The W3 didn't bit me at first. It took time and our relationship required work, but in the end we found a way to love each other for 144hrs.

I must be doing something wrong I'm only a level 5 and played all weekend. Do I get exp from killing creatures it doesn't ever show any. And when I do secondary quest it's like 40 exp.

Almost none. You can't go about this game like a normal rpg. You need to do all of the quests to level up.

Also, you need to make sure you hit low level quests before you get to far ahead or you won't get any XP for them.

I bitched about this in my earlier post. Since I like to clear out areas, by the time I got to the other main sections of the game, some of the quests were too low level and I got minimal XP for them.

So what I should do is go to every board and try to get as many quest as possible then just do the low level ones?

Also I'm a level 5 just did the level 9 secondary mission protecting people while they clear the battlefield 40xp.

That doesn't sound right, it was really hard

Clearing out question marks and the actual story missions give you a ton of XP.

Do the bloody baron and witch quests in velen to get some levels, so that everything there doesn't wreck you.

The contracts are where you get rich and exp. about 200 + each. Clearing out question marks will also get you up there as some of them are settlements overrun by monsters and once you clear them out you get 150 exp I think. I cleared all the question marks and contracts within my level that I could before continuing with the bloody baron quest and by time I got to the ladies in the wood quest I was only getting 10 exp for quests. That told me I need to start advancing the main story

I thought I was leveling slow and really thought I was doing something wrong always being so poor. But after awhile you'll start jumping levels quick for bigger quests and money won't be an issue once you find all these relic swords you can sell for 500$ a pop....I completed a main story quest the other day in novigrad and got 800 exp for it...didn't even have to fight just did a lot of talking to people lol

Also upgrading your axii all the way will help. Anytime you have the option to use it in a dialogue and do it gives you 40 exp. but if it's not upgraded it will be blacked out

I'm going through this now. Would I be better off to continue with the main story and secondary quests that are near my current level and then go back and finish these lower level ones to 100% the game?

Not sure how to best optimize leveling.

I guess they did this to try and stop you from over leveling?

It always cracks me up when you're in the middle of a dramatic discussion with an npc and the top dialogue choice is "Let's play Gwent."

Definitely did it to push you to keep doing the story and visiting the other areas. Probably did it to avoid the whole DA:I issue where people just hungout in the hinterlands for 50 hours.
