When Phase 2 of the Dragonflight Pre-Patch goes live on November 15th, it will come with a
massive
reduction in experience needed to level from 50-60! In addition, lower levels will also see smaller but significant experience reductions needed to level.
The observed leveling speed for 50-60 in Dragonflight PTR isn't so much about finding the best place to level -- it's simply math. Starting at level 50, players will discover that they only need about 1/4 of the previous experience to level that they needed before!
Here are the numbers comparing the old experience requirements to the new ones:

This means that you can easily get your characters from 50 to 60 in under two hours.
The content doesn't matter as much as simple efficiency. Whatever you can do well will work. I did find that concentrating on finishing some of the big-experience quests like the Torghast daily and the big zone quests such as
Bolstering Bastion
yielded well over a level when completed.
Experience levels have also been reduced for lower levels, although not as dramatically.
However, it's definitely worth noting that the level 38 Rogue I checked used to need 71,210 experience to get to 39 and will now need 47,185 -- 66% of what it needed before. So even the lower-level alts will go up faster than ever before.
Although the Winds of Wisdom (50% experience) buff ends tomorrow, this is an even bigger experience bonus without it! Plus, you will still have the 18% experience buff from WoW's
WoW's 18th Anniversary
, which ends the day before Dragonflight's official launch on November 28th. You can also get an extra 10% bonus from War Mode if you want to level even more quickly!
Combine this with the fact that the new Heirloom scaling means you can "set and forget" a good deal of your equipment with the improved iLevel scaling, and you have a ton of features conspiring you to get everyone to 60 in time to explore the Dragon Isles.

Yes most of the game is at end game, but man they really do want to just kill leveling of any joy of experiencing old content at a normal pace.
This game is almost 20 years old.. levelling is not 'joy' for most of us, it's a chore.
EXACTLY! some ppl dont realize this lol
you can enjoy it at max level ,same as leveling
