========= copy/paste from translation thread ==========
Monmon started a thread about where all the surplus exp/points is going when it is being removed in 1.18. In the past the old dev team said in a interview that they 'may' include some type of system where they reward the hardcore players that kept on playing even in surplus/fatigue mode. Rep has responded to that thread so here goes,

There you go, the surplus exp is got sucked into a black hole which we will never see. We fed the black hole and the black hole gained exp/ranks and now it's shooting out a dark cloud that is going to take over the world of Eorzea and going to eat all of us. Damn all of you hardcore players!

==========================

Just think of it as in long term this change will reward you more exp (if you didn't cap all the classes already that is)

Thanks for the info!

Dark Cloud?! So there might be a use for that onion gear after all...
(Hope someone gets the reference...)
