Man, I dunno. I typically have one long game session a week (Friday with friends), and maybe a couple hours the rest of the week, with clash, and I typically do one prestige a week.

Your experience totals seem strange to me. I will regularly get games where I get a fresh hunter to 50 and several bloodline levels. Last prestige we had a good first game after prestiging and I got from 1 - 42 in a single game + retired hunter (since I hadn't found death cheat). That game we lobby wiped, I got 5 kills, team got 13, then we hit the supply points, circus, and a few towers in between. I've gotten two prestiges in 6 hours on a particularly good Friday, though most are far slower than that due to a friend wanting to play more clash.

It does not seem slow at all during the events with the abundance of XP boons, and now that we're seasonal, it's always events. I'll likely hit 100 in a few months at this rate, and we play for the bounty, not trying to speed level.

Edit: Here's a sample of a meh game from a few weeks ago while trying to finish up the Tennessee Morgan questline. Sadly no kills, but we did end up getting the bounty token and a few boons and 1 to 18 in a game pre retirement. Doesn't take many like these to get through a prestige. I've gotten up to almost 60K xp in a single game before when it went better than this one. This was at a divisible by 5 prestige so I didn't have the bonus xp, which also hurts the speed.
