After lots and lots of reading I've come to the conclusion that quite a bit of stuff requires Imperial Standing Points to do stuff
- Assaults ( the leader needs 50 points, well that is what i read (armband))
- Mog Locker (you use broze pieces to pay for the upkeep, you can also buy B.pieces with Imperial
standing points (20 points = 1 bronze piece) )
- Beseiged ( A certain cost of imperial standing points can grant special effects such as:
regen, refresh and increased meal duration )
- buy items and maps
- other things yet to be determined
Imperial Standing Points closely resemble Conquest Points
These links are very helpful in understand Assault, Imperial Standing Points, and the Mog Locker

so.....
With all that being said and knowing that one cannot just solo the mobs to get a decent amount of imperial standing points
Would anyone wanna get together for about an hour some day and pwn mobs to up the amount of Imperial Standing Points they have?
And if we really want to we can make it a weekly LS event to increase Imperial Standing Points for the multiple assault runs that are planned and individuals ability to keep their mog locker avaiable.

First off, you should have finals every damn week - so that your ass will post more often...
To the topic at hand: I had the benefit of joining two EXP parties in Teh Mire and Mount Zomgzwhatsitcalled this weekend. And here are my thoughts.
ISP is similar to CQ (as Dragonlance mentioned) however, in my personal opinion they do not aggregate the same way (smaller amounts per mob - again, no official testing conducted)
The new zones are THE place to EXP as a higher level. You earn merits like you can't imagine. In my 2.5 hours of EXP'ing this wkend I gained approximately 25.4K EXP - and I only used the ring once. I’m not saying this is a norm or that it will become one, but it is something to keep in mind.
Despite getting that much EXP, I only have ~2.3K ISP
Want ISP? Yeah, getting together weekly to kill crap is a way to do it; however, I would just merripo or EXP in the new zones...
BUT - it is always fun to kill crap as a clan; I'm in!
LoL
