Fleurs and Krakii on the officials

[Allereli]

You don't seem to understand the hoops the top exp earners jump through in order to maximize their exp gain.

I used to play my XXX like that every week. I know exactly what it means. I have stockpiles of gems, skins and foragables from my Rift days. Doing it 1 week out of 12 to guarantee a similar amount of XP every week until the next contest is not a big deal if you have the time to do it, which obviously she does.

Honestly I was shocked how many people thought the "don't leave town" concept was a revelation.

I assume you have max logic enhancives too? It takes more than time, it also takes a lot of effort and micromanagement to truly maximize. Staying saturated and pulsing on a supernode every minute for 6 hours isn't easy at all and requires a fuckton of silver (and probably Simucoins for bounty waivers, so real money is probably being invested to some degree too) and should be rewarded in a system like this Lumnis contest.

So tell me then, what would be so horrible about giving the top 25 a bonus above the average that reflects the extra exp they earned to set said average? Doing otherwise is just going to result in the average dropping more and more each cycle until the earners say fuck putting in all this work and jump on the takers wagon.

Would you be cool with your salary, which you worked hard to achieve it being whatever it is, being averaged with a bunch of minimum wage scrubs? I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the answer is no.

Who would have guessed XP was such serious business :|

It's the seriousest.

yep, and the bounty waivers can be free from login rewards, and you can get even more free by converting guild waivers.

you're not equating apples to apples. Looking at the top 50 differences in xp I don't think it's a big deal at all. And I don't think so many people will abandon the effort. If anything more will join when they give the Sunday people more of a chance to participate.

The contest has been done once. They said they were not giving rewards to the top 25 at this time but I saw nothing that indicated that couldn't change in the future, after a few more contests. It's an experiment.

BTW I also did a +1 to getting rid of the contest and doing a set xp gain.

We'll find out in March. My money is on the average taking a giant shit.

Believe me when I say that Gelston doesn't miss a single chance to call me a bitch in rep or in any thread. If you want to talk about message board stalking, I nominate Gelston for king.

You're just a victim!

LOL.

[Gelston]

Oh yeah, I was also up in this thread before she was... I'm apparently such a king at stalking I'm in threads before she is.

I'm thinking it'll likely just shart a little.

It's going to be the biggest shart in Elanthian history. And some pretty big sharts have happened over the years.
