Please stop hurting the population

[mrproudbeard]

It should be pretty telling that the flaming and rhetoric over the topic of the XP nerf is WAY LOWER than your average thread on the red forums. Players across the guild spectrum are speaking up and saying the same thing. This is a bad move, giving reasons why it's a bad move, asking for some thoughts/reasoning behind the change. Meanwhile, staff locking threads with no feedback and telling us the change is non-negotiable. "Trust us" says Deru, who just 2 days ago was getting called out for trolling/being unprofessional/whatever. You can't reasonably expect trust to flow from the players when you stoop to the level of the community and join in the trolling fray. "Working on it" says Sirken, regarding tweaks to compensate for the XP nerfs in some way. No concrete plans just lots of maybes. Patches fall between 6 weeks and 3 months on the server, pretty easy to look at the history of "patch notes" threads to see this trend. There is no remedy coming in the short term guys. Don't hold your breath for it.

Hope this doesn't get me banned, hard to know what's "too critical" now.

I haven't had the means to do what Heartbrand has, this is true. But any small effort made toward helping the population is one worth recognizing and celebrating, and believe me when I say that I did try.



If you don't care so much, why are you still here complaining about it? If amount of time spent exping lends credibility to a poster, then I'd like to say that Kimm and Chewie each deleveled me a few levels. I made 46-51 on Faerie 3 times and didn't throw a hissy fit over it.



Don't sell yourself short, Heartbrand. You have a great amount of influence here, as do we all communally. By blowing up over this we certainly are damaging the population. If the server generally accepted this decision that will not be reversed gracefully and positively, other players would pick up on that. I feel I learned something that expresses this in psychological terms, back in high school psych.



EQ was never supposed to be instant 50 and FPS pvp 24/7.

I didn't realize giving my opinion on a message board was complaining. My bad.

Maybe I was too harsh, sorry. I didn't appreciate that you approached me with an ad hominem attempt to discredit my opinions based on my leveling experiences.

Do I wish there was an exp bonus so I can level more alts? Hell yes.

Do I want the most recent exp bonus removed so all the new players quit? Hell no.
