Yeah, well I don't really mind.

I'm not whining, actually it'll be great as getting now ninja and warrior up wont take so damn long. but I myself have done nearly 100k experience points "for nothing" because of this change. Would've been nice if SE would've compensated people somehow...like us lv 75 people with merrit points. I could boost STR and many other abilities with merrit poitns worth of 100k exp. =O But yeah, at least I can say I earned my lv 75 'hard way' or something like that. XD
