For those of us who are attempting to minimize our XP gains*, the icons are painful. They send out waves of Giant Love which I've come to consider as Giant Hate. I realize they're trying to be nice to their loyal followers, but it's to the point where I'm considering throwing them in the closet.
I really don't want to do this. a) I worked hard for them and b) I like them and I like the Giant Lore... I don't want to hide that, I want to celebrate it.
But, just walking around my house today, I've gained around 1000xp and loads of mood. Most other XP gains can be minimized by keeping your mood low, which I do. I can accept running around as an angry faced Glitch and the constant "Your mood is getting low." spam in local chat. I can also accept that badges & quests & such are big achievements and with big achievements come greater experience that cannot be controlled by mood. But to not even feel "safe" from XP in my own house?
Can we please turn off the love? Or kindly request that the Giants not love us so painfully?
*XP is broken. There's a greater cost for leveling up then there is a reward. I do not need a greater energy well at this point, and certainly not at the cost of higher tithes & transportation costs.
