    Easy ways to get exp :
    • Mining Redstone/Coal
    • Smelting Iron/Gold
    • Voting for EXP bottles
    • Fishing

    From what I've been told by Neofox07 and xchrisx1234, the update had little to no effect.

    Has anyone else noticed if there has been a slight or significant change?

    That is possible. However, natural spawning mobs work different than mobs that spawn from spawners. There will not be near as many and they won't buildup to be in the hundreds.
    Thanks for realizing this, Hunter. A lot of people expect everything to be so easy to achieve. If is isn't easy they instantly complain and want it to be easy.

    I may turn up the mob spawn rates a little more than they are. For now, spawners will remain disabled.

    Mobs spawn much more frequently in the wild now. Every grinder I visited was spawning mobs when it didn't spawn anything before.

    My two grinders are actually spawning again, and at about the same rate that they did before spawning got messed up. I'd say to keep it like this, there are plenty of other ways to get enchanting levels, some easier than spawners.

    Hmm ill have to check again.

    Yes, I agree there are tons more spawning in the wild, but I personally seen very little results in grinders I have. I persoanlly think MA was more than fine to replace grinders. However, people afking at spawners its also just ignorant to let them get into the hundreds as people. Been doing.

    I plan on increasing the spawn rate a little more tonight. Grinders definitely work, though.

    When I think about all the positives from removing spawners I can't hardly justify bringing them back right now. I will admit that I am a little biased towards leaving them disabled. I encourage anyone with reasonable solutions and opinions to comment.

    Err this is just my opinion and not trying to start any arguments. Well i like the idea of how you're trying to bring back grinder, and increasing the spawn rate in normal worlds however i do not think that completely disabling mob spawners at all is a good idea. I do no like this idea because it ruins a lot of the raiding feel in bg. We already have many rules that have been placed in bg and it would lessen the feel of bg. <- i don't think that makes sense but alright. Even though most people use the mob spawners in bg just for the exp, it would be more natural and will bg would be used more. Instead of disabling it, we could lower the mob rates in mob spawners so they would not cause lag on the server and will also bring back grinders abit.

    I understand why you feel it makes raiding more useful. The possibility that you can capture a high quality XP grinder by raiding another faction is always a positive. However, that isn't what BG was created for. It wasn't intended to be a place where factions went and AFKed for hours just to earn XP. Sadly, that is what it was becoming.

    Don't worry, though. We have some large changes in store for BG. It will make PVP factions much more enjoyable. You will have a purpose to raid and, more importantly, you will have a purpose to be a powerful and successful faction. I wont give away all the changes just yet.

    If you were talking to me, I wasn't asking him. Tell me why (blank) is my way of a rhetorical question.

    What is the point of them being enabled in main world with no exp?

    How about you enable xp in the other worlds too then :D? That'll get rid of afk'ers in BG and it'll be used more for raiding. I understand that with a server as large as this, things get bogged down very quickly, but it'd be really nice if the server became more... vanilla. One of the only things that stops me playing here more often is that I can't do things that I could do on other servers. On another server I was able to build a grinder in the end and I could get xp from regular mobs in the main world and stuff, and it was so much fun. Obviously, you don't need to enable the end but It'd be cool if xp was available from all worlds to allow the battleground to become what it was intended to be.
