Re: Area Requests - NEW IDEAS

Do a run down of all zones that have a fight/chest/something that can't be twinked with 2-3 people (easily twinked that is) and put a XP item in each of these zones worth a flat 25%, regardless of level. Would create an alternative to bidding on stuff you already have that doesn't flood the auction.
