Yeah I wasn't personally saying it's "unfair", just noticing a difference between my two characters i'm levelling.

there's not really anything wrong with the quest xp, 2% is really low actually considering what other quests give in this game,

yet again the problem is the HERIOC XP

heroic xp is the problem, however one could just load up on LSD and slog thru the quests and hope to forget the whole mind numbing shit-boring ass-tastic quest grind at 80.

now, you're fucked no matter what you decided to do.

love the STEALTH nature of it. that's SOE at its fucking best.

There is DEFINITELY a difference in quest exp. Last night I was at 98.2% on my fury and had a blue and a yellow quest left to turn in. I decided to do the blue quest first, figuring I could get enough exp to ding, because the yellow quest was really far away and I was going to be in that area soon for other quests, so I could wait.

When I turned in the blue quest (which had involved killing mobs and collecting updates, so not just one of your really easy "walk 3 steps to this other guy type of quest) I got a whopping.... 0.4% exp!!! So I had to slog all the way out of my way to turn in the other quest to ding, and even then, I didn't even get a full 2% exp for a yellow quest. I think I logged at 0.2% into lvl.

That is CONSIDERABLY different than the rewards I would get for quests on my main. I am not looking forward to slogging through another 99.8% exp to get to 80 on her, but at least she's an alt and ALWAYS has vitality hehe!

The awesome summary of all of this is that the plat pharmers are struggling like hell to get to 80 and most of them aren't even trying. And that they are sitting ducks in Barren Sky for any of you who like to petition because there are almost NO legit players there anymore.
