I've been testing out 1.3 lately because honestly it adds lot's of cool new stuff and among those is the ability too obtain xp through mining ores except gold and iron, but smelting them gives you xp. So does anyone else think that Mojang is making getting xp a little too easy? They also made the highest enchant level 30, that's not hard to get to. I don't see the reason for getting sp so much easier.

Yes i got lvl 20 with stone tools.

It is definitely easier to get xp. In my opinion, that's a good thing. Enchantments don't really have an unbalancing effect on gameplay.

honestly now the enchanting only needs 30 levels to get the best ones and now you canj get 30 levels real fast with the mining xp.
i think this is a good improvement because xp was actually a bit too hard to get.

I think it's fair that people who play on Peaceful can now get XP to enchant their tools. However, I hope that the enchantments that helps with combat (at least good enchants) will be back on lvl 50 later.

That way, things that help with mining - Easier.
Combat - Harder.

AND THUS BALANCE WILL BE RESTORED INTO SURVIAL MODE, Hooray!

I dunno... last time somebody "restored balance" to the Force, he turned out to be Anakin Skywalker.

So... people first complain that xp is hard to get and pointless. Then they complain its too easy? Why aren't people satisfied these days.

I want more enchantments.

Simple.

I think EXP gaining will be a bit easier, but as it is now in the snpashot will probably be nerfed. A lot.

I'm sure Jeb will un-nerf the XP system by a bit, remove the ability to get XP from coal, lower the amount xp you can get from mobs back to normal.

I just want it to be extremely easy for me, and extremely hard for everybody else. Is that too much to ask?

More enchanting!

No, It will be fixed. It can't stand as it is in the snapshot.

I'm glad to see the addition of non-combat oriented methods of obtaining xp, and I'm sure that the actual amounts dropped will be adjusted before the actual release.

who plays on peacefull XD And i think its overpowered..not much need for a xp farm...

I think that balancing the enchanting system is a work in progress. Hopefully in the next snapshots the balance will be adjusted to more peoples liking. Given that levelling is now linear, they either need to make the jump between levels huge (say 50-80 XP points per level) OR greatly increase the maximum enchanting level (say 125-250).

You just won the most selfish comment ever reward.
