2 things I cannot understand - xp and tradeskills

[___________Stercoral]

Can somebody try to explain me why:

1) xp for completing a mission is less than what a green mob gives you.

2) why making items (nanocrystals, weapons) cost more than buying them in shops.


I cannot figure why, not at all, not even the beginning of an anwser (and none from FC).

1) Only at low lvl, at higher lvl it's more

3) You can only buy up to ql125 in shop, so after that it's not an option

1) I believe the XP from missions was nerfed at one point. You used to get exp as a reward and you didn't need to kill any mob for xp. It was quicker to run a mission for exp them it was to kill insanly hard mobs for very VERY little exp (the exp a mob gave was increased).

2) Because Funcom is employed by people that don't understand the simple concept of "Buy from players for cheaper then shop prices = lucrative money making skill at the cost of time and IP"

i.e. Funcom is stupid.
