Vermehrt has a point. I've been playing a lot of MMORPG and most of them doesn't even have a 100% rate. I grind my way from Level 1 to what max Level they have and seeing players complain here makes me think of them as whiners. Seriously, just deal with it.

Here's what I remember about the EXP setting of this game. Last year, me and some of my friends noticed that EXP rate dropped a bit so we asked around. We were able to talk to the GM (I can't remember if it's Winter or Miswa) and we're told that they did brought the EXP rate down. They said the original setting is 700% and they lowered it to around 500%. I can't remember the exact month and date of that conversation, but they really reduced it down just like that--no announcements. Sure, we are disappointed, but 500% is still fairly high. That just means we have to kill a few more monsters for EXP. No big deal.
Then the December EXP event came out. They offered 700% EXP for the event duration and according to the announcement from GM Cliph, that's where the issue came from. He said that the EXP setting was not reverted back to the previous setting so everyone thinks the EXP rate was reduced even if the Developers applied the EXP bonus.
I also agree with Vermehrt when it comes to grinding/hunting. Why stay at Ice Castle forever? That's really boring. You also have to compete with hunting spots there, so no. I hunt at maps with low player population, sometimes no players at all so I can hog all the monsters for myself.
