In an attempt to be more constructive… (regarding the recent patch)

[Aaron]

1.) Do you think the 50% exp nerf for pet classes was put into place to deal with AFK leveling or to try and encourage grouping?
Seems obvious they did it for AFK levelers.

2.) Do you think the 50% exp nerf will do away with AFK leveling?
No. It's still exploitable.

3.) Do you think that taking away pet faction will do away with AFK leveling?
Yes.

4.) So you support AFK leveling?
No

5.) Do you think exp is gained faster (pre-nerf) in a full group of 6 or while soloing?
Exp is always faster in a full group.

6.) If you answered “full group”, do you still think that an exp nerf to solo classes is warranted?
I could go either way. I'm againt afk leveling.

7.) Do you think that playing a solo class should be a viable option in this game? Especially to those who only have a limited play schedule?
Classes are still soloable with this nerf.

8.) Do you think a 50% exp nerf to pet classes existed in 1999?
No.

9.) Do you think that somebody that plays 1-2 hours a day soloing can keep up with those who are playing in groups 5-6 hours a day or more?
No. Do you think someone that solos for 3 hours a day can keep up with someone that groups for 2 hours a day? This question is a bit of a strawman.

10.) How many hours a day do you play on average?
On average, 3 hours per day. Some days more, some days none at all.

My apologies, I should edit it.

Thank you all for answering these questions so far. I should have done this to begin with.

Also, thanks to the devs for being so quick to respond to this concern and at least looking into it, regardless of what the outcome is.

You keep saying that, and I have no doubt that it was at some point. But I've yet to see anyone prove one way or the other when it was like this.
