the risk is the tougher the mob you are fighting the longer you fight it and the more of a chance to die. if you don't reward the risk associated with doing stuff higher level then people will just spam killing r1 marmots if they give the same sp as raptors and you can kill them 10 times as fast.

why would i go and fight in a group of r50+ raptors in a group of r40's if i can go by myself and just run through a set of marmots and spriggans and get better sp? i can 1 shot the marmots, but it takes a few seconds to kill the raptors and they may kill me(if i die i get no sp at all).
