Since I can't post on the DDO forums, I'll post here.

Enhancements: I haven't looked at it.

Guild Renown: Doesn't affect my guild.  Even with half the guild playing Neverwinter, we are still advancing, although slowly.  I think we're 88 now?  I forget, haven't logged in for about a month.

Not asked, but the reason I'm not playing now: the 10% bonus xp to VIP.  I do think they needed something, and I think it was a great idea.  However, it destroyed the replayability of the game for me.  I spent most of my time TRing with a group of 6 friends.  Four are/were VIP, two are/were F2P.  What we found is that the VIPs would slowly outlevel the F2P.  So after a few levels, the gap was to far apart and the F2P would have to wait until the VIP leveled to where they had another character (or until they TRed again).

That doesn't make sense does it?  The gap should be fairly wide.  However, the lack of good xp quests at 18-20 means that we wind up running quests at 1-2 levels over to save high end xp.  So once you're even a level or two behind, you can't risk running those good xp quests early or you are screwed in the 18-20 wasteland.

Another thing not asked: Imo the easiest thing Turbine could do with a reasonable impact on the game is a balancing pass on quest xp.  Without it, a bunch of the content is irrelevant.  Base the adjustments on completion counters.

Ink, A 10% difference was that large?  It would seem that with 4.4 million XP to be earned, that a 10% difference would get you to cap while they are still at around 3.9-4.0 million XP.  Less than one level behind.  At no point would they be more than a level behind.  Also, since you could level 20 and still run level 18-21 content with them at level 19, you would just have to earn 400k-ish epic xp to get them to cap.  Not all that limiting.  If you save all the 18+ content till then, you would be fine. 

Obviously it was detrimental enough for you to quit playing.  That sucks.  Couldn't the 4 VIP's just not use voice of the master and skip the ship xp shrine to balance it out a bit?  I mean, purposefully gimping your XP by 10% seems lame, but it's better than quitting.   

oh, and for fucks sakes, please make heroic quests and epic quests have separate repetition counters.
