Yeah it's a big rip off. Just another way the game punishes people who have jobs, families and other responsibilities. For some reason I thought 5.0 would give me a chance to get decent end-game gear, but after seeing how slow it is to gain command experience, and, even worse, what comes out of command crates, I'm so sad. Then they went and changed gold NPCs to be worth 1 CXP from the already ridiculously low 10 CXP.
