Now that GoD has been out a while and most guilds have found their stride I am sure alot of members have started to find some time to play a bit off raid hours(well the ones that mostly only have time for raiding anyway).

With the new AA that has come out,regardless of how good or bad it is for some classes,there is some advancement to be had.So lately I have been exploring the various zones in GoD to xp in and finding them to be utter shit compared to Elemental XP.

Take a Zone like Kod'Taz or Yxtta,You can't zone into KT in the first place without being level 65.If you choose to go to Yxtta it means clearing some mobs invising around and such to get where you want to go.Mobs are not any more difficult than Fire but they do hit harder,and its a bit more of a pain in the ass to get to than just zoning into fire and running to C1 or whatever.

They increased the AA prices becuase AA was to "easy" to get now,which I agree with it is easy to get,but its easy because of EP XP.Outside of a couple of Augs off named that most will have within the first couple weeks of the expansion,and then spell drops,There isn't any good reason to stick in KT or whatever to XP when you can just go back to Fire or earth or whatever and get more XP for less of a hassle .

Its not like its difficult to gain access to the EP's anymore,I jsut don't see why the XP in a zone designed for players of a Time level calibre and beyond would have XP that is equal to that of tier 2 pop zones.Is it because of the leet range item that drops ? is that reward enough for xping in that zone over old EP zones?.

I remain in KT anyway,because its new and not fire ,but still its breeze xp groups just like EP groups were pre GoD,they are no more difficult and yet they are less rewarding as far as time spent --> AA pts are concerned.Shouldn't there be some incentive to using the new expansion outside of raiding and TSing?

Few people like grinding anymore,with the increased purchase value of AA combined with the lower XP values in GoD than older Expansions it jsut makes an already tedious task even more tedious.
