    I wish I could be online this weekend, but I cant and really I think I will be okay. Double experience is going to create the same problem Abyssea does regarding skillup anyways, so I might as well key whore myself to 75 and whiff my way to 99 anyways. The only anti-abyssea argument people could possibly have is fun, skillup, or ability to play your job, and other than fun, this campaign does what abyssea does. Granted I am nostalgic of the old days at times and would love an old merit style party once in a while.

    I would see what you mean if it weren't for the XP bonus applying to Dynamis. I'm not losing out an any skill ups nor job knowledge by upgrading my relic+2 gear faster.

    You're really becoming an old broken record. Do you really have to keep advocating that you dislike leeching and etc?

    You know what I'm referring to as I've personally seen plenty of your posts here, ffxiah, and on alla. Your rants about leeching and how would you like to return to old style exp is getting old.

    NEVER AGAIN!!!!! I could not even xp last night in Bostauniex Oubliette or La thiene it was so crowded that two alliances were camping on top of each other in Bost. Oub. and La thiene was filled with 500k paying customers who wanted to afk thier characters to max lvl. Horrible idea, so I just decided to craft last night till this maddness is over.

    I suggest if you do any double anything, it should be double skill up weekends, thats whats needed right now.

    In the time it took you to write this, you could have gone literally anywhere else.

    Basically, it sounds like your complaint is that too many other people had the same plans to go AFK as you did. That's a silly plan to begin with, since the EXP per kill on book burns approaches zero, and twice zero is still zero.

    Meanwhile, four players in the mid-20's and LOLgear were getting over 1000 raw EXP from quadav in Rolanberry Fields.

    Actually, thats the exact opposite. I honestly don't care why you made your poorly made excuses for why DXP is bad, but if I leeched up all my jobs to 99, the last thing I would want is Double XP, I would absolutely LOVE Double Skill Ups though, think about it, all my gimp skills like Katana, Ninjutsu, Summoning Magic, things I could never level up on my other jobs would be boosted to skill much faster, so my leeching is made all the better with my swift skill ups catching me up to par.

    Since when did people leech MNK up for JUST H2H? People do it for blue procs. Since when did people leech WAR up for JUST Great Axe, people do it for red procs. Since when did people leech NIN up for JUST Katana, people do it for red procs and yellow procs. This list goes on, and on, people do not skill a single thing, they skill many things on many jobs, some are only one, sure, some only need one though, some are none, if you have a capped out THF, you will basically have a capped out DNC if you leech it up, no skills needed. But never the less a level capped out person, leecher or not, would profit infinitely more from Skill Ups than from XP.

    I guess you are kinda right, but as lvling up all 99s the normal way, I did notice that when you lvl all your jobs to 55 at crawlers nest, you stop getting skills at around level 55, which you then go to Bost. Obu. and can skill up pretty solid up to 200-240 pretty easy, the thing is, two handers after lvling all jobs up to 75, were sitting at around 200, so the skill ups to 240 on scythe as my last weapon is what im working on now to be able to get trials for it have landed me four 99s already from La theine, where I love to xp and get skill ups while doing trials up to 99 on jobs. So thats where the want for double skill ups comes in, anyone lvling up all 99s normally would still want double skill ups. Someone who gets pl up to 99 on all 20 jobs would surley go broke and if they are that lazy to get a pl for 500k a job, odds are, they are only lvling up one job or two which makes skills a non issue. Where as someone who lvls up all 99s normally would need alot of two hander skill ups yet.

    Guess thats the thought process I was going on.

    And as far as double xp weekend, they must not have told people it correctly because it was packed so bad couldnt find a spot in either spots.
