XP...What is it good for?

[Angus MacDuff]

Resurrecting an old topic here because so many are at max rank now.  We no longer accumulate XP, although it is still awarded after each fight and even after a long sail.  It would be nice if those who no longer need it for ranking up could find another use for it.  How about giving a player Doubloons to match the amount of XP?  What if we continued to accumulate XP and it can be redeemed for CMs?  I'm thinking as I write this that it would be very interesting if any player, regardless of rank, could redeem XP for doubloons or CMs at any time in their career.  An interesting choice between attaining rank or getting badly needed money.  Would a max rank player become too rich if he could redeem his continually rising XP?

Admiralty XP. Amiralty store items having a price in CMs/doubloons/whatever and in Admiralty XP where it can be applied.

I know in WoW any xp gained while max rank used to increase gold payouts from killing NPCs

that experience number you have gained goes towards the ship you are sailing as well. of course if it is maxed out as well then it is useless at the moment. Dev's have hinted towards something more we can grind for those of us who are max rank.

Or it triggers admiralty chests from time to time with accumulated experience. Like every 10.000 points anew.

Retaking the XP thing:

League of Legends made a wonderfull solution for the leveling on the accounts. Before you would hit level 30 and get stuck there, with the new changes they made leveling something that wouldn't end. This means you can get to level 456465456415645456 and you will still be leveling. Every level you rise up, you get some reward and every 20 levels you get a bigger reward.

We could have something like this in game, of course addapted to a nice XP/Lvl ratio and every X levels a nice reward. 

This would give the XP some use beside opening slots on ships and it can be a nice way to spread special paints and ship notes (Diana)

If your maxed level maybe make your ship learning x2 or something like that.  Than if you have maxed out ship maybe have it go towards other class ships of that rate?  Maybe do a free xp pool you can put towards other ships once you max one out of the class.  Just don't do pay to use like WoT and crap.  Hated that but those are arena type games too.
