If pvp exp was increased, what % and why?

[Billbike]

Lot of the naysayers act like exp will be dramatically increased.

I think that 25-50% boost will bring the "time to 50" on red down to where it is on the blue server. At the moment, exp rates don't take in to account PVP.

This will do only good things for red. A certain obiese troll knows this, and that is why he is constantly trolling and trying to organize all the ignorant and or inexperienced players to his cause.

Roughly 3 of every 4 red players agree.

Would it be possible to get a GM or guide to post on this topic? Will there actually be an increase in exp ? if so when is it planned to be put in if at all? thank you.

Everyone is ignoring the fact that no new players will play unless its as a solo class.

So a dramatic increase in Xp will just push everyone to 50 with limited content, Classically unbalanced PvP and on a darker note... Drastically increased xp will bring along a higher temptation to cheat since you could reroll easier if you get banned. With the recent rash of exploits we don't need to encourage folks and the slower xp means more risk since there is a greater chance to catch / "rat out" the exploiters.

The emphasis on drastic xp bonus for PvP's sake is misguided. EQ is a PvE game, we have the benefit of spicing things up with PvP but reducing the game time spent in PvE is just asking for trouble since 90% of the game is PvE and the other 10% relies on a classically mediocre PvP ruleset.

Sadly, If you need a fast, no grind, focused PvP fix then try another game that offers conveniences like Easy Fast travel, Battlegrounds and other WoWish crap.

Play EQ the way it was designed, group with friends, check out the old zone and dungeons, have fun leveling and mix in some PvP when you can. Playing against the design will just leave you disappointed and crying on the forums.

you crybabies wouldnt play if they made you 50 and you had legit gear. so really it should remain the same and play out to then end whether its next month next year or whatever. Not much happening after Dec 2012 anyhow.

People in here arguing over nickle-and-dime exp changes when the underlying problems regarding grouping are swept under the carpet.

We're not going to have a legitimate PvP server without teams. Ever.

A group xp bonus (for full groups, not enchanter/cleric duos......) would do the most good imo. (if the devs decide we MUST have some sort of xp bonus, which im against).

Without an entire server of people on team evil aside from a few trolls on team good.

THUMBS UP.

This. Turn on pvp + xp loss on the blue server and roll my character there. Let's see what kind of complaints can be generated about xp.
