Binia and Jedi: Great points.

It reflects badly on TD because it calls the integrity of the "game" into question if people can buy XP and TD "is allowing it". I dont think I really need to explain why this looks shady. I agree its mainly on the seller being a dork but come on...

I have no problem with selling player cards as long as it's made clear that they aren't reusable. Selling XP cards seems unethical to me.

i enter my XP right after my runs..once I am maxed, I stop taking the XP cards

I never thought of that. Can we do that, just politely refuse to take it? While I would never consider selling them or letting someone else use them I have this small stack of cards I really don't need.

I enter them all because even though the extra XPs don't count they still show in your profile.

This way, years later, I can remember how many Runs I did from years to years.

I would love to do this, unfortunately both last year and this year I ended up getting duplicates of one version of a dungeon and missing the other. this year it was behold her majesty combat that I got an extra XP card for and the puzzle side that I am missing. luckily, it didn't cross dungeons (just combat vs puzzle), or it would create a BIG problem my wife who only runs each dungeon once.

Exactly what I do... I enter them all for my records.

I guess I just don't get why it would even mean something to them to bid on it. But then I guess some people just feel that cheating the system is of itself a reward. Sigh.

Ironically, I think this is a GOOD thing precisely because it reveals a major flaw of the Honor system. I hope it is enough to get TD to change up how XP is done....

Maybe put it in immediately after run in the epilogue room.

That's the way it was done back in the day. I don't think it's feasible for TD now to do this because of how much it has grown and how many more Runs are constantly going through. No to mention that the Party size is 10 instead of 8.

People entering XP in the epilogue room was a major source of backup and long lines. I would not want to go back to that. Not sure if there's a compromise somewhere.

Also, if I input codes for the same run and same level of difficulty it's still only showing up once in my history. Is that right? Or am I doing something wrong? If that's correct, then there is no benefit to entering all the codes once you've completed that type of run and difficulty level once.
