We've continued to slowly increase the rate of return on nearly
everything over the years, often with continued player request.
Easier levelling? Well, now that means you're levelling faster and
oh look, skills aren't moving up as quickly as levels. We're already
at a point where people are hero'd, and deleting, in under 50 hours.
Honestly, I tend to believe that a good bit of this problem is the
fact that there's no need to invest in a character, since you can
roll a new one, get caballed, hero, etc all so quickly.

I'd honestly be more interested to reduce the overall exp amounts vs
speed up learning rates (which also had been improved for low
intelligences). When everything is trivia, nothing has value anymore.
