I was thinking about the exp and my thoughts were:

Make GB a basically non shared exp room, I would have a min fixed nominal figure for example if you lose in a bb you get 5k if you win in a bb you get 10k with anything additional contibuted from your attack (something similar for other class). There is no limit on what can enter like it currently is.

Then I would change skirmish into a GB format but move the limit to lvl99 (allowing at level bb4 and below). This would be shared exp like gb now.

Hopefully the new GB would be good for bb5s, good players and those with high lvl crews, skirmish would be a place to learn and get your shared exp. There would then be WAW as a place for 100+.

See this is the reason nothing ever gets done, pick one dam thing to fix you have to remember this is SDE not some expert gaming company so with that being said remember SDE takes it slow and will take half a year to implement whatever the hell they are gonna fix..

You guys should be asking SDE why it takes forever to fix something i still have not seen that answer... 

theres a section in the forums for this....

Adjusting EXP rates is not one of the Test Team's duties cabal90.



EXP rate at the current time are all 2 to 10 times higher than in 2006.


This causes and influx in unexperianced BB Players (1000 games of experiance vs 150//200).

This making more players who have no clue what they are doing.


This pisses off the experianced players watching people screw up and lose them games.


Thus making them quit.



This then makes new players see less players and less likely to stick to the game.






This is how Shared EXP is destroying the game.


Tick, tock, tick, tock.... 

Grinds taking time are what makes level based games work.


If it takes a week to hit the highest level, and you only need to put 3 hours a day in (21 hours) To hit 120.


Compared to the months of have to actually learn how to play. Where the only way to level up was to figure out how to use the ship you were in.





That is how level based games work. If you level to fast, you destroy the game.



The proper setup for a level based game should be 0 to max in 1 year, @ 2 hours per day with a 50% win/success rate.

The EXP rate around November 07 was the closest to this point we ever achieved...

Now consider players who are sick of grinding but want to finish up an existing crew. Me.

Do you think I enjoy wasting my time in an at level BB3 getting pitiful attack for a low amount of exp?

Oh I can definitely get some more by tryharding it. But I just don't feel like it. I'm only grinding that crew for 2 hours max because of how dull and unsatisfying it is. That is with prem, 30% item, and event bonus.

Is there anything to learn at all from being an at level BB123? Because this is such a huge argument from the pro-exp nerfs. Is there something good in having long reload? Bad spread? Inability to take a hit? Low speed? No.

People don't quit cause other people suck. They quit because of lack of variety. GB being the only thing to play will quickly kill interest in the game. If you want to punish those who actually do know how to play, like me, but is handicapped because of crew level then all I can say is; fuck you.
