now that i completely agree with. i think leveling is much too fast and will hurt the game in the long run. i believe leveling from 1-cap should have an enjoyable journey there.

i took it as more of a slap against people that played the game hard to be the first to do something in your op. i apologize for mistaking the intention because i agree with the speed being too fast part.

@viritess i took his statement as saying he had it too fast on purpose, but didn't realize he has set it so fast that the majority of the people went away from feeling like the normal mmo players felt. i don't think he intended to get such a high percentage to believe it's just right because the norm for a mmo is the opposite. i don't even know if he realizes just how fast leveling in this game is atm because he added too many ways to increase sp and it's already been seen how well his Q&A team does at finding issues and bringing it to their attention..
