I appreciate the response Tylanater.
Apologies, you are referring to 1x? Certainly not adverse to a slower progression but my understanding was all official servers were 2x? Or are you referring to an unofficial server? I was doing a bit of searching, are these rates on dododex accurate? https://www.dododex.com/rates
Our goal is to ascend, but if a little bit of PvP happens thats ok, but what your suggesting is definitely more what we are looking for as oppose to deal with sweat lords as you would say.
So might be stupid questions as we have only ascended once on our own private server in evolved and our goal is to ascend through the suite of expansions as they come out with the same characters.
Cheers.
