The game has exponential level growth. The amount of time it takes to go from level 1-250 is like the same as the time it takes to go 298-299...everyone has a breaking point.

Edit: The article specified that he was leveling at about .065% per hour at the end. That's over 1500 hours to go from level 299 to 300.

Per 2 hours even! Makes that 1500 hours

187 days of playing 8 hours a day. That's insane.

Oh damn, that's even worse! Thanks for the correction, I edited my edit 😝

Exponential growth means that you would level up faster and faster at an ever increasing rate.

Perhaps you mean logarithmic growth, where the rate of increase keeps slowing down?

The exp required to level up increases exponentially, not the amount you earn

I see.

No, I dont and if you truly need to be pedantic a logarithmic curve makes even less sense. It's a generally linear experience curve with each level being about 20-30% more than the previous, but the number get exceptionally large after a while. Level requirements aren't scaled based on time required, they're scaled on number of experience points required.
