How many of us have already levelled a 60 (and beyond) on live, probably several times over. I get how the slow xp builds a healthy low level population etc. etc. But look at it logically, when we talk about "classic" exp we are talking about the slow, painfully slow exp that Verant put in place because we were all paying a monthly fee. What better way to keep a player base in their game paying a subscription than to draw out the levelling process.
I've experienced classic EQ and its exp rate, and I was also in highschool and didn't have a full time job / family so I could log 8 hrs a day. These days I'm lucky to get 3 hrs in each night and 4 or 5 on weekends. Most of our population I'm willing to bet has already seen the classic experience that EQ provided. If you've seen it once you've seen it a dozen times, why not speed it up when there isn't business quotas to meet?
