Double EXP Campaign

[Ziyyigo-Tipyigo]

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.

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.

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.

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?

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 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.

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

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.

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 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.

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...

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.

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.
