XP SEASON

So why is it that during the venture to get to level 50. Its in increments of 10,000. Now the extra objectives are 12,000 with no major addition ( probably less) of earned rewards. Personally. I hope they scrap this ill thought out incentive. Finish early. You can be left with a week plus of earning nothing in SBs. Also. What incentive does this format offer? There isn't any. Same rewards. Same goal to attain the card at level 50. The SB game has become boring. Also. Please get rid of those AcctBnd cards. They are useless unless used. No trade value in any way shape or form.

  • What exactly do you want? I don't fully understand.

    You are complaining about the bigger increments in the bonus tiers, but at the same time you are complaining about finishing the XP path early. It seems to me like those two complaints are somewhat contradictory to each other. I mean isn't it less likely to finish early when the increments are bigger and therefore the XP path is longer? In that sense the bigger increments should be a good thing. But yes, it could be done in a different way. There could be more tiers with smaller increments and the XP path would be just as long as it is now, or even longer, if that's what you are asking for.

    But I also want to remind you that at the start of the year we didn't have bonus tiers at all. Then at some point we got 10 bonus tiers, and now we have 20 bonus tiers. EA hasn't given us infinite bonus tiers even though we have been hoping for that, but at least they have done something to extend the XP path.

    And I think we should also acknowledge the fact that EA is allowing us to carry over XP from the previous season to the next one, which is a major reason for finishing the XP path early. I don't believe they intended to do that in the first place and I don't know why they haven't prevented it. Even though it is nice to get a jump start for a new XP season, I believe things would be better if we had never been able to save XP from the previous season and use it towards the next one.

    So my question is what exactly do you want? I know you want to get completely rid of the XP path, but if that isn't an option, what is the improvement you want to see in the XP path compared to the current situation?

    Here is my answer to your rebuttal. You have thoughts on this game as does anyone else. 50% of the time those takes will be in contrast. I started this by asking a question. Which you don't have the answer for. I then made my personal objection to certain aspects of this game. Obviously you don't share those aspects. Which is fine. You are intitled to your opinion. But in your rebuttals. Dont start with this condensenting reply like What do you want. I stated it. Read the text.  If you are happy with the game the way it is. All the power to you. And as far as EA is concerned. I acknowledge nothing. This game has been in decline for years now. But then again. My opinion. Not asking you to like it or agree with it. It was just a personal statement.

    I'm not sure why you think I'm disagreeing with you. That's not the case. I'm just asking for clarification. And sorry if I came off as condescending. That wasn't my intention at all.

    And yes, you are right that I don't have an answer as to why the bonus tiers have bigger increments than the regular tiers up to tier 50. If I had one, I would definitely tell that answer to you.

    Anyway, if I understood correctly, you want smaller increments in the bonus tiers, but you also don't want to finish the XP season early. But if the increments were smaller, then the XP path would be shorter and you would be even more likely to finish it early (unless there were more bonus tiers than there are now). Other than getting completely rid of the XP path, what do you think is the solution that would fix both of those issues?

    No disrespect to you intended VS in my comment. It was just a personal objection. And responding to your question. 24s concept was a better format. Like I said. Incentive needs to be paramount in this game. Without it. Its just a repititous revolving door of doing the same thing over and over. No metric to use to judge ones skill set. The top 100 in 24. There was an incentive. As well as the tiers leading up to it. So my take. Re-establish the 24 format. This one is boring.
