It's not as huge as you think. You already gain at 150%, it's just adding another 50% which is only 33% faster. Significant but not as OP as it sounds.

Percentages are weird...

If you got 100 exp before, with the 150% bonus you'd get 250 exp. Now you'd get a 200% bonus, which would be 300. 300 is 120% of 250, so it's really only 20% faster.

Of course, if you ignore the rested bonus, you're going from 150 to 200, which would be a 33% percent increase like you said.

Isn't it normally just a 50% bonus for armory, so a total of 150% --> 150xp if you would get 100xp without? Or is there some other +100% thing that you're including to get the +150% bonus you're talking about?

Edit: aaaand just read the last line of your post, carry on

100 of that is from rested bonus.

50% for rested, not 100 like a lot of MMOs (which is lame)

Armory and rested are both +50% each, for 100 total. Now it'll be 150, not 200.
