I love the irony of PvPers asking for more bluebie grinding.

If you want to savor the journey or whatever then go drown yourself 3-4 times after you ding.

So its ok to level a necro and an alt twinked in 8 days played.

But its not ok to solo level a melee at all, and expect at least 30 days played to "twinked" status.

Thats what the current xp bonus provides.

Its dumb. It makes a lot of people quit who just aren't interested in doing the dumb PvE grind on multiple toons and accounts.

It is as bad as boxing.

Either let people log in at level 51 with legit gear options or make the community thrive.

Or let it die.

Further EQ is an acheivement based game even if you add PvP. PvP is a bonus to this game and never the central focus of it. To try and make it the central focus destroys EQ. Most people here are here to play EQ, with PvP enabled. That means some grinding. Time investment into the community/characters. If you cant understand this then you are part of the problem. You must first "build your character" and gather your resources to pvp here. Even if that means getting a pumice stone by level 15. Its part of the depth to EQ pvp. That games like wow sort of lack, since in wow you just randomly faceroll around in arenas till you get enough points to be competitive.

Its what made my live EQ pvp experience great to some degree, having a tarnished 2hander on my SK and full patchwork armor. Gave me a leg up on my oponents, because I bothered to invest the time grinding it out, and figuring out where the vendors were. It made a difference. And made the game a little more interesting.

If I'm really dieing for pure pvp, I have quake live etc...

Fast exp among other things has really damaged the community and game aspect of the game. Those other things being exploits to level quickly, or just cheap shit like low hp kites etc...

Shit like nerfing mage pets is a bad solution to problems like that.

Server needs xp/pop but its like putting a bandaid on a spike sticking through your leg.

Fixing bugs, advertising the game, promoting the server. A fresh start without all the cheating exploited crap (teams99). May help.
