You say you don't want to be spoon fed but everything you post points to the contrary. Half a level from a kill count is pretty good. Now, if the bradium golem spawn was not increased like the alizas were not increased (until later) then ok i will agree that a spawn increase would be warranted.
Being able to get a whole level with just 2 manuals is pretty good going.
The ti events are perfect for someone that can only maybe play an hour or 2 each day as you get tangible results with each ti. They are supposed to boost your levelling - not completely replace it or else there would not be a cooldown. One thing they can improve on is to let gramps keep warping you after you are done with your count as that is conducive to partying.
And seriously if you are so busy that you can barely play it probably means you have a rather busy private life or professional life and the last thing you should be worrying about is hitting 150 in a game. I suspect alot of 150s in even the top guilds are not job 50 - on many classes it makes zero difference.
Whether you play intensively over a short period or more sparsely over a longer period - the amount of time it takes to 150 is about the same. Getting max level is relatively easy - it is gearing yourself with the top items that will take an infinite amount of time.
Spoon fed would be just asking for levels. I'm asking for a reasonable effort vs reward. Right now, the time you have to put into these quests, they WOULD be reasonable IF they were repeatable more than once a day. Then you could still get a level a day. BUT since they are not repeatable, the level a day should still be achievable through questing. And what quests do we have over the 100 range worth doing? Lets see...Seal quests...Event quests...hm....hmmmmm...hhhmmmmmmmmmmm......Nope. That's pretty much it. I am not looking to be spoon fed, I am looking for a level a day without having to spend the entirety of my time off work, by doing more work in a GAME (I know I'm not the only person in this boat). Games are supposed to be fun. Grinding SUCKS. It is NOT FUN IN THIS GAME. If the quests were repeatable, then a 6 hour grind could turn into 3 hours with quest TI's. THAT is more reasonable.
I'll reiterate. I am wanting one of 3 things:
1. Gramps quest reward experience made worthwhile for the cost of time and manual money.
2. Repeatable Gramps quests multiple times in a day at current exp ratio.
3. Acknowledgement from the GM team that these quests will carry on beyond the end of August. (Every week for at least 8 weeks we will be putting in new quests to enjoy for specific level tiers! If there isn't a hunt for you this week, then next week there may be!)
Being left in the dark sucks and leads to problems GM team. You should figure out the rest of your plans and let us know ASAP.
LOL...... Exp Table right now is on easy mode..... lol........
You are an idiot. This is what you sound like "A monster that gives 11k exp? AWESOME. It's only going to take me 8636 kills to go from 149-150! Sweet! Let's see, if I multiply this, and carry that, then dividesubractadddivide..........It's only going to take approximately 20 hours of complete grinding! Sweet."
Mind you, that is just ONE level at about 5m exp per hour.
