And a lot of people spent majority of their time training, I knew one who managed to figure out or at least ask how to be able to train on her laptop in the shower. Hell I got to 140 back before gobies were out spending 16-18 hours at grims, thats why the controversy of Tiger was so great because they'd cycle between 5 people in different timezones so he could actually train 24/7.
Edit: and oh god, dockzz got to 140 training on f`ucking coolies for crying out loud, man that was ridiculous...
of course, I'm not saying it was easier or harder now than pre-BB. In fact I'm sure it was much harder pre-BB, especially before ToT came out, and before Leafre came out it was just insane. xD
Hell, it took GMS almost 3 years from when the live server started (May 2005) to when Fangblade hit 200 (March 2008 I believe). That says a lot right there, I'm not trying to say pre-BB was easier.
I guess the point I want to make is that, even with the +/- 40 level method, training is still as slow and boring as it was back in the day, and is worthy of similar praise, in my opinion.
