Scaling XP systems

 Scaling XP systems I have a love hate relationship with design wise and putting it into my own games. For the XP systems you have it where under this system the level difference between you and your enemy changes how much XP you get; the higher the level the enemy compared to you, the more XP you get.

On one hand you have it where in Pokémon Black and White it was annoying due to the fact that the XP system was already slow in the game, this system mostly works when you can get your hands on higher LV enemies early or have a more consistent way of getting high level enemies early, however in Pokémon that is almost impossible in Black and White with the fact that there isn't a consistent way without RNG manipulation to do this. To be quite honest this is the biggest pain in the butt to get down because of the design and generally speaking you need areas or an area where players can face off against higher level opponents.

On the other hand; in doing so you can make it where players level up too quickly and steam roll over other enemies. So again; a balancing act, it's not the worse system idea but you have to keep things in logical order and see where you're doing a useful idea/ tactic to introduce said concepts but at the same time said ideas can be ignored when the player levels up and levels up too far beyond the original levels of the enemies in the first place.

Often times I only see it being done with the players leveling up too slow and making things far too grindy because of the lack of high level enemies. That again you have to think these things through.

Other factors on this front are cool and I would love to see this idea explored further with maybe even having it where fighting against said enemy type with the weaker typing match up giving an advantage difference for what deals more damage to who. That's just me however.

Psychological manipulation #2 Big numbers

 This is a fine balancing act for players but the goal of the matter is to keep going for the big numbers and keep the big numbers with them getting bigger, and bigger then you get the picture. With this not only having one set of numbers get bigger but having the other numbers get bigger as well. You need some form of system to keep the players wanting the numbers to get bigger. For idle clicker games you use the reset system to get the player coming back; with the MMORPG system you scale down those numbers in updates so you can keep numbers getting bigger or use the shared power system for the players to use. Personally I like using an XP reset system; once the XP hits max for the level, the XP subtracts from the XP cost bringing it down to 0 and as thus allowing that big number of XP to still feel big. Then you might be asking about the player leveling up which there is always the COD reset level system where once the level hits a big enough number you have it where the progress...

Power Creep

 Power creep can be both a good and a bad thing. With power creep you have it where players are being fed more powerful items or cards where they ditch old equipment for the new toys and make it so players will actually use it. On that same note you're trading the learning the items/ understanding how to make oneself more powerful through strats by relying on your given powerful new toys and making players throw them away again once more toys do show up. It's a useful investment strat for card games but does get boring for games where the only thing you have to look forward to is bigger more powerful numbers instead of different strats/ tactics you've never seen or used before with the bigger numbers feeling meaningless. Person experience; with Yu-Gi-Oh playing the rogue format was more fun even if I lost because I wasn't losing to the FTK format and actually scaled down in power with having fun seeing different strats/ tactics, that the limitations that were self impos...

Deck Size matters

 Small decks These kind of games make it where the game is being given a more consistent/ predictable strategy. The outcome being much more predictable but having it where players are dealing with mill and burn strats far too often making them busted. Large decks These kind of games make mill/ burn strats basically useless but have less reliance on consistent drawing what you want; however in a game where search abilities exist with the more search power the more options that open up and remove the down side of having a larger deck becomes.
