ok, ok. In that case, let's examine that using numbers.

Lv 15, needs 10k (I've got the actual figures, but for the purposes of this, I'll use fictional.)

Lv 20, needs 20k.

You have a guy on lv 13, who 'gives' 100XP standard.

Example 2

lv 25, needs 40k

lv 30, needs 60k

Guy on lv 21, gives 200XP standard.

Tell me how in the first example, the higher level gets less (tests have shown that) yet in the second example, the higher level gets more. Makes no sense.



Now, I thought about this, and think I can at least explain the problem as I see it now. I remember 2 targets very well- Eirikur, who gave 100XP on average, and Monte, who gave 160 on average. Eirikur was lv 13, monte 16.

Now, that shows a marked increase between those two levels. Move forward a bit to lv 21 players, and you're seeing a 240 average- again, a marked increase. Move forward further to lv 25, and the average is still around 240.

That makes no sense. At all. A lv 25 by that logic should be netting you at least 300. As it is, matt says killing Raf still rarely gets 300- a lv 29 should be getting in the 400's.



Now take this away from numbers, and think realistically. You gain experience from combat, logically, by learning. Now in real combat, if you deck a pathetic no hoper, is that going to teach you anything? Or is having a near death fight with someone close to your ability going to teach you something?

Hitting people 10 levels below is not going to advance you much, hitting people close to you will. So logically, as you advance, XP from lower targets SHOULD be less. Am I the only one that sees it THAT way?
