some progression feedback

Ok just some feedback for progression for Adventure level/Node Levels and Artisan levels

With character adventuring levels i think this need to be sped up a little up to level 10, seeing as the whole node citizenship is lvl 10 requirdment and that when alot of the game opens up it seems i think you need to hit lvl 10 quicker than you currently do probaly somewhere around 20-25% quicker, this will also shift players out of initial choke point spots aka starting spot quicker which will reduce player/server loads around that area. If you still wanna maintain currently level speed to max level you can shift some of these XP requirement your cutting out from lower levels to either hell levels or last 5 levels or so.

In regards with node leveling it seems to be to quick compared to current adventure level i think the idea speed is hitting village node around the time the average player will hit lvl 10 this lines up better with hitting citizen ship and mayor election and all that for more players. Like i did nothing but grind non stop since server came up and all the nodes were lvl 3 by the time i hit lvl 10 so i was above the curve there and still nodes outlevel me.
in regard to mayoral elections too once a node hit lvl 3 there should be 12 hour period to apply for mayor and then 12 hours to vote on it this willl allow for majority of players to participate in it and there should also be a requirement for aplying for mayor imo tied to leveling the node. Like we did nothing but pump levels in hayclona node for example and some random guild that did nothing to progress the node rocked up in time for election and took mayor dispite doing 0 work to progress the node which feels bad for those who worked on the node imo.

Artisian leveling speed i think feels on point with the exception of some profession that require copper to level since that node seems to be non existent (seem to share spawn with granite which one hits so copper never respawns it seems) but other than that profession seem to level quite well in comparison.
Hunting resource should sell for more to vendor too since plants/stone/wood and all that u get 3-5 pieces a node compared to 1 off hunting node (which is rarer too) and they seem to sell for same price to merchant which seems to bad balance wise to vendor pricing.

Under the current implementation, rushing to level 10 is pretty much mandatory. There's currently only a 2 hour voting window after the a node becomes Stage 3 - which does not give most rushing players time to get there in time or be locked out of decided the first mayor for a month.

This could be alleviated by having a 24 hour nomination phase and a 24 hour voting phase, making leveling to 10 easier, or making it take a little longer for nodes to hit level 3 until a significant number of players are level 10.
