What is your suggestion?:introduction of Variable xp rates for group Ironman similar to recent update. Is this in OSRS?:No. Has this suggestion been accepted already?: Not for group Ironman How would this benefit Alora?: Would create a consistency across all Ironman game modes. And encourage more players to participate in group Ironman (players previously deterred by lower xp rates).

With the current xp rates I have not been inclined to try out GIM with my limited play time opting for regular Ironman. This introduction would be a welcome one.

To avoid xp rates varied within one group xp rates. A group would be locked to a specific rate meaning all members would need to be at same rate. Only thing to work in would be how existing groups could opt to change rates. An option for this could be a need for a vote to be cast by each member once the rate change is initiated prior to it been authorized.

Please give feedback! I would love to play GIM but likely wouldn’t at current rates due to limited time to play.

No support, to much work to keep highscores fair with different rates.

It will be done at some point, but we're trying to figure out how to incorporate it into the modes that have players partnered up, which are GIM, EIM and HCGIM.

For example should we allow players with different experience rates to team up, what happens if someone wants to transfer to a different experience rate and other concerns like that.

@Fopaanz They worked the new variable rates into the hiscorces, it would work the same for group Ironman if I’m not mistaken?
@H Love to hear it. Personally, with the main appeal of a group Ironman is the sense of shared progression, both in gear and stats. With that I think it would make the most sense for groups to be bound to the same xp rate. With that the thing to figure out would be how to deal with players changing groups and groups changing xp rates.
