Post Remove the EXP nerf on "fast spawning" ai below level 500.
If a new player goes to a zone with relatively high level to them ai, and then proceeds to actually kill a few them, they will feel accomplished. The exp will be good, and they will probably farm/camp for a while.

For some reason, we have an insane exp nerf on certain low level ai. I understand the reason behind nerfing things like the Cyclops in Heph or the Oly roaming ai (which was reverted finally), but having the exp nerf on things like Space Blue Alpha Scouts in Blue Outpost, or Goblins in Protoplasmica? Why? All that does is punish the grinding newbs. After killing 1-2 you suddenly get 0-10% of the normal xp for these ai. Leveling is already shit enough without any other knowledge. The best part about it is that the game doesn't even tell you why you're getting no exp, you just get none.

If you're going to nerf fast spawning ai, at least do the most abused zones and leave the noobs out of it. IE: Copper 5-7, Subspace, etc.

TLDR: remove xp nerfs on things kthx

What!? Why in the fuck would they do this? Nerfing squad xp wasnt enough for you boring fuckers? Low level grinding is never fun.

I assume it's the anti-camping mechanic that went into effect. It's pretty crap to a low level and only really acceptable on high level swarm type AI.

Are you serious? This is actually a thing?

If so, it needs to be removed. No other game punishes you for grinding.

I've gone over a lot of the spawners in lower level zones, this shouldn't be a problem anymore.
