I got to level 35 with about 20 hours of playtime (majority spent RP'ing though). I wasn't here before but thanks for that perspective, can be kinda annoying having most ranks (the most interesting ones) be level locked and the best option being to spam small ammo kits. I get the server needs to earn money though. I still think adding perks to the manufacturer would be good as the manufacturer experience is kind of a useless system. Even like perks which provide more ammo refills/discounts for crafting would be nice.
