Ahh yes. "The G-Spot" - it was great as there was always action, fast mob respawns, good XP, a great place to meet (instead of AFKing at CS) and was really social, due to the large number of grinders. I'd much prefer more places like that than random boosters. It was a great shame they were removed, as doing so also removed a number of really enjoyable aspects of the game.

+1 to Piotin, lack of mobs kills grind.

NGD gave xp values to mobs for a reason, they certainly didn't put the xp value for i.e. a level 50 mob at 190 base xp so it can be doubled or tripled with (free) boosts. Therefore I say No Boosts.

I approve of the "more mobs" notion.

I'll expand a bit, since it's not "just" more mobs imo :-)

Boosters can be at best described as "patches" (or hotfixes in NGD-lingo), they cover shit up but are never a solution, just another workaround which bring along its own issues.

To solve, or at least attempt properly, imho you'd need
1: First and foremost: XP distribution reworked (conju, hunter, support knight, ...)
2: Improved XP from RvR, since it's the main objective in this game
3: Improved mob spawn rate and relocation of mobs according to their level (55+ mobs closest to bridges, the lower lvl the mob the closer to the saves), all 40+ mobs out of inner realm.
4: Equal spreading of mobs of every level and damage type/speed accross all realms (dare I say: balance it out)
5: Improved incentives to grind in parties instead of alone (better GRP, higher GRP on foreign soil, ...)
6: Optional: Capturable area's where groups can grind like crazy (~ dungeon runs) this could possibly be instanced, as in cap and hold for X minutes and you gain entrance for 1h, or just leave 'em open so groups can raid each other as well ...

and probably some other stuff I left out.

This in turn should encourage buying a booster now and then (without creating a necessity)

The point is not to make it even more of a grind game, but to make the inevitable grinding part at least somewhat enjoyable.

Me too! Voted No to XP boosts, I've never been a fan for the very reason that it's a war killer.

I highly doubt 24 hours constant boost will help, as the end result will be non stop grinding 6 characters and maybe some Lamai characters after those 6 are done.

After checkin few tasks i found out that kill X mobs is giving same xp as you would get from killing ones anyway.... Most profit tasks so far are collect X from Y ones. but still they involve killing mobs and random.

and I also can't understand something.. you said you like exp boost 1 hour per day or 4 hours each other day, why not a 24/7 then? much more time for everybody! this can be possible if people casts their votes to yes!

Why not? because...

To be fair, i always was vs killing war, so best idea i can pull out is boost only for 1-50 so they can get to war fast.
But then again, Piotin's ideas are the way to go.
