Normally agree with you Jolly but not totally on this one.
You say that if the drop rate was increased then players would hit level 75 'in months'. That's going to be one heck of a lot of months even if Woodcutter was available in the merchant for 1 map frag.
Taking a player who is on say 50million xp so far, that leaves them 950 million xp to go to reach level 75. Now if we say that every Alibaba they do drops nice extra quests or are linked to Excelsior quests so they get a hugely generous 500k xp per Alibaba on average. 950 million/500k = 1900 Alibabas. Next let's say they can achieve 3 of these per day (Not going to happen due to the elite barracks cooking speed but hey ho), this gives them 1900/3 days of Aliabas ie 633 days or approx. 1.7years to go. If we are more realistic and say they can do 2 Alibabas a day then this becomes 2.6years. For the ''normal'' player, with no premium and hence an average of say 350k per Alibaba, plus some real life, so that they do an average of 1 Alibaba a day, the figures lead to them needing approx. (950million/350k)/365 = 7.4years to get to level 75...... Thta's why many have stopped bothering to even aim for level 75.
Yep, game is about more than getting to the top level, which is just as well as it's going to be some time before anyone gets there, increased Woodcutter drop rate or not.
tried to? another good source
