Irregularities in Leveling
Certain classes have bonuses and penalties to leveling the 4 main stat skills. The classes who had extreme bonuses and penalties were ending up leveling more slowly than those with small bonuses and penalties. The stat leveling penalties are going to be lowered on most classes so that all classes level at the same rate. Special thanks to Kieria for finding the mathematical mistake in the assumption that +20% and -20% would end up balancing each other out.
For those interested, although the new penalty of a -20% will now read -17% it's actual value will be -16.666667% which is the near exact value required to balance leveling speed with a +20%. The same goes with all penalties, their display values are rounded but their server side values are exact.
This will take effect after the next patch.
