    XP Bug?

    Last night i saw a strange thing after entering Duty Roullete: High Level, and it wasnt the first time. It happened twice before too so now i decide to come here asking for answers...

    I was leveling up my astrologian (actually level 50) and i choose Roullete again, as i do everyday for her, but i got no mob XP... I thought i had entered in a level 60 party, but they were level 50 too and one one them was there for the first time.
    Last night it happened in Amdapor Keep Hard, but i also saw that in Sunken Temple Hard and Wanderer's Palace hard.

    Whats the problem? Why isnt the High Level Rolette giving XP for killing mobs?

    The dungeons in high level are level 50 dungeons so they don't give xp except from daily bonus. Yoshio said this was to prevent efficient xp gain. His words exactly.

    Save High roulette for your 60 for the law tomes, basically. Not worth running it for the small exp bonus.

    So all level 50 DGs will give no XP for killing mobs? So bad to level up to 51 only on fates...

    You can also level up with low level roulette and trial roulette.

    That's a hand-wave explanation. The real reason is they would have to put work into adding XP for all the mobs and bosses in all of the level 50 dungeons that previously had none, and they didn't want to spare the development time. They could've picked a better excuse, as the one they chose is the WORST reason ever conceived.

    Level 50 dungeons don't reward xp because they never rewarded xp. When 50 was the cap, there was no need for them to reward xp, and since the cap was raised nothing has changed. They added new dungeons to grind.

    Admittedly, the new dungeons have all enjoyed mechanics not unlike Coil from what I've heard making them something of an education and likely preparing players for when they decide to run Coil for the story.
