Working EXP into endgame

[Xairos]

My thoughts were to make the exp count towards the casual side (And the casual-hardcore bridge) of the game in the form of currency towards things like base-level gear (think "weathered"), maybe maybe mounts or minions (but not sure), and absolute put behind some rare drops with a high cost.

Like (just making a guess) have Leviathans Mirror be exp purchasable with the weapons only dropping from the fight. FFXIV isnt so skill value loose that currently a FFXI-style merit system could work. Yoshi said (i believe at E3) that ability-based buffs would be eased into since SE fears that certain options would become standards and then needed to be taken by everyone.

It could just convert to myth.
Problem solved.

2,000 exp = 1 myth.

Something like that.

Even converting EXP to myth's would be great as it would free up players to feel like they could help out their new-player friends by doing Dzamal Darkhold runs (or any dungeon or fight) and the veteran player would get something out of it as well. As the below person noted, it would need to be higher.
