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

Except, y'know it'd happen to revive the midgame instead of making it 1-10,10-30, leech 30-99.

I know, that'd be a horrible thing to inflict on new players. Actually not being encouraged to AFK and having to hit buttons and go places to level up, maybe even seeing their combat and magic skills improve.

I don't think it would. New players don't leech from 30-99 anyway. Unless of course someone else is filling their pockets with gil.
