#22971, "RE: Double XP weekend/Waning player base"


          

I set aside some time to think about the decrease in the player base, and ways to draw more people to CF. Has the IMM staff ever considered re-tooling the XP system to reward solo play? I know that in the past XP has been very group oriented, in fact aside from xping solo on an ehren type char, I almost always roam around with 2 others for safety/xp gains. What I propose is the following.

Make the xp gain from killing a mob solo the same as if you had killed it with 3 people in your group.

What this will do:

it will allow the people who want to play, but dislike sitting around waiting for 2 people within group range (who's ideals fit your mold) to group with to xp.

Do I think this will break the group mechanic?

not at all, traveling as a group of 3 will offer the benefit of increased safety and faster kills (so in fact traveling as a group of 3 will still net more xp even though the xp per kill would be the same)

thoughts?

-P
