    Default Experience Potions.

    During Times of Development mistakes, or what not... instead of handing out dragon shards (which are largely useless in the long run), hand out Xp Potions which can be gulped and will provide a decent amount of XP for the level. Make them bound and non-tradable and provide XP based on level.

    LOL - I'm sure they'd love to do that, but after reading your last post, they are too buys coding the changes necessary to give clerics unlimited mana.

    on point though, experience isn't really that hard to come by, and "leveling quickly" just makes people feel a lack of content when they hit the top before exploring most of the game.

    Bad idea. Stop trying to come up with ways to make your game experience easier.

    I'm not suggesting they hand us free levels. But say, 5-10% of the XP needed for the level at higher levels. I mean heck, at level 10, that's right around a free PoP run without the loot.

    Factor in how often developers really need to say "I'm Sorry" and it's not that big of a deal in the long run, but it's infinitely more beneficial than a dragon shard.

    I feel a more substantial reward would be beneficial to the playerbase, rather than just another shard.

    The Shard being one of two things, utility, or Gold. For many people it's an unnecessary utility, as though the developers simply dropped cash into their bank account.

    The Experience Potion would be extremely useful to just about anyone, and for those who did not want it, it could be vendored off for a substantial sum. Say 100K at highest levels.

    In your first post you say that the potion should be bound and non-transferable.

    Let's remember, when all that bad stuff happened about a year ago, a lot of people were rather upset. A thread started about what Turbine could do to make it up to us. A lot of people wanted dragonshards. Turbine thought that a reasonable "we're sorry" gift and it's been commonplace ever since.

    Dragonshards are stupid and so are XP pots. We should be given a list of all loot ever generated in the game, including raid, and get to choose 2 items.
    That would be, oh wait, stupid.

    Thank you for directing me to that post...I heard someone talk about it yesterday and I thought it may be fun to see for myself.

    I was not disappointed.

    Alright if you want us to be logical, then really the impediment is how much XP do you give people in one of these potions is 5000 enough, maybe for a low level that is massive, but for those already capped it is meaningless as the potion does them no good and even if they aren't capped the amount is so small at that level that one short quest will give you more. So do you make them scale like dragonshards.
    Now you are spending resources on building an item which will never drop in regular gameplay and only when the servers are down and they want to give us a gift. I for one could think of better things they could be doing with their time, but that is just me. Like it or not the ability for them to give us free dragonshards has already been programmed and tested(it was done when they first introduced free respecs).

    Just like dragonshards could be catered to level (as seen in the last release of them) so too XP Pots could be.

    Further, "spending resources" on the creation of a single potion doesn't seem too much of an 'expenditure'. I think they can handle it. Further, if they give out free items en masse, chances are they thought ahead that maybe.. just maybe... they would want to give oru other free items en masse.

    I should refrain from saying what I think because "no one likes" what I think? The corollary being that I should go out of my way to tell people ideas that I think will be immensely popular and everyone will love me for saying, ignoring any sense of what I think is right or beneficial... just what everyone ELSE thinks is right.

    And no one sees the groupthink?

    It's not groupthink. Your ideas are awful.

    Is there any way we can get this guy to stop. All he every does is post the most ******** and stupid things possible. I can not believe the over all amount of stupidity this guy spouts. I mean come on already. Free Healing, Free EXP, what next Free membership and money, Ohhh I know everyone automatically gets all the free raid loot they want. That sound like something he would ask for.
    Dude please stop posting.
    All you do is make yourself look even dumber (not really sure if it is possible at this point though)
    Every time you come out with anything every one is against it. Take a hint.
