I propose that if a player decides to retire after lvl 32 or higher, they should get heirloom points based on the amount of experience points, i.e.
8.7 million is one heirloom = one generation
17.4 mill is two loom points
34.8 mill is four loom points, etc.
Does anyone agree with this.

1/lvl after 31

yeah but lvl 33 is like grinding to lvl 32 twice, so I think it should be 4 loom points, like 4 generations worth of exp.
-
If experience gained over the retirement cap was credited (as stated in the first post), I would very much consider retiring my 32 character.
-
Bad Idea. Now you have to choose, retire at 31 and get looms (or sell it) or go 32+. If you decide to go higher than level 31 you sacrifice your ability to get heirlooms. And if you reconsider again you sacrifice your high level and still get only 1 loompoint. This makes very much sense to me and should not be changed.
-
I think it would be nice to get like 2 heirloom points at like lvl 33 or halfway from 33 to 34, can't see much reason to go past that since EXP is much easier to acquire at higher levels.
-
I think that there are better options for a post-31 retirement. My inclination is for a 4th heirloom level past MasterWork, attainable at level 34 and can't be bought/sold on the market.

How about a compromise?
Make retirement cost 8m XP + 50% of your remaining XP.
So retiring from lvl 31 (8.7m XP) costs 8.35m XP and will start you again at lvl 15ish
from lvl 32 (~17.5m XP) costs 12.75m XP and will start you again at lvl 30
from lvl 33 (~35m XP) costs 21.5m XP and will start you again at level 31
Overall this would mean
- less time spent as a peasant for frequent retirers (we're only talking a few hours but those first few levels are really crap to grind out)
- retiring early is still the most cost effective
- retiring later costs more but you don't have to grind out all those low levels again and can continue using your good gear with a level 30+ build
- retiring stills costs more than respeccing although I would reduce the respec cost to 25% to keep it as the much cheaper option.

That is a cool idea, sir.

Yeah, I would retire for Leshma's Danish Greatsword :D
Imagine that, you die early and some pro dude pick up your own weapon with your name on it and kill 15 people in one round.
OP's idea not bad, 8 loom points in one go, sure sounds sweet.

I was pretty sure that chadz or another dev mentioned that this may happen some months ago. Would be cool.
