Double EXP periods. {Can I have it?}

[Kalsic]

Leveling in this game is already way too fast. Double exp periods would be a joke.

Is there any way to /sign against this idea? It's not only completely unecessary given how fast you level up in this game (especially since 50 is the cap), but as others are pointing out, it makes people feel obligated to play during those time periods... and if these happen at all frequently enough people will start to depend on them to level and feel like time spent leveling outside those times is pointless. I can see the forum threads now "Double EXP weekend? Can I haz it?"

Oh man, So glad we all agree the level speed in 2.0 is too fast!

Oh wait...

If that's the case... I would rather them fix the leveling speed, rather then cause people to become dependent on double exp weekends to feel as though they're making decent progress.

What "other" mmos have you been playing? WoW you can go 1-85 in a 3-4 days. the new TERA you can go 1-60 in 3 days. Im sure FFXIV is faster than XI and other J/Kmmo, but not too many people even care about those other j/kmmo. they suck.

New players aren't going to skyrocket to 50 in 3-4 without PL or a group of like-level players. Please, make a knew character then go solo a class to 50, then come back and tell us how long it took you. You really wouldnt even go that fast with a like-level group, only with a PL.

FFXI is the fastest MMO to hit cap currently if you know the right people or have the gil. The problem with all these fast leveling system is this is exactly what's killing off MMORPGs, you get to cap then bumrush the content...

Then what's left? No developer in existence can release content to keep people happy when you can blow through everything the same day.

OMG! Really! Why do some people want everything given to them ?

There, know the right people and have the gil. My response was to a person that thinks a New Player can level a class from 1-50 in a few days of Casual play. New players have no gil and most likely dont know anyone. You cant level 1-50 fresh off the boat in a few days of casual play. Probably not even a week of 24/7 play.

If anyone can do it, please make a new char and provide some video and I will back down. Then a gain, you wouldnt have to go through a learning curve a real new player would have to go through.

We have rest bonus, no need for double EXP weekend... Rest bonus is the roght way of doing things for casuals! Can't play during the week and don't play much in general? There double EXP for a bit.

But double EXP weekend on top of that, wtf? The whole weekend? That's way too much.

These promotional bonuses don't all have to be EXP bonuses.

I'm not sure why people think this would be game breaking. It would increase traffic (buyers for my crafted items) on the weekends.

If a casual gets to 50, does a chocobo lose its wings?
