Combat 10 and up should aways give xp

Combat 10 and up should *always* give xp

If you are over license 10 in combat, your death should award at least 50xp regardless of your opponents lvl.

Reason: Ecka informed me last night that he hasn't gotten xp from a pk in over five years.

Not only do I feel I should personally always count for some amount of xp due to my ego, I would really like less excuses as to why Ecka flees.

Thoughts?

The problem with this it could be exploited to get more combat levels History has shown us if there is an exploit someone will use it.

As it stands right now exploitation is already possible.

With combat 22, Ecka and Sieger are matched lvl wise, so technically they could farm each other. (God that would take forever though)

However, you, or I, or Niki, or Bojan, or Big, or Ore, or YT, or footballprofit, or faille not giving any combat xp seems silly and inaccurate.

Not saying I have a great fix. But something should change imo.

The point of the system is that you should not get combat XP from killing lower level players. That just opens a big can of worms. Having Combat level over 10 servers no real advantage in game play. It is just a number to say "look how long I've been playing blah blah blah"

To be fair it would have to be applied to everyone i.e. I kill a level 3 I get combat XP. They are combat 22, have insane amounts of money and in some cases large stock piles of Faction Ships. They have enough.

Let them start new characters if they want to get Combat XP .

Fair points.

In the future maybe I should take ecka saying "you don't matter, you can't give me combat xp" as "You don't matter, it would look bad if I gave you combat xp"

Exactly.
