Please do not decrease VR zone XP when you make it easymode on July 7th

Ok I was a bit aggressive in the title but seriously when you make the VR content easy (something I prefer you would not do but I understand why you are) do not decrease the XP gain per your VR change post.

Doing VR 10 content as a VR 4 would just be silly and make progression really confusing. You have the zones labeled as VR 1 through 10 and a player soloing them doing all the quests should be able to achieve VR 10 at the end of the VR 10 zone.

Decreasing the already small XP those zones provide will only force more people to grind in the Craglorn groups to level up. Which by the way is not grouping socially but instead are 12 man zergs where you repeatedly kill the same 4 to 6 mobs in a 15 minute cycle for hours. Something that is already a work around because of the low XP gains.

What will happen is you will put a wall between leveling to VR 10 where the only way to efficiently get there will be those 12 man Craglorn zergs. There needs to be other progression paths, please do not remove the solo one.

Seriously please do not decrease the VR quests and mob XP when you make the changes to the VR zones on july 7th.

    Did they say that XP gains will be decreased? If so i have to agree but somehow i was under impresssion that they are gonna decrease XP requiered for levelup so progression will be faster.

    Nah, they will actually increase it, don't worry. They wouldn't want anyone (my grandmother included) to have to play more than 1h per vet level with 1 hand on the keyboard...

    Which part of:
    "We’re implementing some balance changes to content in post-50 zones that will make it much more like the content from levels 1-50. Our goal is to remove the feeling of “I have just hit a wall of difficulty” that many of you have expressed—you’ll be able to solo much more easily."
    doesn't sound like making it easier?

    I dont think vr levels are really that much harder than 1-50. Its always been 2 is trivial, 3 is entirely doable with some care, 4 is bad odds.

    I think that depends on the class and the type of mobs and the VR level.

    At VR8 a pack of 3 with a healer is impossible to down on my Templar because I just can't do enough burst dps to kill the healer quickly enough.

    That said in most cases there's usually a way round these packs.
