You're dodging my question. How would rested exp be any more detrimental to the game than PLing is currently, or Guardian Aspects on Leves? Saying, "Well, I didn't like them either!" doesn't actually explain how rested exp would harm the game innately. Your entire argument against it is based on personal wants: "I don't like," "I don't want," "it should be fair." If you want reasonable discourse, you have to explain, logically, why these added incentives are bad for the game and/or playerbase.

But, for the sake of proper discourse: rested exp does not provide an unfair advantage to the person who doesn't play as much. Why? That person doesn't play as much as you, such that even with the rested exp bonus, they're not likely to level as quickly as you without it. Moreover, rested exp doesn't improve drop rates, or magically net you a faster group. That means you, with your longer playtime, have likely made more connections with other players, and therefore, have a more solid support base for anything you may want or need to get done. Want to find a NM group? Check your friends list for the people you've grouped with. Looking for some mats to level a DoH a bit? Check out with your second LS that you got during that exp grind pt you had two weeks ago. Which says nothing for the actual experience you get (not exp, mind you, as in, learning experience) from playing more often than the one who doesn't log on as much.

For all the 'unfairness' that rested exp bonus may provide the casual player, it doesn't actually play the game for them. It only affords them a boost to close some of the gap between their position and yours. Nothing more, nothing less.

I would see, if its Walmart that had the sale, I would pick the other store. It really depends on what store I favor.
Hence why I said my hypothetical was a bit disingenuous, as there are other factors to be considered. However, all things being equal, an added incentive is an added incentive, and while you may personally have enough brand loyalty to ignore the extra money you're losing by paying more, especially in a world like today, you're very much in the minority.

(Having said that, screw Walmart.)
