Yeah, still can't really describe my feelings on that subject better than: Persiflage wrote on Jul 14^th, 2013 at 8:03pm: Seriously, it's like watching some godawful comedy movie where the guy's cooking dinner and it catches fire, so he throws water over it, which gets into the toaster, which explodes... five minutes later when his wife walks in, he's lying mostly naked on a pile of rubble that used to be the ceiling, covered in marmalade with a broom handle up his nose.� "I've got it all under control, dear!� Dinner in five minutes!" (The oven timer should now ping, for comic effect). I don't know; maybe if you can add enough stupid, the stupid cancels out the stupid somehow, leaving you with less stupid. Or something.

	Bigjunk wrote on Jul 15^th, 2013 at 3:09pm: is it confirmed that this ransack will still be in effect once we're at XP cap? I haven't seen anything either way. I'm only speculating that it would apply at cap.

	The price of augments was unrealistically low. Now it is pretty reasonable.

	F2P - they get 25tp for every 100 faction. Spend that on buying quests. That's still free (of money, but not time)

	I can't believe the ineptitude of not using all zeroes or all 9's placeholder values. It's so silly that it must be a lie. Since they do know enough to use TBD for alpha placeholders, the lie becomes more obvious.

I assume they would choose values that would make testing easier... but then I look at the actual numbers and wonder why they would choose to make it take over 2 weeks to fully test reverse xp decay.

	Yeah, I thought about this later that the values represented actual in-use values and not necessarily description values and came to the same conclusion as you, values somewhere in the neighborhood of what would ever be considered final would be used.

	I believe Vargo once said that the system actually has sanity checks in place to keep "obviously wrong" xp values from being used in the system, so they can't use 1 xp or 9,000,000 xp.

What matter to them is how much money you spend. The ubber-loot will drop so we all buy the pack. Though invalidating all the loot that's come before every update is really getting old. Makes playing the game seem pointless because it's a recreation activity and it is pointless. You don't want to shine too much of a light on that. Regarding the necro DC . . . if they've left saves as is or even worse . . . raised them over EE GH the pursuit of said item is worthless.

It was loads of fun to run around aggroing mobs and dying, spotting traps with mah face and dying, aggroing party cleric and dying...Very solid build and -10%XP to every quest completion.
