But while you're fighting the shivan for no XP, you could be fighting Hellions. Which are worth XP.
I've fought tens of thousands of Hellions in AP and never once got an inspiration I could sell for 100k to 500k on the market. So while I despise the tutorial I will go thru it every time for that green inspiration.
Xp? Pfft who cares about xp at that level.
