Offline Gains

[Kel]

So I saved up gold for the past 3 days to afford an auto attack damage upgrade. I'm not sure why it was decided for monsters to only drop 1 gold coin (that is not worth 5x as much) now with this update but maybe it helps lag or something. Assuming I need 60 days to gain enough exp to gain 11 levels, the change in DPS I calculated after buying the upgrade cuts off.... 17 minutes. It would now takes 59 days, 23 hours, and 47 minutes to gain those levels. I saw some newer patch notes that mentioned level 130-200 exp was revamped a bit for early players - cool, too bad all of the new players are going to quit before they get to that point. You know what happens when a player has to AFK grind for 2 months? New games come out and they find something that gives more progress than 18% of a level per day. If players were getting bored at endgame too fast then expand the end game and create more stuff for them to do there, don't artificially increase how long it takes to GET there in the first place.

Aaron - thank you for the detailed post trying to offer assistance, but the problem is simply the exp formula in this case and not user error. I have the auto damage, exp %, critical damage, and pet damage orbs at 2 stars. I have always kept up to date on challenges (though they no longer give base damage anymore either). My base damage is higher than anyone I can group with except for that one guy who had 2 rhinos at level 124. >_>

I'll check back in a week to see if this has been fixed. If not, I won't be the first low level player to quit from this so it won't be anything special for me to leave.
