I am fairly certain that there is a bug with the xp rate. It will need some testing but all of these reports aren't just unsubstantiated whining, regular xp from killing mobs is slower than it should be.

I don't give a shit if a couple of people took advantages of a few tricks to get to 50 in a week with no sleep while shitting in socks. The average player can't function can't function in this environment. I couldn't even get to 4 without saying fuck it when I tested it out.

Are you sure you weren't just fighting mobs 33% of your level? The first few levels are unique because a dark blue mob doesn't necessarily give you 1-2% like it normally would, because some dark blue mobs are 1/2, 1/3, or 1/4 of your level.

I mean, even with a 40% exp penalty I find dark blue mobs are giving quite a bit of exp (like I said, 1-2% of a level). I played a dark elf SK on Live and if anything I remember solo exp being slower than that. If there is a bug with the exp rate it really can't be that huge since solo exp is still relatively fast.

You're playing the class that can legitimately level the fastest, Bard. Without AE kiting you would be a bit more sympathetic.

That said with solid pop, the grind is doable (read: fun).

You'd think so but I've noticed that's not the case, it seems to be pretty standard to camp people, I've been on the receiving end a number of times from people I've never even heard of who seemingly have hours of time to devote to camping people they don't know. I am not alone. I myself don't care too much, I actually kinda lol that someone takes this game srs enough to enjoy camping people, I'll keep on coming back, unfortunately, many of my friends don't feel the same way.

On a side note there really should be some sort of 30 second immunity to PVP buff after a death where you can't cast/attack or be attacked/hit.
