Level 50 enemies in all Normal PvE Queues will now reward the equivalent amount of Skill Points of defeating a level 60 version of that enemy.

Is this good or bad?

[Dark]

I think that means it's increased.

Level 50 enemies in all Normal PvE Queues will now reward the equivalent amount of Skill Points of defeating a level 60 version of that enemy.

This makes no sense to me. Higher level enemies should give out more XP because it takes more time to defeat it. This is simple logic.

It's clear that Cryptic knows the leveling to 60 is too slow and it's also clear that they are going about solving it in all the wrong ways.

[Dark]

You have to keep in mind that we are also reduced to level 50 in the level 50 queues.

When reduced to level 50 fighting equivalent level enemies, you get rewarded the same as remaining level 60 fighting equivalent level enemies.

Eh, I dunno. Seems fine to me.
