erm while offline leveling is a valid idea,

why doesnt SE just add more leve's instead of 1, 10, 20, 40 wheres the 30 catagory? why'd it get left out and misex in with the 20's?

but to address the concern of the grind, having JUST logged off the game from my L29 alchemist, the grind is a pain, its slow, boring, serves no REAL reward.

a simple fix to this owuld be to LARGELY increase the xp gain from synths and local leves. double or triple the xp gained and the grind suddenly becomes CONSIDERABLY less painful. that would IMO be the easiest way to fix it. just double or triple the XP gained.

as for crafters being primary, i would have to agree,

it IS the crafters who make the gear you battle peeps are wearing after all. and yes, while battle players gain the mats they would be entirely useless without crafters.

that said i do belive alot of L50 crafters in the game have a stick shoved up thier ass thinking they are gods gift. THAT needs addressing too.
