Thus why Kunark was an awful expansion. Leveling took too long and there isn't enough interesting dungeon content to keep you entertained. Furthermore grouping in classic is a horrible idea if you have any option to solo. Getting at most a 20% bonus for a full group is so pitiful.

They eventually fixed this around PoP so that a full group is getting 160% bonus and splitting it 5 ways. Rather than the Velious 20% bonus.

If you aren't getting at least 20% an hr ur doin it wrong. 30% is a good bar.

EXP potions and RAF accounts are cheating.

Players on Phinigel use the Live combat system which involves huge bonuses. IIRC Naudee was talking about 'how their alt Rogues only did 200 dps to Tunare vs their main Rogues doing 250'. Compare vs P99 where a BIS Rogue will do maybe 75-80. Then remember that that those bosses have 'Mitigation of the Mighty' which reduces damage, but the normal dungeon trash does not, and you'll start to see how people can get 10 AA per hour in a normal group and clear Vex Thal in 2.5 hours.

No RAF accounts. How is a cheap ass 25% potion cheating?

When they introduced micro transactions they promised they would never sell items with power.

Here we are years later and all the people rushing to beat content are burning EXP potions. It's dumb.

Calling it cheating was done tongue in cheek though. I just think they're both dumb things to have done from a development standpoint.

Heres the thing though, Troll's xp pots are what allow all the rest of you to play for free there (^。~)v

[maskedmelonpai]

That not a knock on troll either. It just the thing about micro transactions is they need to be useful or transferrable to afford long term profitability.
