Alright, just to be sure:

Say that, while everyone is in the city or so, you want to go kill monsters and generally experience exhilarating combat in a game where you can swing swords like a boss. You find a boar after literally a minute after walking into the field. After seeing the boar, you have to wait one post before killing it?

Edit: I guess my question is this: What if I'm the type of guy who likes to create 'tryhard' characters that grinds and quests a lot so that he can become closer to beating the game? Putting a 'stopper' on the exp gain would mess that up a bit.
