Now that areas have been spread out significantly, could some nice
wiz consider softening the "personal" part of the exp tune system?
Right now, the system relies on exp parties moving from one area to
another fairly frequently. Now that this is significantly more
difficult, it would be nice if more emphasis was put on the overall
# of times a monsie gets killed, and less on the number of times I
personally have killed it.

I'm not suggesting we get rid of that completely... just soften it a
little bit so that parties can stick in a smaller # of areas without
as stiff of a penalty.

If the personal exp tune was softened, wouldn't this be akin to
making it easy to get exp from one place. I.e. you are saying that
since it is now harder to travel between places we should be allowed
to make more exp from single places.

In which case I would argue that killing the same things over and
over again to get the same exp as you did by traveling around and
killing different things should not be possible. However, I might
suggest that a generally nicer personal tune might be in order,
especially for tougher mobs, if people really can't travel as much.

I don't think it would be fair to rely upon a larger role for
a more general tune to areas and mobs, since players that can travel
more easily will still be able to kill a lot of mobs in a lot of
areas.


I would prefer to see a stronger personal tune so that it is
worth traveling about in this larger world and also so that
players who don't like travelling are discouraged from raping
a few areas to the detriment of other players.
