Before I start, you can't already purchase CL XP with glass can you?

Ok, good. Now I'd like to throw the idea out there, can we make it purchasable with glass please? I just think the quests are way too repetitive to do on all my toons, and grinding it out in PvE takes way too long, its supposed to be done with quests and stuff. I don't want the game to be too easy mode, as its already gotten 20 times easier than it used to be, but I think it would be fair if you could buy a level of champion XP for about 1000-1500 glass. This means if you didn't want to grind it out or do the boring quests on your new toon who needs CL10, you can farm 10000-15000 glass in 4-5 hours and then buy it yourself. It would also increase the demand for glass which I think is a good thing, because those who go out and farm it should be rewarded, but as it stands when people have half a million extra bounty points sitting around on their character, why are you gonna go out and spend your time farming for a few thousand of the same thing? It's like they've been farming glass since 2001 and saving in a bank till now.

Discuss.

Good idea. I like it.

As added benefit It would also increase glass value for new players to profit from.

+1.

I spend too much time templating in wisp/dtf/mti groups previous to 50 only to ding and repeat anoanother 180 times.
Would love to see a new currency on it though. Or a spread of xp items. Scales get you 20x an item that gets you cl0-3. glass another 3 lvls. bps another 3 levels. 3 seperate xp items, 20 per item, 6 or 9 levels from completion of all three.

Wouldn't mind something to the tune of 400 glass per. 400bp per. 40 scales per.

That or add a new currency to unpopulated dungeons, revamp a few mobs, revamp a few loot tables and breath some life into an old forgotten z...... wait......

I can't quite say I agree with you Hurleyy.

i used to like the days when level 50 felt good because of the grind. Things are a little too easy now. First time I bought ML1-10 for one of my toons it felt amazing. Second time, and all the other times after that, not so great, ML1-10 doesn't mean much anymore cuz of how easy it is to get.

Anyways all I'm saying is that 400 bp is way too little. You can make 4000 BPs in a pretty short time, and 4000 glass proly takes less than 2 hours if you have a proper farming setup. I'd still like glass to be important, just instead of spending 5-10 hours questing or 10+ hours grinding mobs for CL1-10, I think it would be reasonable if I could spend 4-5 hours farming glass, or just buy the stuff anyways. 4 plat for CL1-10 is too little, 10-15 plat I think is ok. Also I'd prefer not to have different tiers of leveling as well.

As an aside, I think they never should have made artifact credits purchase with BPs tradeable. I would have preferred just glass, but allowing you to use your own BPs to purchase ML's and Artifacts and everything.

400 per = 8k glass/ 8k bps/800 scales

I don't think that asking too much. On the honest side I think that's still a little cheap.

I would just hate to see any one of those currencies become even more inflated/deflated over this.

I farm the market not the mobs when I need cash, but I used to farm scales. I don't feel like the time is worth it when you factor a 2 hour turn around on BoI + Conflag that you paida combined 100p for is something to the tune of 60-75p per weap ... dependent on what realm/proper timing during the week.

I'd love to just see another sidi style currency in SH. Get people in there. TBH there isn't anything in there I like more than I enjoy ~20p. So I wouldn't mind it being a more popular/regulated marketr on loot.

And if you're on a class that needs a power myth and u don't have one, then ur being a burden for your group. I know its not bad through PvP but it should still be purchasable with glass.

Really that only affects Friars and Aug Healers. Remember when the standout players of those classes had to use restraint and not just spam greaters with spell queue on? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

But the inclusion of this option wouldn't be too bad.
