With the upcomming release of Lordaeron, we will probably see new players around here, however not all of them will like some features of Lordaeron like no RDF and progressive release, so they may come here to play and maybe they would like to play at x1 rate, so, for these new players, how about a x1 xp rate option is added? It would be activated by a slash command like ".xp x1" and reversed by ".xp x7"
It seems to me that most people don't want 1x because they want to spend more time leveling, they want it so that everyone has to spend more time leveling. It'd be like if everyone on a realm hacked, you might want a hack-free realm, but being the only person there not hacking wouldn't be sufficient. I don't have this opinion, but i think some do.
