retiring: what's the point?

So I've been powering through to 31, and now that I'm at 28 I suddenly wonder why I would want to do it all over again? 3% increase in experience and miniscule improvements to gear, that cost more to repair because of it, doesn't seem like much incentive. anyone wanna share their reasons with me?

Obviously it's so you can be a dick to all the people who haven't retired.

point and case:
upkeep doesn't increase newbie.

I thought upkeep on loomed items increased? If it doesn't that makes it slightly more worth it. Ever so little tho.

No it does not.
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

Many people retire just so they can try out new builds, while some actually enjoy leveling back up (POOPHAMMER).

However, the equipment stat increases are not miniscule. They can make a large difference when you have several masterworked items. But you'll still be fine without them.

To be completely honest, heirlooms DO matter, especially Masterworked/Lordly (+3), even more if you loom armor.

looms are underpowered *rolls around in lordly armor set with champion horse and mw lance/mw greatswords, killing things with ease*

Basically you can crutch on looms to make your builds even more efficient.  Champion horse means less riding for more speed.  Masterwork weapons is basically an extra level of power strike and a few levels of weapon master.  Lordly armor is like 1000 points of iron flesh.
My posting is like a katana folded 1000 times to perfection.. and the community is what keeps the edge sharp.. and bloody.  -  Me.

15 gens later, I get 7100 xp at x5 now. The extra 2k helps in my grind to lvl 33. Also, more money if you sell items/ loom points.

So I guess if you loom black armor you get Goretooth :mrgreen:?

Lame joke, I know.

Op,
To fund the astronomical upkeep of a fully plated tincan on a tincan horse, sell them loom points.

Basically I love to level up, dont like to being stuck in a level nor the big gap above lvl 30.
And I like to try builds, and mostly to PLAY.
Oh, and looms as well.

Honestly, it seems like loomed gear is better than it's equal armour counter-part.

Wearing Lordly Banded, it really does seem like people glance more and do less damage than when I was wearing Corazinna (Both 52 body).

Well, it weighs less, making your speed that much more effective.
