Instead of any flat xp bonus after 50, what is needed is grouping bonus. Give groups a 20 percent xp bonus for each member in the party, i.e. a full group would be getting that 100 percent xp bonus that currently everyone (even solo druids/enchanters) now have.

This is the way to do it, encourage grouping and put the xp bonus where it is needed most, with group dependent classes.

REMOVE all xp bonus from 51+. Put that bonus instead into grouping bonus.

That would serve the server and population way better. Soloers need zero help atm. We need something that encourages them to group.
Nilbog mentioned in IRC that the equation for the XP bonus is changed/reduced once you hit 50. I don't recall what it was exactly, maybe he can enlighten us in this thread.

Levelling during euro hours is about as fun as a trip to hospital. If the XP bonus goes I know the mountain will be too steep for me to continue - would be nice to PvP without all this levelling BS [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

People who can spend 24/7 like a korean kid plowing through to 60 in a week does not reflect your average red99 player.

Because all the solers have zero incentive or need to group with your warrior. When you can't kill a mob, your xp bonus is ZERO. The non-soloers currently have a xp bonus of zero on this server. Fact.

That is why we need to be encourageing grouping with group xp bonus. Not solo flat rate xp bonus.

(p.s.)

Ask the server's level 60 druids and enchanters where the xp bonus is at. They'll tell you [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I can understand why you'd say that.

Current flat rate xp bonus just gives soloers more reason to solo and less reason to group.

I think most melees will soon just fade away after getting tired of LFG and being groupless. A few will make it to 60 to support the raiding game, but the rest? Forget it.

If only our xp bonus was in the form of group bonus, we'd retain so many currently LFG players.

Its a shame.
