That name Experience Points must have been decided upon by a bunch of engineers and definitely not marketing. And then the abbreviation: XP... sounds more like EXPIRY Points to me than Experience Points. Because those points do actually expire, as soon as you upgrade to a higher level you start from scratch.
just a couple of other things I noticed:
- They spent 15 M € on IT systems... they currently have a points system, so all they need to do is change the rules engine. Why does that cost 15 M € ?
- the launch date of the new program is April 1st, which is April fools day.
