Killing everyone's XP is not a good way to reduce the tedium of grinding, though I support the XP handout since it means less people have to grind than if it was a complete wipe.

Don't grind if you don't enjoy it! Anyone unwilling to put in the necessary amount of effort shouldn't even be bothering with grinding in the first place. Associating RP expertise with nexus is by definition, arbitrary.

How will we distribute the XP

Problem is non grinders are mechanically punished for not grinding which encourages people to grind instead of RP. That's the core problem of Nexus. Free XP allows people to feed themselves without having to grind so I'm in favor.

Pretty much this. I don't care that people can get xp for doing tasks, but I would much rather have ranks describe how accomplished you are instead of how skilled. From "Nobody" to "Iblees' envy" would be neat I guess.

I'm really happy about the skill reset.  It wasn't like I put hours and hours into getting to legendary miner or anything.  I'm glad I didn't waste my time on grinding. lolz.  

 

Wait. I did.  Screw you filthy devs . . . .

I personally think that skills should work sort of in the same manner as magic, taught by like a masterful carpenter through rp, and then you could rp carving stairs instead of grinding 1,000,000,000 stairs to get to adept

but hey, I'm biased cus I hate grinding w/ a passion and prefer to type my heart out.

Either remove nexus or don't wipe skills. A skill wipe will just result in a week of LOTC's main grinders NOT RPING as they make up for lost time and get back up to where they were in the space of a week or so. It detracts from RP and is pointless.
