What's with all the EE runs, did they screw up xp that bad?

I think I managed to log on once last week, and haven't bothered to run a quest in a while.  I've noticed that most the time when I look at the LFM viewer people are running quests on EE instead of R1.  What gives? 

Before the xp change I couldn't seem to think of a good reason to run anything on EE, since first time bonus on R1 was so much better.  R1 also gives those reaper stats, so I found it was quicker than EE anyway.

I'm not sure if will matter.  At my current rate of logging in and earning xp I think I'll hit cap just about the same time I get moved into a rest home and have some nurse changing my bed pan.

Here's from the release notes:

Quote:
XP Adjustments:
Bravery Bonus has been renamed Delving Bonus.
Conquest now has a ceiling of 100 Kills that will always trigger conquest bonus.
Many quests now have working conquest bonuses that didn't before.
Kill Thresholds for Aggression/Onslaught/Conquest are now at lower values of 25%/50%/75%.
Reaper First time bonus reduced to 45%. 50% of reaper's first time bonus has been moved into a new Delving Tier (Hard 50%/Elite 100%/Reaper 150%)..


I'm not sure the implications of all this just yet.

Like every group, there are schlubs and there are stars, and a lot in between. Pick your cause and I can say the same thing about the associated group.

Thats one way to reduce reaper lag I guess - dont have to calculate reaper points and stats if people dont step in and out of reaper mode (what a shitty design in history of MMOs).

There have been shittier but I'd put this one in the top 10 for sure.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.
