For that 95% of the world the XP got near infinitely easier. Nexon has kept their promise to that 95%.
The other 5% who now are about the same or a little worse don't really matter to Nexon. They're the vocal minority they always go out of their way to disregard and dismiss.

Not that I am arguing about you about that people over 100 are the minority (because i really do believe it) but I doubt it would be 95% due to several factors.
1) Mules, i have several mules, i think i have over 5 right now. As you can guess, all these mules are under 100.
2) People play one main chracacter sometimes. I have two characters that are over 120 that i play most. The rest are just for pqing (which are now useless after big bang) and screwing around on. So while it may seem like there are more low level characters, there are a lot of people who have many low level alts and have one high level main they play on.
3) People who quit early. Really, one of the things I believe that the ranking system fails at is that it doesn't take to account the inactivity of characters. If X character was made 3 years ago and quitted at level 35, it will still be in the data and on the rankings to this day (and its mad anoying too when people quit, because a lot of them had good names. Good names are getting hard to come by =/ I've been too lazy to make creative names for my characters now that i resort to doing _______Tig for most of them (the blank is for an attribute, like for my aran i put Frosty in the blank xD)
But with that all said, I agree that Nexon will always catar to the majority (which is in fact the level 100 and lower crowd), and leave the minor group in the dark. Sometimes they will be nice and throw a bone to us veterans who have higher level characters, like giving us minidungeons and higher level maps, but in the end we should just learn to tough it out because lets face it, Nexon doesn't care about us.
