request for Exp reduce

[Nikita]

I think SE should make an in game player poll, and those who are OK with exp as it is now will see no change, and those who want it reduced can have their own exp cut, maybe give the exp they would have earned to the people that want it?

That seems fair for all sides!

I'd rather grind in different, more unique areas, have fun with random groups of people, then do ifrit all f***ing day and get nothing for drops or do stronghold key grinds..

also as I've said in 3 other posts this SP is ridiculous, anyone who thinks it's gotten better after 1.19 is ignorant to facts. -Points to natalan-

Telling SE to change the XP rates (for everyone) because of something you feel personally due to an apparent love of grindfests and being able to play 4 hours per day every day, and expressing a dislike of a game balanced such that people with limited play time can experience most available content, is in fact speaking for everyone while stating an opinion.

If OP had said "What do people think about leveling rates, for me, I have this much playtime and as a result think that leveling rates are excessive", then they would not have been open to the accusation of putting words into the playerbase's mouth. If there were even something remotely approaching a consensus that people actually /want/ an awful Korean-MMO grindfest, I'd have to reluctantly admit that the OP was not putting words into the playerbase's mouth. As it is, it's the only accurate representation of the OP's statement, and I find it distinctly unpleasant.

SE poll the community please so people can stfu -_- so tired of seeing this, if the game is going to continue down this road then please do a poll let us see the results so people who don't like can quit, like myself, if the game stays this way i'm gone.. I like a good grind its fun, especially when the journey is fun.. even in WoW, in guildwars the journey is fun

You want exp overall reduced which means it affects everyone which means you're speaking for everyone in regards everyone supports this as they feel the same.

I like a grind, however most people sadly want to be rushed to the level cap...it's just the sad nature of MMOs these days.

Stating your opinion (with "I") is not speaking for everyone. She is clearly saying that she believes exp is to high (opinion) and that it should be reduced (opinion) and is giving suggestions on what she thinks SE should do (opinion). There is no indication of her saying "everyone, people, community," learn to read and don't try to change the context of her statements to match your argument because you know you're wrong.

Edit: I also agree that the exp rates are a bit to high. Casual gamers? Screw casual gamers, games are meant for hardcore players (refer to old school games) and make it more time consuming. Yoshida stated himself MMO's are "games that you play for long periods of time" and from my experience grinding is part of that concept.

I dont like where my post is heading, so I ll say this straight out:

This is not about casual vs hardcore or grind fest, I am speak my opinion (my own not this community) that the exp rate atm is to high which leading to a game w/o journey or any taste

And for ppl who say the exp curve is fine atm, I have questions to you:

1. Do you play the game at all ?

2. Do you realize the game you're playing is lacking of journey, fun while process or for you party & grind is fun ?

3. Do you prefer to pay ticket to a theme park where you have to wait 2-3 days to a week before you can enjoy it or you prefer to pay ticket to a theme park where you can enjoy from the very start ?

In before you answer the 3rd question please read this:

I do ask for exp reduce which lead the game the take longer to reach the climax (end game) but I do request more quest into the game. The quest I request are (Class mission) and (Job mission) which are chain quests which open 1 after another which give you good amount of exp but it will not enough to inrease lvl, you will have to party or solo for the left over

note: the reason I write this idea now is because even if I write it at the first post, no one will bother to read it because it ll become wall of text.

How about some civility people. You can do leves and rank up at that speed duo or solo or you can go grind in a party and get insane amounts of EXP. There is two roads and two schools of thought. We can all be happy. I just hope call for reduced exp doesn't come from jealousy. Also, you can identify those that were PL'd cus they won't know their own job. If you can't tell, what's the difference to you if everyone else levels fast and you go at your own pace.

1) I do.

2) Kind of responded to this in another post. SE has to use what little resources they have for 1.x to design for the people who spent the first year of the game doing nothing but leveling. If they weren't working on 2.0 it'd be a different story.

3) Kind of a personal question. I don't really like grinding in any capacity. Real world examples are an odd thing. I'd rather SE focus on keeping those at cap busy while allowing others to catch up. It's the only way to keep everyone happy.
