XP scaling

[darkendfaith]

Not sure if anyone is aware of this, but the XP scaling is rather bad. I am getting the same XP i get from cutter's cry as I get from say Sohm Al. The only difference is the "boss" in the 51-60 dungeons. In other games, XP scales as you progress, not stay the same.

I get that they dont want people burning through certain content but, it's been weeks now since HW release, and it seems to me they keep lowering the XP of everything. Why?

Another thing, XP from fates dont scale as you level AT ALL. For instance, Northern Thanalan is literally the only place people go to to farm XP now. Why? Because FATE's in HW content give what is it? An average of 14k xp? NT fate's give an average of 21k past level 50, like average of 24k+ before 50. Something is wrong here, HW FATE's tend to last WAY longer, for WAY less XP. Also takes longer to get to them, even with flying.

Just thought of this and wanted to add this, go to Northern Thanalan on ANY server, and there will be literally 1000 people farming FATE's alllllll day long. Or just check PF real quick, bet there's like 1-3 PT's looking for FATE grinders through out the day.

This is going to make people not know they're jobs. So when they actually do content, tanks will think they are DPS, DPS might think they're tanks, and healers might think they're both. FATE's in Northern Thanalan SHOULDNT be the "fastest" way to get XP in the game right now. I would prefer dungeons, so that people would be willing to learn they're respective jobs, instead of getting to 60 and making things hard on the people that at least kind of know they're jobs or know them really well. Done with the rant, but SE really should change the way XP is on the game. It's pretty bad in my honest opinion.

Agreed.

I'm pretty sure many of the people fate grinding in N than are also bots because I've seen them exhibit very bot-like behavior.

And yeah, it's sad that N than fate grinding is basically the fastest way to level, even all the way to 60 it seems...

Chain running dungeons, being the most challenging thing you can actually do at level, should be the most rewarding for exp per hour but it definitely isn't.
