[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 9361127, member: 93670"] Start with why so many brought up punishment both times someone said they ignore milestones & use experience in this tghread? I think that d&d would need to be a very different game for it to reverse cleanly. Fate makes for a good example of the reverse because advancement recovery & a few other things are linked to different varieties of milestone that are based on what has been accomplished in game so no amount of deliberate time wasting for minor milestones will eventually add up to a significant or major milestone. When people bring up switching it to experience you wind up with headscratching & confusion ([URL='https://www.reddit.com/r/FATErpg/comments/ecd0ch/experience_system/']like here[/URL]). Perceived Unfairness and catharsis. If someone feels they are being treated unfairly with how experience is awarded it's rare that the incident is so egregious that venting those frustrations in the moment will do anything but blowback. Claiming that someone else is punishing their players or using a mechanic for punishment later allows catharsis without the blowback. Going the other way you have the reverse from the target of that venting since they likely had nothing to do with the original sin. [/QUOTE]
