grinding xp, and death levelling.

Some people just leave a character in pre, but don't actually use/play them much.

Having a lvl 20 in pre definitely means you have a lot of time... to get to level 20 for me it may indeed take 3.5 years. It's not just playing and killing. You can only gain XP from enemies that are 5 or less level below you, and at 5 levels difference you're earning MINIMALxp. When you hit 15 basically the only monsters you get XP off are the 4 charr bosses in the northlands; after that it's death levelling, which is ridiculously time consuming...

If you could just stay in pre and keep levelling up everyone would have LDoA, the fact that it takes so much work (or time wasting, however you want to view it) is what makes it such a rare, and special achievement.

Naked dancing by the Ascalon stairs is a popular pastime for perma pres.

Otherwise, contributing to global warming by death-levelling Charr overnight is a common activity.

You could always just go onto the real game, which defeats the point of calling them "permanent" Pre-Searing characters, but at least you have more to do when you actually play the game...

Actually what I sometimes do is a bit of dye and rune farming. I have a toon specifically to transfer items to post (say like Charr Carvings). Dyes and minor runes do drop slightly more often in pre.

Don't need to do LDoA now, already got the title.

I'm an officer in a guild so I find it's a good place to recruit new players, and at the same time work on the LDoA title. I'm at level 13 so far and beginning to wonder if I'll ever get that title though.
