    While surplus does go to extremes if you do as a player go to extremes. It is the same system. Rested XP is a Negative Status that is given as a way to encourage people to stop playing for a while to spread out their game play over an amount of time. They both do the same thing, Surplus was just Advertised wrong.

    It doesn't matter if you get

    2 XP Normal + 1 XP Rested.

    Or 4 XP Normal - 1 XP Fatigued,

    The end result is you still get 3 XP.

    I have to thank Square-Enix for the amazing job they have done recreating Final Fantasy XIV from Scratch. Especially the inclusion of Missing Genders which we petitioned for in good faith. This was proof to us players that the Developers are truly Sympathetic to our requests and that being honest and vocal can pay off with the amazing characters we have who are Female Roegadyn, Male Miqote, and Female Highlanders. Thank You SE, Thank You Community Team, Thank You Yoshi-P.

    Its actually a foolish idea either way. Im all for exp rings and guardians favor, because anyone can use it. But log off get more exp just seems like a cheesy marketing ploy
    and the inverse was.... well.... a very very bad marketing ploy
