I do not know if there is any system like this already implemented, but if it is then it’s pretty insignificant. Just to put an example, in the new HOT expansion there’s an event that asks you to kill certain creatures in specific areas. This takes quite a bit of time and if there are other players around it can scale up and become harder. This event gives 18k XP.

But you also have another event that asks you to vote for who you want to follow in another different event, it only takes 1 minute and gives you the same XP.

I think it makes no sense and while killing creatures does grant additional XP I still feel it would be more fair to have the XP rewards for longer and more complicated events be higher.

I would not mind the XP rewards being raised on the events that take 10x longer to complete in HoT zones compared to short quick ones.

That said… I don’t want the XP nerfed on the shorter events. So maybe if they just leave it as is…

Yah I do agree with that, when you are trying to get 2 million + XP to level up a mastery farming the same events over and over to get 18K from each is kinda boring.

I know it’s a complicated area since you do not want to have them too much XP and then have masteries be super easy to achieve.

Maybe the raid will have good XP rewards and will eliminate the need to farm events.

I think the raids main focus will be loot, that’s just me though… Also that’s just how raids have always been, who knows!

It would probably be a small overhaul to their event system to include some kind of a measurement of each event for the reward you get.

It could back fire though, those short events you love might suddenly drop from 18k to 4k, and the long events only go up to 22k or something xD

yah I know, I hope that they would just increase XP accross the board. 18k XP for just 1 event means that you need to do around 140 events to get 1 mastery level when you are around lvl 30 in masteries. There are only so many events you can do, and that’s just for 1 level so I bet we could calculate how many events you need to do in HOT to get max HOT mastery lvl.
