i want inteligence or wisdom attribute then!

It wouldn't be realistic for crpg players to be able to raise intelligence/wisdom/charisma.

irl something shorted on the shuttle and laika overheated and died within a few hours of liftoff and for a brief while one could look up to the stars and see a light shooting across the sky that was actually a warm dog corpse slingshoting about the earth at thousands of miles per hour which was arguably humanity's greatest achievement so far

You'de have more luck explaining why the xp system is bad in terms of gameplay and fairness rather than in terms of realism. At least people can discuss that, you can't really discuss about abstract stuff like realism when we're playing a game that has huge realism sacrifises all over in the name of having a funtioning game to play. I could make an epic list of things that aren't realistic but are necessary to have an actual game to play. XP is one of them

why should someone progress faster than others (their teammates) just because they are better or have a higher level character?

You said one reason right there.
When in Rome, live as the Romans do; when elsewhere, live as they live elsewhere.

in reality you can make yourself age faster internally using all sorts of drugs / addiction substances.
Good point.
You try to tell us here we're not addicts.
Yes, been posted before. Rather than practicing swinging a weapon, it would be better to go 1 hander and learn a martial art that specializes in takedowns, because that's all that really matters in that sport.

How can a toon age faster than his team mate while playing on the same battlefield?


I think the bigger issue is how your toon is respawning after death.
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.

How is this even a thread?

Gameplay aside, XP = experience points. Yes, 2 characters may indeed spend the same amount of time in a battle - but they do not glean the same experience. Just like 2 people in real life spending the same amount of time in a school class? One might be in the corner dribbling while the other is learning - Who's going to "grow" more?

So the character on the winning team hacking off heads and helping his team mates will grow faster, as a pose to the peasant cowering in the corner on a team getting curb stomped.

The biggest issue is Gnjus's nose:

I completely agree with you. It is silly. So I propose that we take it another step further into a higher state of realism. Whenever you die you lose all experience you have gained.

You might ask why would you do that but, it is for the obvious reason that you are now a new fighter on the battlefield and you have no prior experience. It is the only way that this game could be more realistic and it fits perfectly into what you are saying.

why don't they just use the COD exp way it's so much more realistic, everyone knows that if you call in an ac130 it automatically gives you exp irl.
