Keeping in mind that more contend will come, i'd like to share my thoughts about the actual XP balancing, wich in my opinion needs some improvement until the full release.
I also keep in mind that there are gamers who love to grind for ages, but i dont think they are in the majority.
I now played with my actual char until Lvl 18, wich took me 58 hours. I dare to say that i rather used an effective playstyle to reach this Lvl as fast as possible.
But lets be fair and therefor lets say i somehow wasted 10 hours, still 48 hours left.
Keeping pure XP farming aside, i easily can say that the actual contend + getting all items took me no more than 15 hours. But lets be fair again and give it another 5 hours, still 28 hours left.
So being said in a very fair way, 28 hours were pure XP farming.
Of course you could say that nobody forced me to reach Lvl 18, since the actual content could be done on lower levels too. This is true, the main contend i already did on lower levels, but i also think you always automatically try to get better when the possibility is given. I also think that the endgame contend will force you to have the claimed Lvl 20, and therfor XP farming is necessary.
So 28 hours of pure XP farming to reach Lvl 18 is definitely far too much for me. In my opinion it destroys the fun, the game flow and also the replayability. Knowing how long it actually takes to reach a high Lvl, i'm not sure if i'll play a 2nd game when the full release arrives.
So i think there should be a Lvl cap. And according to the balancing, if the endgame contend really needs you to have an around Lvl 20 char, then the game should provide an faster XP gain that allows you to have a Lvl 20 char by the end of the contend, without the need of endless XP farming.
