Ok so I dont get Med XP in a med center.

Am I the only one that thinks that is STUPID.

I know they did it to stop tumbling XP.

Why not let us get XP for wounds in a Med Center.

I really want to keep playing, but if I cant get XP in a med center I will not renew when the time comes.

I really think SOE over re-acted to the tumbling XP.

I mean really SOE announced they were going to allow item and account selling in EQ II on one hand but they kill the Doc profession because of tumbling.

Looks like a double standard to me. Its ok if SOE allows cheating in one game (because they make money) but God forbid cheating in another.

I don't think the change was a correction to tumbling. If it was it makes no sense. Tumblers used to drain their action pool which we medics/doctors/CMs would then heal. But in the post CU world we can only heal the health pool. So tumbling was already rendered ineffective.

I think maybe the DEVs thought that giving us the ability to heal outside the medical center and without the use of droids or a camp (Cleric Style healing.) would make it to easy for Medic/Doctor/CMs to gain XP. Just run around and heal and buff in Coro. till you've mastrered profession. So in order to limit that I figure they decided to make it a combat class and have the healers work for the XP. That they figured would be easy to get.

Problem is I don't think they examined the overall playstyles of the gamers carefully enough when they implimented the changes. The vast majority of the players appear to be soloist. (Nothing wrong with that. A solo player still interacts with the community. And come on could you picture a crafting group. Crafting is all done solo.) And the solo players are taking on MOB/s that are typicaly lower levels than they are (Remember before the CU a buffed player in composite was really at a much higher level than some of the harder MOBs in the game.) That's the playstyle the majority of the players liked and are used to. And from what I've been observing it appears to be the type of style the players are still trypng to play to. (Hence the lack of XP under the new rules.)

I think within the next few weeks we'll start to see the playerbase adjust to new styles of play and things will balance out. But if it doesn't happen and Player character development comes to a halt I think the developers will just make a adjustment to the modifiers to Mobs that are lower than the player level. After all with the level system it's probably very easy to code a 10% modifier per level to say a 5% or a 1 %.

Bottom line Leasa, and everybody else outthere suffering from the XP problem, is don't quit just yet we know the DEVs monitor and compile in game stats. The situation will either correct itself or a in game adjustment will lkely be made.

Hang in there guys
