Power levelling

Power levelling or grinding is the term referred to when speaking of a player who is trying to raise their level in a certain skill in as short a time as possible, often without care about what resources they may gain as well as experience.

A good example of this is when a player is training Mining, and drops the ores they mine so they can collect more without completely filling up their inventory. This allows them to raise their level without the need of going to sell it or deposit it in their bank. This saves travelling time, which makes the levelling faster.
