My take on rock-stone xp removal and plots

It seems to me that the real issue for the devs (I may be reading it wrong) is the higher level characters using this process to cheaply level for cubit/plot gain.

That’s not it, at least from what I’ve read.

There are 2 exploits:

1. Players can collect rock, setup a crafting farm with Alt-1 - then Alt-2 does all the crafting. This means that Alt-2 can jump up many levels for minimal play time.

We have no problem with players collecting crafting XP when they have harvest materials. At the same time we have no issues with players sharing resources between their friends and alts. But I do think it’s an exploit to get a new alt to Level 50 in under 5 hours of play time. The exploit is that the alt-2 is levelling too fast.

2. Teaching Pies are supposed to boost XP for 30 minutes of activity. Queuing up 10 hours of crafting, taking a teaching pie, signing out for 12 hours, then returning means that the Teaching Pie is boosting XP for 10/12 hours - not 30 minutes.
