Increase Leadership profession xp - a lot!

juleadream

It just takes way too long to level leadership. Even running every available slot with the highest xp tasks, it takes forever. Back in the days of Leadership AD, it actually made some sort of sense to make it slow to level; the idea being to delay, as long as possible, the maxing of the profession and the (virtually) unlimited income from it. Now, however, with Leadership not being a primary (or even noteworthy) source of AD, it really does not make much sense for it to take so long. So, please Cryptic... increase the XP of the levelling tasks - the ones at level 2, 7 and 13 - once you get to level 21 LS, it's easy going.

But now leadership is a noteworthy, arguably the best source of RP... Which can be sold for AD. Leadership is still good for AD, it just isn't as direct anymore. More XP for faster levelling would be a nice change though.

The difference is that before, Leadership was generating NEW AD... which, to the degree that it was being used, was very damaging to the economy; too much was being generated. In being a source of unbound RP, it does not create new AD. The AD you make from selling the RP has already been generated from one source or another.

That's true, but since they took leadership AD away, they've added more in. The AD you get now was earned by other players, and exchanged for your RP. It's still a good source of AD, whether it is "new" AD or not.

Getting from 16 to 21 LS is mind numbing. They could also just reduce the amount of XP required for those levels.

It takes a long time, true...but some of the final tasks are really nice...I particularly like the lvl 23 crate of astral diamonds which I can assign 2 Heroes to run non-stop and generate the equivalent of 15.000-24.000 AD for my guiild coffer per day. I just wish I could run it in 3 slots like other tasks instead of being limited to just one.

It's worth the effort (unlike, say, weaponsmithing or artificing)
