Does Green economy seem odd?

Imagine if they cut the ZEM of a zone down to giving something horrific, like 30% experience. (They haven't cut anything this badly, but there are some nasty cuts overall). Would you consider it rational to level in that zone primarily for experience gain? I wouldn't.

If we bring the number to a more realistic number like 90% normal experience vs 110% normal experience, is it so unusual for everyone to flock to the good stuff and write the 90% off completely as dead to them?

I don't think it's THAT crazy ;D

But our situation is one that's somewhere in between those two.

Right but that’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying that everyone being in the hole for the reason you articulated above doesn’t mean the EQ was bad game design or had limited content. Everyone is in the hole because the ZEM has been set to the level it’s at not because there aren’t other places you could XP
