It's almost impossible to level a new character now. What gives, SE?

What kind of weird logic did you use to come up with 1/5th of the level cap? 10/50 is literally 1/5th, but in terms of XP and time spent (the part that matters) it's probably less than 1% or 1/100th. Don't support your argument with fallacies. It only goes to invalidate your entire argument.

ahhh but with the new exp system of relative base exp, its not so cut an dry anymore. you get more exp the higher your total next level is. So they basically flattened the curve a lot.

its not 1/5th even in those terms, of playtime, but it was kind of ridiculous before, comparing it to ridiculousness, isnt usally a good idea.

What im saying is, if an mmo has a cap of 100, your not going to hit 20 in 1.5 hours, if it has a cap of 75 dont expect level 15 in 1.5 hours, and if its cap is 50, dont expect to get 10 in 1.5 hours (even though ehhh maybe you can)

They basically rebalanced the overall amount of time you are each level, they didnt simply lengthen it.
