73814, Are levels of imm.exp too low?
Posted by incognito on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
I'be long been thinking that levels of imm exp have become too low. As players we were reassured that imm exp would increase as the potential for grinding edge points was reduced.

Instead, imm exp appears to be way down too. Looking at Aztezul's pbf just hammers that home, but even my better characters rarely make 200 imm exp these days. Even saying that makes me feel like I'm significantly overstating how much I get. And Aztezul appears to have been decently rp'd and very influential, with that influence being driven largely by his rp.

I'm not proposing we reward people with imm exp for writing about roles rather than actually role playing (role exp seems about right these days). I'm not blaming imms for not giving out more under the current system because when units of imm exp are as low as 50, its pretty much impossible for them to give what characters deserve, simply because of the strain on resource. (That doesn't mean no character gets what they deserve, but it does mean most don't, unless most deserve very little.)

So what am I suggesting?

Larger chunks of imm exp for:
A) snoops of good rp, even if that's from the afk record of tells,
B) rp that shows superior recognition of the roles of other characters. I was pretty impressed when someone rp'd something to me that showed they'd remembered a conversation we had a long time ago about something purely cosmetic in character terms.
C) pk bravery where it is consistent with character goals or role (as opposed to just suicidal playstyle in situations where that make little sense). Also don't confuse wading into big groups as being brave; it very much depends on the build. For example, my Imperial aerial sword spec with calming legacy, parry anything and seven winds edges, required more courage to fight elf-race sword specs with striking legacy, than he did large groups of foes.
