Frankly easy exp-mode made we wanna exp less. I used to love exp pts but now I have jobs I'd like to lvl but the thought of book burning with 17 in lvl 1 event gear, 8 of which are afk leeching or keying for hrs, followed by weeks of the manditory seal/+2/empy grinding is unappealing. Yes its TONS easier and faster than going from 1-75 before but for some reason that just made it all the harder to get the initiative to do.
