Dev Note: While planning future content, and
looking at a post where someone reasonably
confused hidden exp thresholds with a bug, exp
changes were made.

Early levels are easier to obtain, later levels
are harder to obtain, softcap exp thresholds
have been removed entirely, and each level now
gives more stats.
