According to James Ohlen, Game Director: "We're also going to be listening to the community, and seeing what they want to see in the game. We always are listening to the community; you are the people who decide what kind of changes we need to make to the game. Because this game is for you guys."

I support this OPTION 100% People like to hate on others wanting something that they themselves don't value - just odd. Go for it OP.

Regardless of the fact is was still a feature a game had which addresses your question which other MMO had turn off XP. So, next.

Most mainstream MMOs have a turn-off xp feature? Which ones aside from WoW? EDIT: ok got my answers, and WoW implemented it specifically for people who wanted to twink, i.e. for battlegrounds. The side effect was that many people turned xp off for so-called "classic" raiding and level caps. I don't understand how you are "missing out" on content. You may be overleveling some of it, but you certainly aren't missing it.

Some offer it, so it is not unheard of. It would be a toggle so would not affect you. Even better, let us syphon off a % of xp into something like the Alternate Advancement system in EQ - would make a LOT of level 50s and levelling players happy.
