Do you have any evidence to support this?

That people quit post 52 because they burn out (whether because of Nihilum cockblock or Nihilum pixel farm)? Yes. You stated as much in your post! Clearly getting people to these levels faster is not the solution. If they arrived at the top end more slowly, forming more connections and rivalries along the way, there would be more motivation to stick around even in the face of a toxic high end scene (see blue).

This is a snowball effect that resonates and gathers momentum as it goes along.

I'm not trying to be contrarian or combative with you, I just don't understand how this helps the server instead of hurting people who still want to play here. The exp rate (currently) as I understand it now is very helpful to people who solo.

Except it's not a reduction, it's still a bonus. A reduction would be less XP per mob than you get on blue. Is it a reduction from what we have now? Yes, because right now you're getting almost 400% xp per mob for most of your levels.

And I understand you're not being combative, no worries.
