And upgrading loot via crafting, imbuing, etc., = use of skills / accomplishing feats = xp. So there you go. XP for getting stuff, part of gaming pop culture for 40+ yrs.

Say what?This game and another little one called D&D, and many of its many offspring.

In order to level up you need to find 13 pieces of the Cleric's Candlestick and spend a huge load of souls to upgrade it even though you're not even interested in using that piece of poop-sword. I just think it strays too far from regular progression to be something I can accept without letting myself to re-adjust for a while.

I tried to clear some PVE early to see if the change had taken place and when I didn't get XP, I went and started applying my champ levels and championed a 2*. The XP totals were low and I thought that's just the way it was (my own fault there for not checking the chart first).Even so, I don't remember the actual XP totals, so I may have gotten the proper amount and it is just underwhelming.But if what you're saying is accurate...To roll out one change that takes away...and at the same time delay a change that adds....seems a little too much like the bugged display odds they left up recently. I still get XP from my Story missions.

@Brigby what time is the data push for the xp going out as far as tokens and covers? Players are sitting here wasting resources. Please give us some kind of idea. Will it be the end of the Sakaar Arena Event?
Dax317 said: Sorry to post back to back.I received xp for my dpdq this morning. So inconsistency seems to be the rule of the day. I understand Strange not having xp. But why didn't they say, "Hey at 12pm EST the new xp rules will be rolling out game wide, except for strange sights." Oh wait, forgot who I was talking about.
