Level 11 is where they fix the early deviation from the "10,000 x current level = XP to reach next level" they did at level 1 and level 2.  Technically, it should be 10k to reach level 2, for example, but they only make you earn 5k.  Likewise, you should need 20k of additional xp to get to level 3 (30k total) but they only make you earn 15k to go from 2 to 3. (20k total XP earned).  That means that you are 10k behind.  From there, it is correct. on the formula from level 3 through level 9. Then, at level 10, they add that 10k back in.  It should only take you 100,000 xp to level from 10 to 11, but they make you go 110,000.  From level 11-heroic cap they maintain the correct ratio.

1st Life XP has been that way forever.

Not so bad for those of us who still have ML 8 weapons

You can make up that difference with Von3 almost entirely.  Most people have dropped Von3 from their TR farming because they want to save it for Epic levels.  If the new change to reset the counters after x days happens, you can farm it to your heart's content again.

Die.

My computer at the time couldn't handle running the shroud without constant stop and go motion, so I didn't run that quest for the first six months or so it was out.

Although I did have a "bowbarian" running around for a while with crit rage 1 and 2 with only 10 barb levels.  That was pretty entertaining at the time.

That actually is a pretty good thought.

Flattening the XP curve doesn't solve the underlying problem.  Fixing level 17-20 quests to net better XP is what's needed. 

Again, the devs don't play their own game.  We go from 15k first time completion XP at level 18 to 45k first time completion at level 20 in epic content.

Like LVL 8 Gianthold... Fun Time.... Farming the hell out of PoP ( before they nerfed the XPs twice ).

Mine were in my TR bank when I deleted tala and devorien.  I thought I would get them back when I paid for the undelete feature because it was within the first couple hours it was available and not TR bank recovery was not posted yet. After my characters were brought back and no TR banks I was pissed. I rechecked the thing and it showed the newly added sentence. I tried complaining about it, that I paid for a service that they changed after it was paid for, but it didn't get anywhere.

I am still pissed about it.

Turbine seems to really focus on making sure that players have enough irritating grind to make us want to pay to skip that irritation.  I think that they'd do a lot better by making the game more fun in general by reducing the irritation instead of just allowing us to buy our way out of it.

tbh a rebalancing of XP sounds like a great idea to me.  I look on with hope

This is not true.  In fact, the fastest experience per minute comes at the high levels.  This is just going to slow people down, which is probably one of their goals.

Nobody has to hit slayers.  There is a TON of high-level experience, and again, it is some of the fastest experience per minute in the game.

You have been hitting the bong too much.
