>>106996343That's a lack of awareness, really. Exp gain increases in steps. Exp needed increases exponentially. Related curve is adjusted for that.
You might think "lvl 50 doesn't look that bad"
But remember, compare that to lvl30. It's actually an insane difference.
You're just asleep if you wake up only at lvl 70. It's already fucked and it's just getting more fucked. Our monkey brain is tricked by the fact that the same shape you see for the whole curve exists on all levels.
A curve to lvl 70 would look just as bad if you adjusted it.
