Please - this change has nothing to do with getting players to buy more Cubits.
The aim was to restrict:
The aim of XP is that all players can efficiently gain it at a consistent rate. But with the current configuration of XP on Rock → Stone players can get an alt and take them up 40+ levels spending almost zero time playing with that alt. You shouldn’t be able to give XP to an alt like this.
All activities should reward XP. Ideally we would give XP for all craft actions and all actions in general.
If someone can come up with an alternative fix we’d happily implement an alternative.
Any cunning ideas that allow us to limit the 11m+ XP gain whilst allowing XP for all actions??
