I remember top ofi had some easy way for candies, i gues credit mall, cause i know i used it. Anyway, i think hexa is great, let's open it in 2 years or so? I mean it is just silly, it take away most of the hardship of leveling, up to the point where it is just not efficient to level up anymore till some point and better wait for hexa. Tbh this just feels like a cheat button. Obviously it was designed that way, so people work together, especially party one, but hahahahaha, anyone could just have this party by himself in the end.
So please, no, it would litterally make no sense. Editing exp is even worse, imo it is just not a thing to do untill later on. Was it even a thing at 1.33? at server where i played it just didn't exist, i joined tales of pirates after i quit my original one, so it was years already after release.
As for "commented out", There are so much funny quests like that right? Especially the one with 200k rep exchange XD.
