With the wide-ranging sandbox approach it made more sense to do things by milestone experience rather than toss up the balancing of later encounters to the gods of the dice, consequence, and more variables than can be responsibly accounted for. Enough happens that you probably could do the entire adventure path with straight up experience points, but some groups that do so will have Very Very Hard™ Boss Fights while others (after I imagine many more sessions) will have an easier go of it.</blockquote>
