Actually i believe gear drops are 2x. But yeah, while i was lvling up it didnt affect me at all- you get loads of money selling stones (yeah not tabs- stones drop straight from mobs

) So you can ahve your shit full blued and all while you lvl

But the main part of the game is cap ofc. BA, Forgotten worlds, to get 11D weapon/gear which help loads. Or like someone else said, you could do traderuns/thieving to get loads of $$ to buy them.
Hell loads of changes have been made to balance the server.
If you like traditional gameplay theres Atomix, but the cap is at 110. I dont know of any server with 70/80 cap & the same shiz as isro
