Nope, I understand. Your post was elaborate and even has metaphors to further elaborate.
You made a statement about food and animals and what happens when you take the food from certain animals.
I asked you a question regarding your post. And you completely dodged it.
If you don't care about it then move on.
Why does the exp buff have to be a bug?
Ever consider that the people who designed AE intended for it to be end game content?
That they may of added the incentive on purpose?
This is a topic for a reason.
Obviously you have a opinion on it otherwise you wouldn't of posted that neat little comparison to animals and food.
Don't you realize how spot on you are with what you posted?
"You see this in nature. When there is a source of food, something comes along to consume it. The population which prefers that excess of food now booms. Then the food source goes away and that population falls away, or moves somewhere else, leaving ripples in the other populations as it goes."
