Overleveling

Doesn't the 1.3 perk adjust exp gains away from quest leveling and increase on another area (e.g. PvP, Space)? If so then until BW puts in an option of limiting exp one could adjust exp to an area that they don't play to slow down their quest leveling. This of course will not slow down people that play all aspects of the game but, it is a work around for those that want a solution to slow their leveling and are primarily quest levelers.

call it hogwash all you want i have a commando who is presently 45 and is just now making it to nar shaddah i really only pvp in this game and sometimes do the class quest when i want another companion to assist with dabbling in crafting. this is very possible, and my preferred way of doing things.

as far as /xp off command that would break 1-49 pvp since it is feasibly possible to then have a crap ton of expertise at lvl 49 given enough comms for gear. if i had unlimited time as a 49 before i hit 50 i could purchase copies of the lvl 48 weapon and remove the mod/enh with expertise in it and add it to all of my other gear. while this would be expensive it wouldnt be all that hard to achieve since i would never have to worry about lvling to 50.

luckily you still have to be level 50 to purchase the battlemaster/warhero gear otherwise this would also be a reason not to implement this feature.

WoW hasn't been a real MMO for years. Yes, you group with people, but due to the stupidity of Blizzard it's nothing more than playing with really, really, stupid bots.

lol, no. It was a character is it's 20's

It would be nice if quests didn't gray out, meaning they would always give the min rewards. There's really no reason to put restrictions on something like that because there's no way to abuse it that I can tell. I realize most MMO's do it but I can't think of any real reason why. Maybe it did means something in some game long ago and it's just adapted as a standard model for future games?

I was finding myself constantly overleveling the content and this was on my first character. I got to where I skipped several whole planets ,except for the class story, because the quests where simply gray.That left me a little irked considering it was my first time around but I couldn't make myself run all the side quests for nothing. Felt like I might have missed out on some SW immersion through the planet sidequest lines. I could still run the stuff sure but a little extra motivation would help.

It will also most likely get easier as time goes on. Even with the legacy update I can gain more XP from one of the game's sphere and level even faster. That really only applies for people that have been in the game for a while and leveled up their legacy but my alts may never see those missed planets either except for the class quests.

Actually, I haven't seemed to find any mention of it- but that seems to be an inherent problem of MMO's period:

XP always seems to flow far too quick for social mavens and far too slow for people who want to just take their time and enjoy the content- which is usually a solo venture.

Needless to say that the only solution that I was able to come up with is to just run alts- one "social" toon for teaming with friends/family/whoever on a well-populated server and another "solo" toon on some quiet backwater where no one can bother me and I can take my time and explore.

And, frankly? Given that I have yet to play ANY RPG of ANY kind both on and off- line that isn't filled with WAY more content than can be experienced in a single go (and I would be rapidly bored with any game that ever WAS that easy)... I'm okay with that solution for myself.

I mean, that's just the way that it is.

My solos are ALWAYS going to be struggling to finish the class missions even with grinding out just about every random mob that I encounter and my socials are ALWAYS going to blink by all of that cool content that I would hate to miss if it wasn't for my solos.

Point IS that:

Groups just ALWAYS burn through the XP faster- even WITHOUT bonuses: they have more missions/quests to complete and always complete them faster.

That's just the way it is-. IT IS WHAT IT IS...

You know, this IS in fact, WHY humans are social creatures: because we can do more and better in a group than we can on our own.

And game developers may indeed create the worlds that we play in- but... well, NO amount of coding can change reality.

So, frankly? I don't think that there IS a solution for Over/Under leveling except maybe trying to balance it out as much as you can or, do what I did and just make two.
