    Can I get to 5000 ego by just playing the campaign over and over?

    Pursuits are boring. Is it humanly possible to play the campaign over and over again and get to ego 5000.

    Not even remotely.

    You must do pursuits, level weapons and vehicles and max out your ego grid if you want to hit 5000

    Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured?

    Exactly. There is a cap on how high your ego can level without doing pursuits or lvling most weapon/vehicle skills. I am sure Arsenic can correct me if I am wrong but I beleive it is around 2500.

    Most likely. Just like I would eventually have to TRY getting gold on all the dumb races.

    You would need to max out your experience EGO levels (you will stop receiving experience points at some point), Level ALL your weapon/vehicle skills to 20 and complete most of your pursuits.

    I can speak from experience -- I have all my vehicle skills maxed, and most of my weapon skills maxed (only left with BMG (12), Rocket Launcher (8) and Infector (19).) Most of my PVP pursuits still need to be done and all I need is like 200 Echelon rep to complete my EGO Master pursuit. Currently at EGO 4817.

    I am sorry but there is something fundamentally wrong with that. I can see how doing these pursuits would make it faster, but if I like playing the campaign or arkfalls, I should be able to continue to raise my ego.

    The ego rating is there to show your mastery of the game, not just the ability to grind through enemies and level in the traditional way.

    That being said you cap at 5000 so it would be dumb to try grinding until you achieve it anyway. Most 5k players have quit because they fell that now that they acheived the cap there is NOTHING to do in game. I would rather take my time and just do what I want in game, and NOT care if I achieve mastery or not.
