But that’s the thing. If NG+ gave you xp, you wouldn’t be doing the content where you are needed to help others progress it as much since the bulk of MSQ is simply talking to NPCs cutscenes.

If you are doing NG+ you should have already completed the story, and thus already reaped the benefits of progressing the story. You have literally already completed the story part of the story driven game and would only be skipping cutscenes to get xp ASAP.

All it would ultimately do is turn into people working out what the absolute easiest/fastest route to cap is and grinding that over and over much like the coffee biscuits. It would turn into a “oh yeah just do Garlemald quest arc 20 times and that’s all you need to do to hit cap”

The devs need you to do your daily roulettes and raids.
