Yes, we already grind XP, wands, preps, etc.

I cannot believe someone grinds even commerce exp, overall 21000 commerce exp = 1 average edge or something like it?

And _everybody_ would need to grind if old EP system returns because some characters will have twice more edges than some others and for many it's just unacceptable.

What to do when there is nothing to do? It's totally different question. Everybody will spend 20-30 hours on grinding OBS/EXP experience and then will still have nothing to do. But buy-in for hero pk will cost us 20-30 hours more and i don't think it will bring more people than force to leave because of it.

Not to mention that a newbies don't know where and how to grind. Do you really want to give more expeirenced players even more advantage over newbies?

Bringing back old EP system would also diminish the importance of being leadered and tattooed. Right now each of these gives 1 good edge, but if players can get 1 good edge just for visiting seaport of Hamsah for 100000000th time then it would make less people try to rp better to become a leader and/or tattooed.


P.S. Yes, some people need 12 edges, four legacies and barrier spell to compete with some others who don't need any of these. But isn't the better advice for them would be to play better instead of giving them huge advantage for just grinding?
