All:
Alrighty folks - Sony's thrown down the glove. This line is in the patch message for 9-21-05.
"- Adjusted the experience reward for some of the monster missions to be more in line with the time it is taking to complete them."
So, please post your resulting experience in this thread from monster missions so we know which ones have been uber-nerfed and which ones are only kinda nerfed. Please include: The zone, quest giver, and quest name, your level, class and race (to take exp penalties into account), your actual experience, and whether this is real experience or AA experience.
For a comparison, here's what I was getting pre-patch.
West Commlands, Kathi Norman, "A Griffon's Plight", L67, Iksar, Necromancer: 6.5% real xp, 1.1 AAs
Lavastorm Mountains, A Weary Traveler, "Defending the Lair", L67, Iksar, Necromancer: 6.5% real xp, 1.1 AAs
