Different strokes for different folks, @Snarky :). I love all the political wrangling and for me I have to play smarter with those ambushes, just having a build that "can take a hit" isn't always enough. Then Redside, and then Blueside in my metric of appreciation 🙂 I've never missed any content in Praetoria by not shutting off XP, though I caveat that with I haven't done all the content on a first run through on one character alone since for me that's not the point of Gold. Anyhoo, just some observations.
