Request for a steeper exp curve on levels

[Krausus]

although I'm not the OP, I do have to say - None of that really matters or even counts as mid-game content if people ignore it and shoot straight up to 50.

then those people have a goal in mind, stop trying to force them to play with you, they have more then likely already played through this game pre 1.19. No reason to force them into that again so they can get Sentinel or blindside or what ever skill they want to sub onto their main.

Maybe finding like minded individuals is the solution here instead of trying to force others to how you or the OP feels, based on the votes so far seem you're in the minority anyways.
