I can point to specific things in the game that support my contention.  It's not vague.  There's tons of posts on these boards that directly stem from this (look to any rest change thread).  If you are not using the daily XP budget that the game is balance on, then you're probably complaining in one or another thread about how rests don't work or how 5e is easy mode or how novas are breaking your game.</blockquote>
