I was told to ask on the forums. I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to put this, but here goes. As a free to play character, will I have the best possible learning rates via the simucoin experience passes, or will a subscriber always learn better even when I purchase the passes? Is the difference marginal, or is it noticeable?

Subscriber will always have better exp absorption assuming similar stats and ranks. (not considering RPA's)

The exp booster does bring the absorption rate to what feels like about 80% of subscriber rates. In my opinion the difference is marginal but it is noticeable if you are running both F2P and Subs.

I use the 30 day Brain Boost token's on my F2P accounts. Wish the tokens brought them up to 100% sub level but I understand why they don't.

Hm, I remember reading that the pass brings it up to the paid exp rate. I purchased passes myself with that understanding. Epedia just calls it a "subscriber-like" learning rate, which has some vague wiggle room. Heck if I wanna fish through the forums for posts from that time, though, since I don't remember who or where I would have seen it.

Right from the release post it was always clear that the exp booster was close, but not quite fully subscriber levels. Even the simucoin store page states this clearly.
