Overleveling

Disagree.

World of Warcraft: Never need to group in that game to reach the end game. People are paying subs. Your statement is false. This is the current SWTOR model. Don't see how you came up with this conclusion.

I believe that most fast levelers such as myself would prefer a way down to slow down our leveling process without hindering you guys that prefer to bypass certain quests and such.

In 1.3, they are adding character perks, one that increases exp gain for players in certain facets of the game. If they offered the same perk just in reverse, 30% exp reduction for certain leveling avenues I think it would greatly help us without slowing you down at all, since the code is already in the game to give 30% gains, I don't see why it would be all that hard to put in 30% reduction.

OK you didn't play WoW. But by being so "absolute" in your statements you are wrong again.

WoW is such an MMORPG.

SWG NGE was such an MMORPG.

MxO was such an MMORPG.

There have been multiple MMORPGs that have been trivial to solo to the end game. Again your statement is false.

Something is bothering me a lot in this game and it is how XP is very easy to obtain. It is not uncommon to see a lot of players 4 or 5 levels above the content they are exploring. It is indeed a good thing that there is a lot of content and alternate ways of leveling, as one can choose to level on flashpoints, space missions, warzones, HEROICs and world/class quests, but in order to keep in line with the content one must restrain himself and skip entire portions of the game. Worst, rested XP being granted everywhere makes you overlevel even faster.

In my opinion, this is not an incentive to PLAY but rather to NOT PLAY. There isn't much challenge at some point and the rewards you get are beneath your necessity.

If you don't like to overlevel like me then all you can do is skip content. Want to try a space mission? one less world quest. Want to try a warzone? two less world quests for you...

Does anybody feel the same? If so, how are you handling with this? Would you like to see a preferences option to turn off rested XP or even tune down the amount of XP you get?

Not true AT ALL.

You get Rested xp in the following areas -

Cantina's
Fleet
Your Space Ship.

If you dont want rested XP, dont log off in one of these areas.

You do realize that many of the quests from Belsavas on up are over-con quests. The level may say 'X' but you routinely run into mobs that are 'X+1'. And the mobs' AI is way smarter AND there are more silver and Gold Elites per quest than prior to Belsava. You pretty much need to be at or over level for these planets.

I have never had a problem being underlevel ( not that this thread is about this but many complain that they are) and I ONLY do Story, Planet story, Planet Bonus as I level. I don't PvP, FPs, etc. I pretty much solo the whole time and I am still 2-3 levels above a planet.

The first time thru to 50 I really needed this. The second, third, fourth, etc. Not so much until I hit belsavas and above. The reason may be that I am more comfortable with the game below that point than I am above. But, I must say that Belsavas was the planet that forced me to L2P and not just button mash (a la WoW leveling).

Something to think about:

1. This game may be too easy for you.

2. You may be THAT good.

3. If this is the case, if you "balance" the game for players like you, it will become unplayable for others.

4. Be happy that you have "mad skillz" and let others have fun too.

Perhaps we just might have the /experience_off command ?

So you can stop getting xp when you want and the other people who don't care being "overlevel" continue business as usual. No harms done and a simple and nice addition to immerssion for those who likes it like that.

Not at all the case. I like to experience the content. But if the content gives much more XP then i need i will easily overlevel. My complain is that it is currently too much. Currently the ONLY way to avoid overleveling is to skip content. I have to restrain myself from doing something that i want to do. I want to help others to do HEROICS. I want to group and take on the world boss. I want to do now and then some PvP and do a flashpoint at least one per character and maybe do it once more to help another player. But if i dont want to overlevel i will probably have to REFUSE grouping or avoid some of the quests.

Now i see some arguments here that this gives you more freedom on how you want to level. True enough. You can choose between A or B, and stay on par with the content level. And still choose A + B, and overlevel the content. I prefer the idea some have sugested here. An option to tune the XP and or tune it would give even more freedom of choice on how you want to play.

Also this rested XP being granted everywhere is annoying. It should be granted only in specific areas, so one would choose not to resort to it. That is how it is supposed to be working, but it is not implemented that way.
