My first character was getting RA points(the xp type) while being in the frontiers leveling and occasionally being ganked. Apparently this went away in a patch change. What were the mechanics? Was it level based? Changed level req? Do they have something different now?
I’d love to get a few RA points to spend to help pve leveling before hitting 50 to be able to compete in the frontiers with all the maxed players
The patch basically nerf'd new people's low levels out of the advantages the early people got...
I used to run my level 12 guys out to the frontier and let them get ganked twice (over 2 different ticks) and be at 1L4. That was not me trying to bother people or steal their fun... It was just me trying to get the 4 points of RAs so the leveling from 12-35 was easier.
I understand that they didn't was low level guys running the frontiers endlessly... I understand hat they wanted to encourage people to go into battlegrounds... But new alts don't have the same benefits as the initial people did.
As far as I know... you have to be level 20 before u can get RAs in Thid to have both Tireless and Long Wind. That sux for the new people.
What they could do is give alts at level 5 realm points up to 1L3 or 1L4 instead of 1L1 in order to give new people the same benefit we enjoyed.
To be honest... I would start people at 1L0 at creation and give them 10 realm points (from 0L1-0L9 plus the 1L0). This would allow more diversity at creation and reduce the gap a bit from new to current. I would also cap the realm ability points able to be earned at 99 or 100.
