Actually, according to the side story, it's not really that hard:
Quote:
In Elder Tales, leveling up was not hard work. At each level range, there were as many good quests to pursue as dishes in an Manchu Han Imperial Feast, so levels would naturally increase. With the pride of Elder Tales’ long history at stake, the disparity between a veteran and a new player was a serious issue. Level differences were an obvious case that prevented players from playing together. With features like the ‘Mentoring System’, level gaps were quickly closed.
The Elder Tales administration established a policy of “aiding new players in leveling”. In other words, bringing a new player up to the maximum - level 90 - was not a difficult task. The average player used to be able to reach level 90 in less than 100 hours of play time. Now, it was said that reaching level 90 would take less than 80 hours.

I imagine that for hardcore gamers, this process would be a lot faster =3. What's hard would be as shown below:

On the other hand, it was very difficult to acquire appropriate level 90 equipment. Maxing class skills and acquiring high-grade materials took a tremendous amount of time. Though Kanami’s equipment was suitable for a level 90 player, to the point where Leonardo wouldn’t call it a disgrace, it bothered him that he couldn’t judge her experience from it.
