I'm sure this has already been posted, but I haven't seen it.
We can kill mobs, collect skill points and level up. Which is cool and fun to do, but why would you add the ability to gain exp and not tell the players how much they have gained?
Shouldn't there be a way to at least see what level you are? (Like a number on your exp bar that I've seen in pre, pre-1.8 videos) Have I just missed the option for this?
My question is: why even bother to include experience orbs in 1.8 if they currently serve no purpose anyway? Until skills are added in 1.9 the xp orbs are completely arbitrary and in some cases a nuisance (slowing down SMP servers when a player dies). Why not just add the entire system in with the 1.9 update rather than pushing out a useless fraction of it now?

Wouldn't be so useless if I could show off how many levels I got :tongue.gif:

I think it is because notch still isn't full sure what to do with them and is going to watch for popular mods that use the leveling system... (he says he doesn't watch mod but what about pistons and grass?)
