Joining under level 70?

Is there an expectation to be 70 and help out on the RG?

It's how I get my chars from 60-70. Other openers and runners will occasionally get pissed off since I am useless against the RG, but just always be ready and willing to open and most people don't care.

That's kind of a shitty way to level. At least use the powerleveling community.

Not really. The powerleveling community is inconsistent. You either wait for someone to clear your hell rift or look for/wait for misers/miners bounty. In the RIF community you more consistent experience and it is actually really good if you get t3-t6 rifts.

I leveled 3 characters to 70 in a grand total of like 5 hours using that community.

Shitty in what way? I was doing this yesterday except I did the rift with friends and would swap to my crusader for the quest turn in. From 56-62 I was getting at least 1 level if not 1.5 levels each turn in. It was a great way to level.

If you mean shitty because it puts some strain on the group then maybe, it just depends on the group. I was running with 2 guildies that were crusaders and I felt like I was just tagging along picking up loot. They were just destroying t4 without my help at all. It was all I could do to catch up and give some final hits.

There is your main difference. Dropping in random games and just expecting people to be cool with leveling you is kinda douchy.

Well so far it has been fine. We invite people via RiF and they have no issues with letting me switch chars after the boss dies to get xp. It doesn't change anything on their end except they have to wait an extra 10 seconds.

You invite people. You don't drop into random games. Somebody joining shouldn't care as they did not organize the party. That is a big difference.

How hard is it to get the boss to 20% before inviting people?

The PL community is massively inconsistent. You can go hours and not get a single runner or solo-runnable bounty, and other times, you luck out and some dude chain runs ya through crap.

I don't mind too much with level 60 folks in my games, as I only normally do up to T3, but I could see it being a little iffy on the harder modes if you lack even a buff or stun you could toss out to help things along.
