XP issue

Noob != Newb

Big difference.

The newbs are the innocent new guys. The noobs are the people who game the system to get high level/rating.

What Ratburn said.

I'm still not sure how me and Ratburn are probably each in the top 10 oldest playing ACTIVE members, yet neither of us above level 30 in rating. Shows you just long it used to take to level up, eh?

Well, it changes stuff that from November 18th, 2011 to August 7th, 2012 I mostly played as a guest rather than on my account.

And I took those 2 long breaks..

Well, about exp...

Before: You need 10 carrots and you get 1 per game.
"XP is imbalanced! Big maps are not rewarding enough!" etc.

After "XP change": You need 10 carrots yet you get 5-30 per game.
"We gain to much exp! Long games and large maps reward waay to much!"

After "XP balance": You need 10 carrots and you get 5 per game.
"We level up to fast!"

Present day: You need 50 carrots and you get 5 per game.

5/50 == 1/10

What the hell? What was the point of the change if all we got in the end was the exactly the same system with values X times higher? *sigh* Could I get any explanation please? Maybe I'm missing something.

New xp formula is more fair to the winners and long games (at least it should be). And as a side bonus... it is proven fact that people prefer higher rewards even if they need more of them to gain same effect. In other words, big numbers look good and people like them (but this was in no way behind the change, I just realized this and I thought I would share )

Not sure. We're probably the top 2 to be honest.

I've been playing two weeks after the game started.Only decided on forum last november.

Only way to find out would be if Lopdo told us.
