Question About Removal Of Party-wide Experience Sharing From Quests

Was it really that bad for someone to help a group with killing Qira then expect a little something out of it for themselves afterward to make it worthwhile? Why would random people help others now (besides friends), besides out of boredom?

 

I kinda agree. The party xp system has been around for a long time, and now that people are actually using it, they remove it.

 

I thought it was fun getting a bunch of people together to kill bosses, now that is dead. And it is sooooo hard to gain xp now. Its frustrating

 

I helped people do hard quests so I could get some xp out of it as well, I only saw it being wrong when someone was in a party afk waiting for turn in. If someone helps others kill the boss and do the quest they should get a share.

 

I liked the shared xp with quests, as now, there is no reason to help people, unless for the reason of getting payed, or because they're your friends. Rarely is the reason of "Being a nice person," comes up. Getting exp in groups like that wasn't that boring either, and felt like you actually progressed, now, you just sit in ice cavern/freezing heights and kill tons of mobs, getting a percent of your lvl every 3 minutes.

 

Nobody is willing to help me out to kill qira now, if they hadnt removed the party xp then I would be done with hive.

 

It's like not even 3 minutes, it's more like 30 mins to get 1 percent of exp for me xD ;n;

 

Ye, I got to kill like 23k mobs in ice cavern to lvl up to 93 ;-;

 

Why did they even remove this...

 

I thought they only removed it from quests. You still get XP from mobs (bosses).

This was a drastic decision from when the developers' XP system broke completely, making leveling up seem easier than taking candy from a child. I agree they could've been more inventive, but they were under pressure at the time.

Think of it as a big heating oven. When there is too much gas and smoke (XP) inside and it's about to explode (because Developers), they need to open up the vent (letting go of certain features).

 

Yea it's unfortunate. Someone told me they'd pay 2le if I killed bob for them (he offered it right away so I didn't ask, and I had to solo him as mage which takes forever...) and before & after I did it he didn't give me anything for it and pretended like he never even said it. RIP my time and wrist

 

But the heating oven wasn't going to explode because everyone was using the xp to level up. They didn't need to remove excess smoke and gas because there wasn't enough to begin with. Now the oven is more like a fridge.

 

The "explosion" was more like "this whole system is going to explode of how badly you constructed it to be".

 

Getting party xp from quests wasn't badly constructed, it helped people level up and encouraged players to help each other with quests. Now no one will help each other because there's nothing in it for them.

 

No, I meant that the experience system Salted set up was poorly constructed. It had flaws, which I don't know the details of, that made levelling easy. Too easy. He wanted a quick way to solve parts of the issue, and removed the party XP for that.
