Longer leveling

So I'm new to this game and currently lvl 30, almost 31. The most exciting part of this game for me was the prospect of lvling to 31, retiring, getting a little bonus on an item, and then creating a new build, rinse then repeat. I am however, increasingly weary of retiring now though, seeing how long 30-31 takes and how there's virtually no bonus upon retiring.

In short, does anyone think it will go back to an older way of lvling (i see people in chat talking about being 12-60th gen which i can't even fathom right now). For me, the longevity of the game is threatened because of the very, very, long time it will take to retire every generation. And please no, "then don't play" bs comments because I really do love this game.

Then don't retire, try and work your way up to 35 instead.

I have been playing since early versions of CRPG and I am generation 1. It is not worth the grind IMO.

The purpose of wearing plate has become nothing more than crippling yourself to look like a knight... or maybe its my lack of athletics

leveling is really a pain now, at first i wasn't retiring, then i thought, by the time i get to level 32, i could have leveled up again with an heirloom, hopefully they will give exp a slight buff...

It's really a grind trying to get to 31. If the experience needed to get from 30 to 31 was reduced by maybe 30% that would be much appreciated. Or re-disburse the the ex needed for all levels so early lvls take longer than currently and later ones take less than currently.

Yeah, I have to retire this time because I want to tweak my character a bit (like not having 5 PT) but after that i think I'm done retiring which is a real bummer because I want to try more classes. I just feel without a chance to try different classes my interest might wain a bit. And I know I can create alts but that's grinding all over and I'd like to keep my identity within the community.

Anyone ever head of alt´s ?  :shock:
I've never played a server where people split up as much or as often as on EU1.  No wonder range is having a field day.

Heard about enjoying the game when you are at lvl 30, and don't care about leveling up ?

I play the game to have fun, not to grind. Longevity of a game should not be determined by grind potential but by how fun it is.

heirlooms are there as a small reward for those who WANT to grind.
Also, I have declared myself #1 NA hybrid thrower
Formerly known as Marathon.
As an NA admin, I am the most laid back and concerned with the ~fun of the game~ above all other factors. I've also been super inactive since Summer 2012. University takes most of my time, but I still find some time to play when i can.

i dont mind usually but it gets dull after playing few rounds with my clan on ts then get switched randomly, often i lose interest an that point and just quit.

i doesnt happen all the time tho
