Honestly, the only benefit that comes from this is clearing the leveling process faster. Instead of trying to clear your leveling process faster, take the time while leveling to build up your resources so that you are ready for lvl 70 when you do reach it.

The current leveling process is already unnecessary as it is. This is an extraneous process due to the fact that there are no lvl 65-70 quests that really work. The grind is tedious and by allowing bonus exp 24/7, it makes the endgame content more enjoyable. Building up your resources to be ready by level 70 would still be achievable, even with the bonus exp. Therefore, bonus exp should still be enacted.

This would be very helpful and useful, especially for those running single target classes that are on their way to level 70. This seems like a very balanced and beneficial move.

This is my humble opinion for a better upgrade/progression system:

-- Reset all current gear to +0 (prerequisite)

This will function as a soft reset which is needed for the current state of the game (refunding cash shop currency as deemed fit). Alternatively, this could also be solved by having Seasons (see below).

-- Make upgraded gear non-tradeable

This will keep the economy from overflowing with upgraded items and encourage character investment/building.

-- Make the system progression/grind based instead of RNG based.

My proposal is to get rid of the RNG by implementing an exponential progression system by converting the upgrade stones into a form of currency.

In details:

• Get rid of all stones except red/blue/white ones.
• Make red/blue stones drop from mobs/daily quests/pretty much anything you do in game.
• Make white stones drop from bosses or other content you want to promote people playing.
• After level 4 (armors) / 6 (weapons) white stones are required to upgrade.
• Make each upgrade require more stones than the previous and optionally add an incremental zeni cost that can act as a zeni sink. Keep the numbers of stones/zenis required lower for lower level items (e.g. a level 70 item is harder to upgrade than a level 30 item).
  
  For example, to upgrade a level 70 weapon: (Numbers just for demonstration, don't take them literally)
  +1 => 1 U70 red stone + 10000 zeni
  +2 => 2 U70 red stones + 50000 zeni
  +3 => 5 U70 red stones + 150000 zeni
  +4 => 10 U70 red stones + 400000 zeni
  +5 => 18 U70 red stones + 1000000 zeni
  +6 => 30 U70 red stones + 3000000 zeni
  +7 => 45 U70 red stones + 9000000 zeni + 1 white stone
  +8 => 65 U70 red stones + 9000000 zeni + 1 white stone
  +9 => 90 U70 red stones + 15000000 zeni + 2 white stones
  ... etc
  

-- Optional (but strongly recommended for the health of the game)

Implement a form of Seasons (similar to PoE or Diablo 3) that will last for a significant amount of time (e.g. 1 year). When the "Season" ends all the "seasonal" characters become non-seasonal and are moved to the same server with characters from previous seasons.

The "Seasonal Server" will then be clean and provide a new start for everyone. Also the "seasonal" server will have some season-exclusive items, like dogies for example, to encourage players to play "seasonal" characters.

Just my 0.02

This Idea is Genius. Here is to hoping that they actually implement this.

Quote from Scofield

More ideas:

-stay the same RNG

-Remove possibility to get purple/green stones from mobs

-Purple/green stones can be dropped from UD/TQM/events.

-Adding 2 more cards(now 5).(to be decided, you need to think about it first)

-All players are able to udgrade to +12(good defense and attack) without difficulty.

-Decreases Sucess rate from +12-15(50-80% maybe? idk) THIS WAY WON'T BE TOO MANY +15

-Zeni usage to udgrade(idk the amount, 200k ea udgrade?)

-Removing all stones from cash shop or decrease the rate a lot..

-Keep the same Red/Blue drop rate(keep the white drop rate same as well?, idk you need to think about it.)

-Purple/green usage should increase the possibity to hit sucess card(and make the stones harder to get).

-Purple/green stones gives +2-3 only, remove +1

-Removing broken card.

They need to remove RNG period, the Zeni Red/Blue and White system is perfect. No RNG needed.
