well, as I play rpgs, I foten notice I can find a golden stat that breaks the game and kills all challange.  Most noticably, there are problems with expereince harvesting where you slaughter millions of weak creatures and never play with a chalange.  I thought one good way one could fix that is that if a enemy is lower than your level, you will face it more rarely and get rapidly less and less experience from them.  Another would to be just not to have creatures give you experience or money and just have you buy better stuff as you beat missions or quests.  Of course, there are probably other ideas and such.  What do you all think?

Guild Wars handles it in a slightly different way.  Alot of creatures that I used to get anywhere from 25-200 XP off of I get 0 XP of of now.  It sucks, but it works.

Yeah, but in GW, if the creatures are less then like 3 levels under you, they won't attack you, unless you strike first.

well, if you killed hundreds of little animals, it just seems to make since there wouldn't be a lot of them still around to come after you.  Of course, I suppose beating the crap out of a dummy is just as much of a work out as hitting a real person...so another way to do it is the more damage you actualy deal compared to your strength and the more you take substantial damage compared to your character's maxum health, the more you improve in those areas...yay realism!
