XP for Healers

[Irolltwenties]

We had a new member of VM level from 0-52 in less than a week, because when ever he joined a server he started healing.

My guess is he also got in on a double experience period or Holiday event.  Or he played 24 hours a day.

No Double XP.  It was, because he healed, the team got further.

Sorry, don't believe.  I've leveled enough characters.  Screenshots or it didn't happen.  It takes a minute to level through the all the Normals required.  Even when people are carrying you.  You picking up a Simple Medic Box doesn't suddenly change a bunch of redshirts with sticks into Spartans from 300.

Also I'm not attempting to cheapen the importance of healing.  It can make a huge difference.  But 0-52 in less than a week?  No.  By the way who was claiming this?

Haikizoku.  You were there for some of the runs Bearstronaut.  It took 3 days for him to be able to to Rag.  And than he joined our events for the weekend.

It's definitely possible to level 0-52 within a week. Just have to have a lot of time to grind (and get people to carry you). It was even easier back in the day when you could equip and Aurora Blade and just slash wave 1-20 and experience gained wasn't based on the number of players on the server.

Wasn't he one of the guys who got his level one character in an event server and got like 50 levels in a matter of minutes?

[Sargent Q]

No.  Xen did that, a couple other may have.  This was 2 weeks ago,  not over a month ago. 

The point I was trying to make, is that healers do not need a Special type of XP.  Even if that could be coded in.

If people got extra xp for dropping a med kit you would have half the team dropping heals instead of killing bots and what is the point of a fully healed team if there is no body killing the enemy's.

My mistake then, please forgive.

No you wouldn't. You'd still get more XP from direct bot kills (theoretically). If people would prefer to do that over actually playing the game and killing the Nords, what the hell is the point? I agree with the others that it's unnecessary, but this is just a flawed argument.
