While I do agree that slow exp should not be implemented in conjunction with receiving experience loss from pvp deaths, I will say that slow leveling has many benefits.
1) low-mid end pvp
2) higher activity in otherwise desolate zones on p99 like gfay
3) deterrent to griefers/trainers (more to be lost resulting from bans etc)
4) sense of accomplishment to reach a particular level instead of the vztz model where you just pack 8 bags full of spells and grind through 1-50 in a day
list goes on and frankly I don't think this is worth discussing since it is already a foregone conclusion at this point.
You might as well argue for an /insta max level server if you are against leveling. Have fun being alone on that server.

I am not in favor of a huge exp boost. Just trying to figure out why things should be slowed down in the pve part of the game, for pvp. Like I said they seem unrelated.
1. low end mid lvl pvp will still happen, but most likely less, the more xp there is to lose. If you were xping for the last 3 hours and some dude 7 lvls above you zones in, or some guy conning red starts attacking you, your more likely to run away then to fight, based on how much you are going to lose.
2. Higher activity in those zones when? When 3 months goes by and everyone has leveled out of gfay it wont help the population, even if the server has -50% xp penalty for everyone. Once people move on they are moved on. Only new characters will replenish those zones or people with incentives to make new characters.
3. You think that someone who spends 240 hours vs 300 hours is less likely to cheat? Cheaters are cheaters, trainers are trainers, no amount of investment by them is going to deter them from breaking those rules. Especially if they dont think they will get caught. Just look at all the level 60s who cheated, how much time do you think went into their characters?
4. Im not saying anyone should grind to 50 in a day. Sense of acomplishment for pve levels gained while not pvping is a pve acomplisment, one you can earn on a pve server.
Getting max level on a pvp server is an acomplishment but more impotantly its all about who you can kill at that level. Eventually everyone gets there, what you do at that level is what counts.
