Double EXP Campaign

[Ziyyigo-Tipyigo]

Since my post is to get rid of double weekend and make it double skill up weekend if anything, how do you make a jump to a conclusion I would want to afk xp?

Emphasis mine:

NEVER AGAIN!!!!! I could not even xp last night in Bostauniex Oubliette or La thiene

1. I state that I am disatisfied (sic) with double xp, something an afk'r would not say because thier (sic) purpose is to get as much xp as possible while being afk as they are paying 500k on a time limit.

You stated you couldn't take advantage of double EXP because the two(!) areas you checked were "full."

Hell, did you even consider so much as changing floors in the Oubliette? Not all monsters are covered by the book, you know...

2. I stated it should be a skill up weekend. which is clear something a person leveling up all 99s would say since the fact is, you are going for all weapon skills on all weapons, not just one weapon like an afk person would want to do.

You may be going for "all weapon skills on all weapons," but I finished that months ago (at least as far as my WAR is concerned, absent /RNG). More significantly, I did most of that not in Bostaunieux Oubliette or La Theine Plateau (or even Abyssea - La Theine), but in Bibiki Bay, taking advantage of Kupowers and skill-up foods.

Once again, this is something you could have done in the time it took you to write your little rant. And you wouldn't be stuck in the position of trying to retroactively deny something.

So there you have it a simplified version of where your possibly undevloped (sic) brain as a child might have taken my post the wrong way.

Aside from saying what you mean and meaning what you say, you might also want to make sure that what you say is spelled correctly, especially when accusing someone of being intellectually feeble.

It's 2013: how could you not be using a web browser with a built-in spell-checker?

The post is about overcrowding during events such as double xp, instead of something thats (sic) far more useful in my opinion such as skill ups. Do you kinda understand that better now?

Your post was about overcrowding in 2 areas out of nearly 100 available, filled by people doing an activity that isn't even meaningfully enhanced by the doubling of EXP. The only way your rant would make sense if you were angry because you were trying to do the same thing they were (which is effectively exactly what you said).

Really? Seriously..... You need a job man. Get off of welfare and find something more constructive.

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.

Wait wait wait... Your complaints are about a GoV party, which is basically not even effected by Double XP at all, and an Abyssea party, which is again, not effected by Double XP, at all. Now, if you were trying to solo or even do a small party in Bost and there were many others camping over you, that would be a different story as you would be getting the effect but were over ran with other people. Using Abyssea as an excuse is terrible though as it does not even effect Abyssea, unless you mean people were paying 500k to leech their jobs in a xp party out killing sheep and bunnies, then Imma just say your full of it.

Plain and simple, your complaint about this event actually has no basis at all, because neither of the things you brought up are even relevant to the Double XP event in any real way, if they were crowded, maybe its because the Double XP did not do a good enough job of getting them away from FCs, Abyssea, and GoV.

You make a good Point Demon, if these areas were not affected by double xp weekend, then why was so many people trying to overpack them, I havent see that much turnout in months.

Strange...

Probably more people who did not read into the info enough to know Abyssea and GoV were not effected, rushing for a quick level up for the weekend not knowing what they were after did not actually exist or work the way they had thought.

Hello!

I just wanted to offer some feedback from this event. FANTASTIC IDEA! Please do this again! I had a level 16 Dragoon I had been wanting to level for a while, but didn't want to head to Gusgen mines for hours on end to do it. There were several shouts for old school six person xp parties in places like the dunes and Qufim island, and so I joined a group in Qufim after I was around level 20.

It was SO MUCH FUN. We formed a somewhat balanced group of DDs, healers and support jobs, and the rate at which we were gaining experience points made us feel as though we weren't missing out by taking advantage of grounds of valor. The group not only stuck together for quite some time, but we adventured into Lower Delkfutt's Tower, and were getting ready to go to Kazahm when I had to leave.

Please consider making this a more regular event, or even a super kupower as it was the most fun I have had in an XP party in years!

My only complaint is that you level up too fast to stay in one place for very long. I ended up shuffling through two jobs last night to use as a level sync target, just to keep from having to figure out where to go next and how to get there.

There's no reason not to let people have double EXP if they want it. Just because *you* don't want it isn't a reason not to have it. I agree it should have also included skill ups but not instead of the EXP.

I can agree that we shouldnt get rid of double xp weekend all together, just that some things need to be addressed to fix it on the top end to make it more satisfactory. One way would be to maybe start by not allowing low lvl players into abyssea who pay 500k for pl. They took away selling abyssea gear selling to merchants because of the amount of easy gil you make, but why not put an end to easy gil people make off power leveling while were at it. We had around 8 people who wanted to xp at worms while about that many were afk in the worm party getting a power lvl. That does tend to be a load of crap if you ask me when honest players want to enjoy an event weekend at worms only to have gil sellers and exploiters take over one of thier main area of enjoyment.

As far as Bost. Obu., I dont know if there was anything you can really do about someone who starts a second alliance on top of another one, but shows there was double demand for xp in that area. I guess this would have to be solved by someone actually finding another camp like Bost. Obu. and be able to actually get people to go to it instead, which would be one great feat in of itself. So nothing you can do there but be unsatisfied with two alliances fighting over mobs for crappy xp, defeating the purpose of the event.


Most of what I state is just at the top end xp, and explains the problems I'm seeing there, that affect me personaly and my satifaction of xping on double xp weekend. Does that mean take a hatchet to the weekend and ruin it for all lower lvl players, no... just that it needs some thinking. Since all my jobs are 75+ these problems affect me since its not just xp im after, its also skills while xping which makes these camps so sought after. As far as lower lvl parties go and lvl syncs, they deserve to have some double xp in my eyes and understand where they come from.

This.

Also, there are tons of areas where you could kill mobs for enough EXP for the event to be worthwhile. Why would you choose an already popular and crowded place to EXP when you know there's an event attempting to create an incentive to EXP? Obviously its going to be more crowded than usual
