Most of the responses here seem to be in favor of disabling XP gain in some way and doubling Notoriety gain during that period. I, however, hold a different view about how that sort of system might affect things. The way I see it, if everyone suddenly starts gaining notoriety at a faster pace, we will soon end up with a server full of high-ranking individuals and hardly any of those of lower rank for them to give orders to. Further, such a system will undermine all the hard work of players who have spent a lot of time and effort getting to their positions of authority and power. So, in summary, though it may seem like a pain in the rear to gain notoriety the way things are now, it really is best to just leave it as is so that when you do achieve those greater levels of prestige, you can get a higher sense of satisfaction at having achieved them. If people want a system where they can turn off XP gain, and not gain extra Notoriety or other rewards in place of XP, then I don't see a problem with that if that is what they want. Might not be the popular view, but that's my view.
