When leveling at Kingshead I usually try to find an empty server first... Then sail from Padres to Kingshead.... If it is empty I level, if not I try another server. If a person pops up and tries to piggy back on my rep, I usually wait a minute or two. Generally most of the lower leveled pirates will end up getting killed, if not I just change servers. I don't mind arguing a bit though lol... but only when instigated lol.
When I level, I try to do it as fast as possible and cut out any time wasting. I can usually get the most rep when I am alone, because most people I run into level by throwing out their strongest attacks and killing enemies quickly... I can get more rep per minute via multiple hits per enemy using weak attacks... By the time I have to deal with a random person quickly killing the enemies, I can be on my boat half way back to Kingshead on another server.
