Guild Wars 2

I have been taking part in the dynamic events in Cursed Shore.
Before the Oct. 7 patch, I got experience for most (about 95%) mobs that died if I did damage.
After the Oct. 7 patch, I am rarely getting experience from mobs I hit/damage. Now it seem that I get experience about 5% of the time.

I read nothing in the patch notes about any change in the formula for awarding experience.

Was this intended?
At level 80 experience is not really useful; is it?

Regardless, I am enjoying the game. Thanks for creating the game.

All I can think is, before the servers were restarted for the patch, those mobs were alive a lot longer.

After the server restarted, the mobs had their timers for existence reset, so you got less XP.

Yes, experience at level 80 is important. You get Skill Points for XP at 80 and you need them to craft stuff at the Mystic Forge.

Thanks for the replies. I am learning every day.
