Not true at all, was a side effect. I think this was only mentioned once, and it was not referred to as 'the main reason'.
I wrote a stupidly long post a couple months back about why the XP was too high. That's pretty much a manifesto on why the XP bonus got cranked down to the scaling bonus.
We pretty much straight up told you what some of those changes were during the stream. Go watch again. I even hinted towards what the final % numbers of the group bonus would be.
This is part of the reason why it's difficult to work with certain parts of this community. Even when we come out and try to give/get feedback, people cherry pick or don't listen at all. Stasis, literally every question you've raged about us not answering was answered in this stream, or has been answered in the past.
To everyone else who listened, but maybe wasn't thrilled with what they heard, thank you. We care about you guys and want to get you the most enjoyment out of the box as we possibly can. We also realize you are hurting, and need halp. We're hoping we get the changes we had outlined as soon as possible. If we don't, as stated during the stream, we'll try to hot-fix something in until that can be completed. Before anyone asks, I don't have a timeline [You must be logged in to view images.

I have faith that there 'is a plan.' But what I DONT have faith in, is that that plan will ever see the light of day.
XP was removed because Rogean heard you all say "XP was too high" so he Ninja Nerfed it. Without waiting to hear about plans to normalize it.
I wouldn't have minded if the 400% (if that was the actual number) was cut in half. But now we do not even have the "scaled" 1 to 50 bonus. (There was a Chanter that made a post about specific numbers getting through lvl 45)
I think even if there was a flat 100% bonus or SOMETHING done, that would be awesome; but there is zero faith that anything is being done before this "master plan."
The numbers don't lie. The pop was "thrivig" at close to 200 with the XP "bonus," but now... its a ghost town. City of Mist was a grouping haven, now, im usually the only one there. When the XP bonus was 'mistakenly' put in that one sunday, CoM was back up to 15 people.
