Reaching very high amount of level 4 skills should be a long term goal, but there should be at least 8-10 easy gained lv4 power points to make 1 build
Do you think making overflow points take 2 years to get, makes poeple play for 2 years? Well news flash.. its not.
It used to be you reach level 60: FULL STOP. Any XP you earned was for and only went to any companion still leveling up. Then the Devs came up with this nifty idea that they would continue to count XP and throw you a bonus trinket that YOU NEVER WOULD HAVE EVER RECEIVED IN THE FIRST PLACE.
It's 100% bonus freebie.
I *do* agree that now they have added the fourth tier to encounter power ranks that you *should* always receive at least one power point in every ding of the overflow rollover bell, but are the requirements too high? Yes, but only because of the random nature of the rewards and potential junk.
However: if the rewards were consistent and always included at least one Power Point then the current "requirements" is fine just as it is if not too low.

I don't see any recent patch notes for preview that would support such. Maybe something some where is working as unintended?? Or perhaps I didn't look back far enough in previewshard patch notes...not sure.
Kreatyve seems to be the only person still capable of getting a peridot for overflow on live, or something. Possibly an old reward that had been overlooked. Loot tables have not been adjusted to anyone's knowledge, beyond the changes that came with M6 launch.

This. Either do it like now for certain rewards, or make it random but use the far lower XP bound, like before. Both is insane.
...I don't see that the ten plus five XP books are better - and I just got that. Also without a Power Point.
With rewards like companion experience tomes, sometimes the leveling up is pointless.
If a power point were guaranteed after each overflow level, then the XP *might* be ok, but as it is, it is woeful.
Before overflow xp points were introduced, (some) people knew how to spend regular points to make good builds. It was difficult choice without much room left but still it was better than now. New person could have viable build.
Stronghold is not a fix for XP problem.
Real solution could look like this:
Every 10 levels character gets extra points, that gives a player complete ONE purpose configuration - to have 2 dailies, 3 encounters, 2 at wills, 2 feats with rank 4. That is 9 additional points in total to have ONE complete configuration at level 70. I sincerely believe a player especially new one deserves it.
To have MANY configurations player will have to get A LOT of XP as long term goal. Clerics/tanks usually have multiple configurations - many for party, one for solo DPS.

I keep doing random quests to help guildies, dungeons, foundries, skirmishes, etc, and the overflow XP adds up.

I agree with those that say the xp required is okay if-and-only-if there is a guaranteed power point with each rollover.
-1dungeon+turn over SH quest
-4x vigilante quests+turn over SH quest
-2x random PE quests.
that's 7 quests for just 15% exp. I would need 7 days or so doing the full set of dailies to level up just to 68. The whole thing took me around 2 hours.
