I just tested it on live:
I am level 66 and I trapped and killed a level 61 Bull Rancor. Three of my traps hit him. I received 856 trapping xp, and this is supposedly with the double xp week. This means that it would normally be 428. With Trapping in Ranger being 250000, I don't see how we will be able to level up without spending enormous amounts of time trapping.
Double xp doesn't start until May 2nd.
You're right. Still, it seems the xp requirements need to be lowered if we will be getting 856 xp regularly on a high level creature, and only the second box is worth 250k.
XP scales as you progress. While a White Con creature might give you 856 at CL 66, at CL 70 it might give you 1200. As you progress in CL all your XP gains also increase by a certain margin.

I said much the same to a young ranger in training I was chatting with last night. "It's only 250 creatures if you get the right ones..." His answer? "_____ that". And he went off to cancel his account.
I think that's what's known as the straw that broke the camel's back?

What's unfortunate is that alot of SWG players are stuck in the grind mentality. Personally I've been pretty happy with the rate of XP gain so far.
I've been playing a few other MMOs and they push the same type of XP gain. Right now, in another game, I need to kill about 80 same level mobs in order to make lvl 5 Ranger. As the levels progress I'm sure that number will increase as well.
I'm a bit worried about some of the existing caps, but otherwise the XP gain seems to be in line with the other Combat professions.
I've been witnessing about 1.5 - 2k trap XP on some creatures as well.
I noticed the lack of trap xp too this afternoon. Didn't notice if I got the xp when the critter died tho but I probably just missed it.
That mean you only get X xp even if you use multiple traps on it?

Last night I was getting around 4000 (from what I rememeber) trapping xp on white con creatures. I didn't think that was too bad at all.
Were you grouped or not grouped?
