User blog comment:Switty/New (best?) method to gain max XP after the capping of Scooter and Bike Stores!/@comment-5477177-20130306181105/@comment-75.166.222.170-20130307020911

Pysph,

I completely understand your strategy and appreciate your feedback. The main reason I posted this potential method was not entirely to give players a reason to max as quickly as possible. I just wanted to put myself into the shoes of players who may have felt jaded with the capping of the scooter stores. I know that I would have been upset had I spent months growing my village waiting for the moment I could begin purchasing them, only to find out that they had been capped. Moreover, the cap gives an unfair advantage to earlier players.

This being said, 3.6 billion XP does not even seem approachable with the new cap. I have no problem with players taking their time to max and continue to enjoy the game, but I also know that there are players that want to achieve these high levels in a reasonable amount of time. I was merely providing a potential outlet for these players.

Also, I wanted to clarify that I agree with you: at higher levels coins really have no meaning other than an exchange for XP. The reason I mentioned purchasing other stores that gave more gold was that in order to achieve higher levels of XP per whatever period, one has to have a considerable amount of stores and resources. Since I did not have the chance to test this method (as I am not actually in the predicament) I figured that it would be prudent to mention gold gaining methods as well (specifically for the later purchase of more stores). However, I believe it is possible that a method where an emphasis is not placed on gaining lots of gold but rather just on XP may actually be more effective and fun.

Lastly, as I said, I have been max level for quite some time now, but I still find a reason to play every day! I continue to grind XP in hopes of new levels, rearrange my village, and breed dinos. I agree that at this point that I'm "merely maintaining content," but I can assure you that I, as well other max level players, are still having fun doing it!

Thanks again,

Swit
