There's definitely something wrong with the current imm exp rationing?

This guy was super influential, well rp'd, and moved game events and the playerbase (I rolled up a character just to try to play a foil against him because the pendulum had swung too far, and had another convert to rager for him, and he swung the cabals around by being more than just a mouthpiece).

Yet he didn't manage to a accrue 1000 imm exp. I've been thinking for a long time that imm exp is unattainable in meaningful amounts and seeing this on this character has kind of reinforced my concerns. I can't remember the last time I broke 200 imm exp, even with characters imms like.
