It seems like this is a suggestion that is on the tip of everyone's tounge, especially with the introduction of the bounty system.

I beleive it would solve many problems if Kills in PVP were just worth more (a lot more) XP than botting, so it wasn't so tedious to gain lvls.

I know this could cause a few more issues, but I think it will fix even more.

What do people think?

of course it should be worth more, it takes that much more skill to kill a real person then a stupid ai bot! I'm all for it.

I agree with your enthusiasm,johnhawl.

And how about killing players that have been designated as "heros/vilains" (a player absolutely loved by the opposite faction/hated by your faction)are worth even more XP?

I know that the idea of maing PVP more valuable has been mentioned before (I can't find the thread but I remember it well), but i noticed that it wasn't listed in the "already suggested" thread.

perhaps such a system is not practical with a still small player base?

I'm curious to hear what others think.

I like Dank's idea of getting a benefit from killing a player hated by your faction, although I'm not sure that XP is the right reward. Assassinating a player from another faction should reward you, but I'm not sure it should be much more than that from killing a bot. Killing a bot is arguably easier than killing a player, and there should be a greater XP reward for that, but not for killing a hated player. That kind of reward should be reserved for a bounty system, where the rewards are either monetary or physical (special items, etc.).

Good point about the XP reward, spaniard. I agree.

PvP is why i fell in love with this game

but the devs have gone mad with power and have almost completly obliterated the ability to enjoy PvP

or their girlfirends started playing and they are really really really really bad at PvP so they made their devs bfs nerf the crap out of it.

either way....knock it off!

Ok, so for pvp against opposing factions you get normal xp, which should be increased universally, and you get a much nicer faction bonus for killing the faction hero/villian.

Yeah, I think this one thing will pacify a lot of the negativity thats been floating around at-least still more updates come out.

Hopefully we'll see something like this in the next one.... or some time soon

* fingers crossed for the game's sake *
