Xp statue ?

[thark]

<div>:smileyvery-happy: Just for the fun of it , How many players do you think would stand outside Qeynos or Freeport and click on  a statue that generated 100 xp per click and every 1000 click a random fabled item ?</div><div> </div><div>Would it be full 24/7 ? Or would players choose to ignore this, what do you say ?</div><div> </div><div> </div><div>/Rigge</div>

<div></div>hmm  - interesting, now to do it right add in a heavlily weighted chance that when you click it you get a Cazic Thule Death touch that completely destroys your equipment, all bank items, repros your house and all in it and deletes your character and it might be workable

Something need not be hard to be fun. I wouldn't click the statue repeatedly, because I don't view that as fun. However, if there were a zone that was very easy to me that I got great xp and great loot and no risk, yeah I would likely do it several times in a row. Killing stuff is a lot of fun, getting loot is fun, watching the xp bar move is fun. After a while the battle would get boring and then I would not do it again.For me, in order for it to be fun, it has to be an interesting battle AND good xp AND good loot. I can go a while without one of those, but I get agitated after a while. If you fight for an entire weekend and never get a chest, it feels pretty crummy. Doing grey quests that give interesting loot (even if it's too low level to use) and fun combat is okay, but after a while you feel like you aren't get any xp and need to move on. The same goes for the battle itself, if the fight is boring but gives good xp and loot, I will likely not do it that often unless there is a PARTICULAR piece of loot I am wanting.<div></div>
