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

[Xenor]

There are two kinds of people who play FFXIV:

• Those who play 24/7.
• Those who aren't logged in 24/7.

The people who are logged in 24/7 at the cost of friends, family, and regular exercise are really mad that the people who see the sun at least once a week will get experience a little faster to make up for the 8 hours of sleep and 40 hours of having a job and however many hours of having a social life that they're out of the game.

But don't worry, 24/7 crowd! You'll still get more overall experience! Rested experience might narrow the gap ever-so-slightly, but it'll never let people who do things other than play FFXIV 24/7 catch up to you!

Admittedly I play too much and I'd like to see the grind a bit easier so I can play less. But I don't think giving people things for free is the best route. Why not just shave 10 or 20% off the TNR numbers? That way you're still working for every SP but everyone benefits.

I'm not really sure what you mean by that. But either way, I disagree, as the player will NOT be getting anymore SP while they are absent from the game for an extended period of time. It really isn't 'free' exp if they still need to go out and kill monsters in order to get that extra SP. Just think of the bonus SP as an extended version of Guardian's Aspect without having to be doing a leve.

Eventually, the person who played non-stop (or brief stops) will still be ahead of the person who went absent, no matter how much extra SP they have. They merely have a timed boon towards their gain, nothing more. It won't be just plunked right into their amount, but merely a buff. So it's not free. Free is when the character does nothing, and they still get SP, like 1 SP per day they're not logged in. THAT I do not want. From what I'm getting, they're merely placing it as a buff, so instead of earning 300SP from a kill, for a limited time depending on how long you were absent, you get 500-600SP.
