I have no idea what the exp boost rate is.

But I'm not really a social leveler I play odd times and vary with the length of time I can play.

The way the rings of mara work is like WoW recruit a friend right(need to have both players online to get the bonus exp)?

Maybe for those who don't/can't do this maybe let us use the rings on ourselves but at a 1/4 or 1/2 of the exp if you used it on a friend?

So you want to uhh.....bond...with yourself?

I would be fine with this considering I don't have any friends that will be joining ESO on PC.

So the rings for me are just garbage at the moment.

hermaphrodite + monogamist = 'blaze streak' ^^

I wouldn't mind seeing the Ring have an alternate use that isn't dependent on another player. I've known plenty of players who play on erratic schedules, or have a lifestyle that frequently requires bursts of short play periods (play for an hour, go put out a fire, play for two hours, take a test online for a class, et cetera).

Maybe something like a 'broken heart' option, where you get 5% to all skill experience instead of 10% character level experience when paired up.
