Whats the point of a double xp weekend if it doesnt affect abyssea or gov?

Loss of killspeed wouldn't be made up for by doubled mob EXP alone, not even close.

If you think that isn't true, you've never been in a good GoV group >_>

I've been in some pretty fast book burns. dobling the kill XP absolutely would make up for loss of killspeed. If you're killing stuff worth single digit EXP, you're going too low, as you should be able to kill higher EXP mobs than that very quickly. If not, then you're playing with some pretty terrible DPS.

I just love how the lazy people come and complain about something SE doesn't have to give us at all, I for one am looking forward to it.

GoV burns are just pure laziness, the same as leeching from lv30 in abyssea, I don't see how any of you can take pride in such laziness.

Going by Gusgen, there are I think at most 10 mobs for page 1 within the normal area for level 13ish parties. Say you kill all 10 every 5 minutes, pages cap at about 1300 xp, so average of 2600 xp every 5 minutes. Fight in Dunes, double xp weekend, 50% xp ring, you get 400 xp per kill normally, now it will be around 1k. So long as you can kill 3 mobs in 5 minutes in a dunes party at level 13, you should be able to maintain a higher xp rate in dunes than you could in Gusgen. Thats so long as my math is correct at least.

Now the downfalls, Dunes will expect you to have better gear, rather than Gusgen where you can literally go naked and do ok. Dune also takes more time, and an actual setup, rather than just a bring what you want kind of party where anything works, and you can just pop in at any time without any real work. So even though Dunes may award more xp at that level, and faster leveling, it takes more work and time overall due to what is needed for it to actually be done.

I take no pride in it, however at the same time I will continue to do it. My reason is simple, fun, I want to have fun at level 99, leveling bores me now, used to be nice, not so much anymore, now I prefer level 99 activities. If I want to play SMN, its level 1, for now, I can take it to 99 in 3 days easily, gear it up, and then play with it and have fun. Leveling it in a way that is not 'lazy' would make me hate leveling the job and by the time I finished it up I would no longer really want to play it. I would be 'burnt out' from all of the work needed just to get the job to such a level that my want to play it as I once did would be gone.

An example of this is BLU, I loved BLU when I started it up originally, got it up to level 63 between parties, solo, and duo, after that, I got my AF gear, got it to 70, and then finally went to Abyssea. Now, I hate BLU and never play it, part of which is because of all that time I spent leveling the job which I could have done in less than a week and jumped right into the meat of what the job is for me at the end.

One could even say, playing a Video game is pure laziness in general. I mean one could totally find something better to do.

Right, but if you're being lazy IN your lazy activity, you might as well not be doing it.

that is just pathetic, it truly is. I worked hard to get my jobs I have above 90 to that point, and I didn't burn out on them, if you do burn out on them I think you are honestly playing the wrong game

I get burned out on them because when I actually want to play it, I want to play it. When I saw my friend play BLU, it looked like a good fun job, going through the pain of leveling that job, and getting all of its spells, made me no longer want to play it, it made me hate the job rather than enjoy it. Leveling my BLM to 99 in a week, I enjoyed that job a ton, and still do enjoy it on the occasion I play the job, I never regretted it since I leveled it.

[wildsprite]

BLU is tedious to get spells for anyway, regardless of how you play it, comparing it to a job that buys or quests all of its spells really isnt a good comparison

Some of us enjoy the content the game has to offer a lot more than the level-up experience.
