All you've been doing by keeping the gains low is gating the people who really want to go out and make things happen ASAP because they're playing the game "incorrectly." Making the experience as boring as possible for these people in the hopes that they'll play the game "correctly" does nothing but harm the game and appease the people who need arbitrary excuses to feel better than other players.
This is likely an unpopular opinion, but I personally believe that the RPP gains currently are too fast. I understand that a lot of people wish to advance quickly in order to make a name or be active or whatever it is they intend on doing. However, I personally feel that it detracts from those who actually have a life and job, the people who aren't able to rp on a consistent basis. I feel that the check limit in Spires really helped equalize that, as well as slowed down the pace to make it feel a bit more natural.
I'm currently in the 180-200 range and I've been qualifying three times a day just on casual healing/teaching rp, which would have taken me at least 3-4 days on Spires if we take the check limit into account. I know this is a new game, and I don't mean to sound like that old person who says you guys have it better than we did. (but you kinda do.)
I think that we should overall just tone back on the 100/75 percent rebirths and try for something a bit more organic. I personally believe the gains are manageable, slightly fast, but I'm not going to advocate for them being lowered as I'd rather not deal with the ire of those who think otherwise. Just my opinion on the matter, as I'd rather see a slower progression and allow the opportunity for those who work jobs and have a day to day life a chance to catch up and be competitive. If naturally flowing progression is 'boring' and you'd rather zoom to the top, then I don't know what to say.
The only advice I'd give is to RP more and stop typing /rpp so often. I do understand others have differing opinions and that's totally fine, I prefaced this by saying mine is likely unpopular. <3
