How about giving us bonus xp when we are not logged on

[Physic]

i dont think fatigue ever hit the 0 point in actual release. In beta yes, but in release, i dont think so.

Oh god =( This is a sad day for me ; ; First Jump and now bonus xp -.-

Please Please Please Please Yoshi-P, don't kill this game. I BEG YOU!!

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.

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

It did.

And yeah, nobody's arguing that rested/surplus aren't the same thing (minus the penalty that surplus had at one extreme). But a) they're getting rid of the surplus 0-penalty and b) who cares? If you're really that upset that people who log out from time to time will get slightly higher base EXP than people who play 24/7, well, that's your headache.

no free SP pleaseeee don't kill the game =(

[Viridiana]

Yes, because rested XP would kill this game. . .

We asked Yoshida if there would ever be a system implemented that gives bonus EXP when not logged into the game. He let us know that the release period has not been decided yet but we are going to do it!

Looking foward to more info regarding a possible system like this.

Someone needs to start making a checklist of all the WoW features and those that are also applied to FFXIV.

This is a very rational choice if you want to pick up a bit more of the casual crowd.

Lol "a bit more"

So far it has been casual only.
