What to do with EXP now..?

[detlef]

XP has always been a way to improve your character outside of gear. Any improvement or expansion should be consistent with this.

So easy mode isn't enough already? We now want something for easy mode? I would much rather the dev spend their resources on fixing all the things that are broken as well as fullfilling all the promises that were made over a year ago. SMN still has 2 Avatars MIA, RDM still completely useless, etc, etc.

If you have trouble wasting xp, easy way is to just lower some merits and then raise them back up if it'll make you feel better that you're not wasting xp.

Yeah, uhh...

SPOILER:

That's still wasting xp

Some things I think it would be nice to spend that wasted exp points on are things like CP, IS, and AN. As well as possibly things to increase how many times you can do certain end game events. For example maybe with 30 merits you can spend an extra two hours in Dynamis, or buy I.D. Tags to do assault and Nyzul more often than currently allowed. Maybe even allow you to buy BCNM orbs.

This way its not a straight conversion of EXP -> currency and other endgame items but a way to earn them more often.

This, along with Rank 15 (and CP gear for 99 cap) and ISNM/ANNM for 99 cap with new materials (Ethereal Squama, etc) and crappy NQ Lv.99 gear augments, not to mention whatever points SoA bring in (assuming it does).

Grinding for reduced timers is a great idea too, far better than just getting a Relic for grinding. Apparently nobody figured that eventually players would get all Relics/etc (certainly the ones they want) and once again have no use for EXP, reducing event timers should always be useful though. The only way that would ever cease being useful is if the developers stop adding new events, in which case "wasting EXP" is the least of your worries.

[Elphy]

maybe just stop joining exp pts if your capped at 99 and merits on everything, that would be the logical solution to this problem.

Except the game throws exp at you for just looking at a mob the wrong way.

But really, 1 merit = daily tally for mystery box gobs. There is actually a very slight chance of getting 100 piece currency there. If we are to believe the goblins themselves.

I support this.

i like OP idea

What to do with EXP now..?

Couple choices:

Don't EXP (the best choice)

Farm IS/CP, you still get this whether you're gaining EXP or not.

Or, keep your merit tank capped, and use them to change your merits around.

Also, some people have maxed everything and maxed all merits but lots of people havent, and lots of people choose not to.

(The extra daily tally points isn't a bad idea though).

Yes but on the long run this thing, just like removing merit caps (Originally Byth's idea which I wholeheartedly supported) doesn't solve the issue, it just delays it.

But why do these people need a reason to exp in the first place? I'd personally be happy I don't have to do it anymore.
