    Xp has suffered nerfs over the years and groups are getting harder to find. I just cant multi box I have tried and I just struggle. Hot zones are pretty cold and even the xp you get from killing whatever is bad. Just loosen the rains I just cant seem to get to 120 and dont think its fair to get great xp at low lvls and get sucky xp at higher lvl.

    The developers have stated time and again that they like the current low mob xp rate 111+.

    I think most of us who still like to mob kill, use Overseers for regular xp and just mob kill for AA xp. Even if you just Overseer once a day, you can get a level a month easy (two if you are focused, and even three if you do it twice a day). And work on progression from ToV and ToL for the xp rewards. And there are still plenty of AA to earn via mob kill (even if most are garbage).

    Or just focus on alt play (110 and under). Or quit.

    For the record, I agree that the mob kill reg xp rates are ridiculous and it has caused me to spend far less on game-related things. I'm considering skipping the next expansion and possibly even cancelling my subscriptions for awhile. Talking doesn't seem to work on the issue so the only thing I have left is money.

    i can get 10 to 15 % reg XP easy per day, so a level every 9 days +/- .
    defenitively worth to do.

    Yeah money is king with everything but I feel like the new owner hasnt lived up to anything he said in his video after buying daybreak. That I guess is how corporate America works I mean look at the government lol.

    Again (we hashed this out in another thread a while back), there is nothing wrong with mob kill XP. The issue is that the levels just take SO MUCH XP to fill. You can prove this by setting XP to AAs, and you will see that mobs give plenty of XP.

    One can also notice that around the same time they made the level XP so much tougher, they also added Overseer, which adds a flat percentage of XP when you choose that reward option. So, no matter how much XP a level requires, Overseer will move you through it pretty quickly.

    After many many years of chasing max level, I have been max level for the last three years (since Overseer), and I can just focus on AAs, where I'm still 20,000+ from maxing that out.

    I play a lot less than I used to years ago, and yet, I'm more easily able to stay at max level. This isn't rocket science, just use the tools they give you, and it's very easy.

    And it's available to all. Even F2P accounts can run 3 Overseer missions at a time, as opposed to the 5 at a time for paid accounts.

    If you want free stuff, go punch a cop, you will probably get more free stuff than you want. Businesses need to make a profit or go bankrupt, there have been lots of great places that did not have decent profit plans and are now gone.

    Never said anything about free stuff. Just said the xp curve is really crappy. Just like this new UI roll out , what a show! Lets just do whatever to try and make the game better but totally screw it up and say , Oh it will buff, The player has been forgot about in this game like soooo many others! Like I said cash is king screw us ( the players ),

    Love how things are so easy for other people lol, I am figureing things out and this game is still 2% or less group and 98% box. So they need to make the adjustment period. Dont deffend them they are in the wrong here and by the way overseers lol!
