% Increase Of XP?

How much easier has it gotten exactly? I'm main referring to post-40 XP, though I'm curious about the other levels too.
Comments
They only increased the levels that were shown to be slow. I believe the 30-40 range to be specific and a small section of the 20s. 40+ has a lot of AV arcs which give good bonus xp.
Actually the experience boost was for all levels. Just 13-20 and 36-50 had the biggest boosts.
How much of an increase was there abouts?
For about a 12-13% bonus...
They stole me a level 50 character in pure amount of XP earned.
(If I would have 10 level 50, 10% bonus would be 1 level 50 stolen...it is far more complex than that however, as I have various toons at various level range)
Which is arguably far less bad than a nerf who actually destroy an existing character...which happens on 2 levels 50 and a 37.
I have no idea what is the actual %, just figuring my "lost" in terms of already invested time.

They didn't change the amount of xp needed to level, they changed how much xp is awarded by mobs. I've also noticed that prestige and inf are also increased.
If I remember the patch notes right, all mobs give a little more xp now but the mobs that are 13-20 or 36+ got the largest boost. This is the mob level not your level, so if you are 34 and do a mish with 36 mobs you'll be getting sweet xp.
As for how fast the % rate is I have no idea. I can say I made very noticeable progress on my brute, in about 2 hours I got 2 levels on a small team. My 32 MM gained nearly 8 bars in about an hour later that same day.
I'm going to break with the trend here DrWalnut, and actually answer your question.
The increase varied by level, and by enemy rank. As was stated, 14-20 and 36-50 were increased the most. Also for the most part, minions went up the least and bosses the most. To try to summarize it, I'd say like this (with heavy rounding, understand)
Hot Zones (14-20, 36-50)
Minions +50%
LTs +100%
Bosses +250%
Everything else
Minions +20%
LTs +75%
Bosses +150-175%
Now to show how that's just a rounded number, here are some line examples:
At 47, it goes 50% / 36% / 105%
At 24, it goes 0% / 52% / 128%
At 16, it goes 69% / 156% / 285%
That's almost 4 times as much as before for a level 16 boss.
Here is a pretty good thread with tested data if you want to look for yourself.

Excellent example!!
Is that change actually live?

-Yes.

Yes
Althought I have nothing against this change per say...making the game more casual friendly is always good, but there are some considerations to respect...and they just ignore them.
It is a slap in my face. I lost half my achievements in the past, and got nothing for that. Adds the nerfs on the other half of my characters, and well.
From an achiever point of view, these devs are horrible with all these nerfs & smoothing the XP curve without giving back the xp they stole. (making mobs give twice the xp is the same as stealing half the xp, just a different way of presenting things)
In a few years, when the game is free and you get a level 50 just by typing /autolevel 50, I may retry the game. ATM, I see no reason to; I don't trust them at all on anything, be it nerf, be it achievements, be it accolades, they just are horrible. If you want no levels, don't put them in the game. They destroy each and every "achievements/progression" I ever did in that game, constantly, like a bulldozer. The only thing which would appease me now...would be if I could respect my archtype (from anything to anything, including heroes/villains switch), my primary and my secondary and so on...now, let's talk about have the most casual setting possible. I don't feel like earning something new, why should I? The xp curve will be smoothed in the future and everything will be nerfed again, why should I commit myself to a character if the game can't commit itself on the rules?

Didn't you quit already?

Sure did.
And well...I didn't find a new MMO...yet.
See, once your addicted to MMOs...you need 1. :P And yes, I am negative...but heck, how can I be positive when I feel beaten, beaten, beaten, beaten, strip of all possession, then beaten again? This is pretty much how I feel about the game, especially after seeing the "numbers".
