Should gained XP count to both bars?

When you finish a quest, a random dungeon or a random battlegrounds you get XP bonus only to your active bar.
I find it extremely frustrating because I always have to remember to swap to the bar where I want to rank up ability or skill line despite using BOTH bars during activity.

    Yes it's stupid how it is right now. Can't say how many times I've missed out on useful xp because of this.

    It's "both bars" only because we have to bar swap. It's really one whole set of skills that contributed to the encounter.
    But the final answer might be to divide it between both bars instead of doubling up the xp.

    That's a great idea :)

    I voted no because there is nothing stopping a player from using only one bar and loading up the 2nd bar with skills just to level them. If there were a way to only apply XP to 2nd bar if it was actually used in the fight then maybe.

    I really don't see it as much of an issue though. Not near as pressing as other things in the game.

    Seems reasonable to me.

    I'm not particularly bothered by having to switch bars, but after leveling so many alts it's really just become something I'm used to having to deal with. It only really occurs to me if I miss a big chunk of EXP when I've got a 150% scroll on. It's not a deal breaker, but it does sting just a little.

    There is also no way of stopping a player from purcharsing tens of alchemy/provisioning master writs and lvling up all skillines in one hour :trollface:

    Right now, before handing in a quest I'll exit out of the dialogue screen, and throw whatever skills that aren't maxed on a bar just to level them up. Whether I use them or not. No sense in leveling up skills that are already maxed in my opinion.

    I'd queue for a daily Random because I have a skill(s) on the back bar I need to level. I go through the entire Dungeon telling myself "Okay, when the boss is at like 5% switch to your back bar", but then I get too into the Boss fight, my execute PTSD kicks in and I completely forget to get off my front bar.

    That's about 450,000 experience I just wasted.

    Yeah but someone somewhere spent the time to collect all those writs. Not that I am suggesting we be able to buy XP just because someone somewhere took the time to earn it.

    Yep and to go a step further, titles should go as well. Having Master Angler and Grand Master Crafter on a retired toon doesn't allow me to flex my epeen as hard as I'd like.

    @Commancho Personally im fine with either system, however, it is frustrating when you turn in on the wrong bar, or the skill takes FOREVER to rank up.

    If you're using both bars during the activity, then you got XP during the activity.

    Your skills will level eventually.
