Sometimes sells drop 2 bone chips. He might’ve killed only like 100 level 1 skels. Not nearly enough to get to level 4

There are about 14 Repeatable Experience Quests... Has anyone checked any of the other quests to see if the same thing happens?

For all we know, maybe all of these Repeatable Experience Quests have been XP nerfed so people aren't trying to hurry up and powerlevel themselves.

The Janam & Rebby note passing quests were severely nerfed from level 2 on. Not classic. You could gut out 28-34 trips of doing both quests for level 4 on old retail, with Blue giving slightly more, but the exp dropoff was sharp after 4. It looks like a blanket nerf hit everything from what folks are reporting.

It appears most if not all quest experience was nerfed. Shame that no notice was given, because that's a pretty big change.

It's also not classic, so changes for the as-close-to-classic-as-possible server happened, what, within the first hour?

Seriously disappointed in that. Not much point in an 'authentic' experience if that's not what you are going to end up doing.

Except if this was an authentic experience, you wouldn't even know that those quests were that great, since none of us did back then.

People are missing the part where there's a flood of info that didn't exist at launch back then, and all the min/max bullshit hadn't been figured out yet

You're not about to argue that all mob stats, all dungeon levels, all loot locations, all spell effects, etc should be randomized just because we didn't know all that stuff 20 years ago though, are you?

That wouldn't make for a more "authentic experience" because it wouldn't even be the same game that we are here for. Neither do ninja changes to classic mechanics make for a more authentic experience.

~10 years ago? They hide behind the "classic" when it's a nerf, then nerf with non-classic stuff because they can. It sucks, but it is what it is.

Then the white knights come out to defend every last thing with the tired "it's free, stop complaining", "it's their server they can do what they want". They might as well just get on their knees right there.

And, of course they're right; it IS a free server, and you CAN log off, and you AREN'T owed anything, but the mindless bootlicking just gets old.
