While we're somewhat on the topic, allow me to shamelessly plug an idea in my own self-interest:

Get rid of class xp penalties. It's not classic, but there seems to be a reasonable amount of people who would agree both that the server, while resembling classic as much as anything, is not exactly classic, and that all things classic are not necessarily good and/or fun. I mean, we could at least get rid of the penalty affecting group xp, so I don't get turned down by groups of faggy min-maxers.

I got super jelly the other day when this necro told me he gets 5-7% per kill on a yellow (prob exaggerated a bit but still), knowing that I get 1 or 2%, and it takes like 6 minutes and a shitload of arrows. It's not as though the majority of people aren't still gonna roll insert_ezmodeclass_here anyway.
The past few days I've been in some fun and productive groups, but despite my incredibly nerdy amount of playtime, I'm getting outleveled and I'm gonna be back to lame-ass soloing soon I fear.

I won't make any argument about this change helping the server blossom into a big red flower, nor will I repeat here obvious arguments that have probably already been made in these forums, the same ones that led to the change on live. But if we're seriously considering boosting xp rates in any way shape or form, this should also be included in the conversation.

*Author's Note* I know I'm a fucking masochist for playing a ranger, and an idiot, but 40% penalty or not I wanna do the shit.
