You mean your enlightened exp ran out? It’s a game mechanic to narrow the gap between hardcore and casual level progression. You get 400k of bonus exp a day that stacks up to 4.8 mil, once it’s run out you no longer get a 4x bonus.

They may be misunderstanding the enlightenment mechanic. Your xp gains for cp are boosted based on how much time you don't play a given character and once that runs it's course, your xp gains go back to normal.

I don't remember anything in the patch notes about a per day cap, but if you only play one character, then your enlightenment boost would only be based on the hours you're not playing.

In addition, there is a huge boost in enlightenment from cp1 to cp300ish. It's a "catch up" mechanic. CP is definitely harder to earn after 300, but it's always been that way.

If you’re positive that it’s not enlightenment, it would be helpful if you could clarify what seems to be going on. (For example, what does “over 30” in your discord pic refer to? Over 30 CP in one day? Or once you get above CP 30?) Speaking only for myself, I’ve continued to get the same XP for doing the same activities as before. The same for master writs, dolmens, trash mobs, quests, etc. With enlightenment I get 4x the XP, then it goes back to the normal rate when I use that up. I’m currently CP 1120 and have gotten XP/enlightenment at the same rate before and after the patch.

It’s also worth noting that each CP requires more and more XP, starting with very little required at CP 10, increasing as you go, and seeing a massive jump the first level after cap (810). So if you were progressing at a decent pace and then hit 810, it will feel like you’re not making nearly as much progress as before. From what I recall, the first post-cap level requires something like 1.5 times the XP of the level just before cap. You’re still making the same XP for the same activities (enlightenment aside), but it’s taking longer and longer to reach the next level.

If none of this seems relevant, can you explain further what you mean or give specific examples of diminishing returns that we can look for?

Yes pretty sure they misunderstood the enlightenment mechanic.
Enlightenment is for the account not each character by the way.

Don't know about an boost from cp1 to 300 but you get 2.4 million xp in enlightenment the first time you get to level 50 or cp1 and this makes it fast to level up in the start. CP level is also much cheaper in the start.

And I think more people would noticed this and complained.Daily random dungeons give 100.000 xp if cp160 or higher.
Many run them on multiple characters and an drop in gain xp here would be very noticeable because of the huge round number.

Its however an cap on xp from quests if you are below level 50. This is noticeable if you are using scrolls during double xp events and do the major quests, this is so you will not get multiple levels from doing an quest.
This don't apply to the random dungeon reward who can give you multiple levels.

It is either enlightenment as others have pointed out, that the next CP point costs more XP than the last throughout the entire leveling, or those you see saying something in Discord lack a basic understanding of earning CP altogether.
