Just a suggestion and I don't know how much this is perceived as a problem but at the moment places like Kaesora Library are generally camped by T11+ knights duoing with a healer class or necro or very powerful DPS. Less powerful duos are camping DN, Sorcs Castle/Village and MielC etcetera. There may very well be leechers but the predominant issue is someone farming for one of the more expensive charms. Personally I find this sort of duoing joyless and much prefer 6 man groups. However, the XP/Plat balance dictates that you have to duo a lot to get the platinum for the two most expensive charms. This also means that classes that duo badly can't get groups and take much longer to get their charms.
Why not rejig the balance so that say (these are only examples, exact ratios could be decided by Devs) the price of charms were halved but then had to be Xped in the same manner as the seeds from the bounty hunting quests. Again exact amount of xp would need to be decided but you could say that a Supreme Charm needed 20 codexes of power to be fully xped and cost 600K instead of 1.2 mil. If you traded in a fully xped Eternal you subtracted the cost of the Eternal which would be half current cost and you got the xp already earned credited towards the new charm so instead of needing 20 codexes you needed roughly 11 to have a fully working Supreme.
Initially the new charm would have the same stats as the traded in charm but it would improve in the same way that the seeds with XP do but linearly.
The net effect would be to encourage people to be in groups rather than duoing because maxing XP would have same priority as getting plat. If the ratios are properly calculated then it wouldn't be any easier to get a Supreme just more enjoyable and more social.
Just a suggestion what do people think? Obviously if implemented would need to be a grace period for people to do charm in old manner if they were close.
