Project 1999 - Bring back quest XP for those of us playing at a normal pace.

I don't think nerfing exp did much except spread people around a little bit and make people hand off playing/power leveling characters for a silly brag.

Staff should have let people congregate around GLS island and goblin ears and sashlandia, and the rest of us would have had the same incentive to go out to EK or lake rathe and avoid the players who have to hit 60 on an iksar the week after kunark launches.

Even with scroll exp off gnoll spires is probably still a zoo. And if I had to level a wizard the weak of kunark launch it probably would have been in the back of neriak or somewhere else. Like the back zl of sola.

How much per month per corpse? Free ;)

Thank you. Agreed. Mediocrity is the norm. Excellence isn't.

They'll turn back on quest xp.

Dunning-Kruger effect

That moment when a p99 elf thinks they are achieving excellence.

Don't try your psycho mumbo jumbo with me Mr. (not a) PHD! Don't even go their! Your just an idiot!

My elfing is top 0.1% just like my ranking in humor, grammar, and logic *flex*

Mother told me so, that double confirms it, ha!

I liked your first response better. Almost thought you may have taken an improv class.

Second response sucks.

I've read the study. Rating/feedback is a part of what I do professionally. Not sure if you read it, but the tasks they asked people to rate themselves on were humor, grammar and logic ;)

I see your late 90s psycho mumbo jumbo and I raise you a 2010+ psycho mumbo jumbo ala Marcus Buckingham's "Idiosyncratic Rater Bias"

Quote:

Big term, but it simply means that we human beings are unreliable raters of other human beings. All the data show that when I rate you, over 60% of your rating is about me, and not you. Which is a big problem, because we are paying, promoting, training, and deploying you based on that rating — which doesn’t reflect you. So ratings are a terrible performance measurement tool, because they claim to measure one thing but actually measure another.

Ever had a prof that was a "tough grader?" That's idiosyncratic rater bias.

Your assessment of me mostly comes from something unique about you.

*puts sunglasses back on* In other words, you're probably just jealous of my elfchievements

The best liars always have to deceive themselves first. Marketing or Sales want folks like you. You'll get paid better than anything other than if you own your own thing already.

Also: Congrats emperor elf on your greatness. I'm now convinced. Didn't realize I was merely jealous this whole time.

Thank you. You've been red pilled. You too can have a fan club and ride your bike with no handle bars. Join me.
