Monolith Quest XP is an alt character penalty?

[DJSamhein]

So, new character, tried a few variants. Start point was level 17, with 135xp.

1-Ported to Fall of the outcasts, went to level 24, 372xp. Then ported around the rest, when I got to fall of the empire I got another boost and went to level 27, 595xp.
2-Ported directly to Spirits of Fire, level 20, 238xp. Reign of Dragons, level 27, 595xp.
3-Ported directly to Fall of the Empire, level 27, 595xp.
So it’s not really relevant where you land, you’ll always get the same. Fall of the Empire seems to be better simply because you get them all at once.

Started with 22624xp, ended with 88324xp for a total of 65700xp. Rolled it back, when I finish the campaign I’ll try again and see if the numbers add up, but I have a feeling they wil…

Gets free levels on an alt character and then calls it a penalty …

Or leave it as is because you’re banking that people will think I GOT BONUS XP WHEEEE and won’t realise that they’ve actually been screwed over. In fairness, it’s a solid position to take now I say it out loud.

OK so it sounds like you fell into this category, up to season 2 at least. I have acknowledged that the irk no longer applies since the introduction of A10 as now it is always opt in for the player whether to take the absolute XP value penalty or not, as it’s no longer (realistically?) possible to complete the campaign without hitting the break even point - where level XP requirement > quest reward XP.
