Challenge to all the hardcore Pre-Searing people

Tried a pre-vanguard quest.
Gave up after a few minutes.
As they r now, i wont do them again.

The bounty today was a Grawl boss.
It turned out ALL Grawl in the same area are lvl10+
Also, the bounty boss has several spawn locations.

I can't be bothered to vanquish the entire area killing all these other high lvl Grawl to find the boss.
Also, the drops from these lvl10+ Grawl looked they were drops from near-lvl-zero foes.

Sure it may be easier then deathleveling to get XP.
But still.

I believe the only ones who will go for LS with a pre character are those who have nothing left to do in GW.......or are just really bored. Also, as someone else has said, unless the quests give out a decent amount of xp LS is going to take a looooooooooooooooooooong time to do in pre.

can any1 confirm wether vanguard still gives out quests when u reach level 20?

/Seconded, Trying to find this information out myself

Also can you keep getting quest after quest (Stackable?) or do you have to finish one before you can get another?

I can answer this, seeing as I just tried it. Nope you can't stack them. Langmar says that you have to complete the last task before you get a new one.

Seems like you could be farming the spawns from the daily quest, no? Accept quest, kill spawns, abandon quest. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Or is there a mechanism in place to prevent players from doing this?

It's certainly not going to go quickly... but it would be faster than just relying on the quest reward XP alone.

Yup, there's plenty of nutters out there right now, doing that very thing

This is exactly what I was thinking. After reaching the first tier of Survivor, you have 1,196,900 xp left to get without dying. At 1,000xp per day, that's almost 1,200 days to finish.

You can simply kill quest mobs for XP without completing quests at rate slightly better than 1k a day.

Which means you get LS at slightly less than 4 years? I'd kill myself before I made it.

It took me 3 years to get LDoA - its not exactly myself I feel like killing right now!

Sorry for necroing this thread, figured it might be better than making a new topic about same subject.
Survivor(1) is rather easy, but did anyone actually managed rank 2 or 3 yet?

I have seen a survivor R2 or R3 around but I can't remember the names I'm sure if people look and ask around then someone will pop up with the title showing!

Sorry but I don't believe it. And yes I have looked, and yes I have asked around. I have yet to see an r2 or r3 survivor

Vaguely recall seeing a rank 2 awhile back, not seen any rank 3 but I don't spend much time in pre these days.

To my knowledge, I am the first, and only, rank 2 survivor in Pre-Searing with my mesmer Pre Sentiment.

I died several days later at 652,395 xp due to my computer freezing/locking up.

There are probably a few on Presearing.com who have it.

PreSurvivor

I started that thread.

Other than one or two posters on guildwarsguru "claiming" to have seen one, I have yet to see an actual name, screenshot, or anyone in-game as solid proof. The players they were refering to were likely the one(s) using a quest turn-in glitch that awarded xp but didn't complete due to a full inventory.

Borat was the first player to have both titles, its been 5y+ now since he got them.

Until the March 3, 2011 update with the implementation of the Lieutenant Langmar Vanguard quests there was no possible way to reach level 20 without dying without glitches/exploits in Pre-Searing. The best a person could do was level 17 with no deaths.
