wow... rested experience just wow...

It amazes me every time I read this forum how so much of this community wants to sabotage this game.
Here's a newsflash for you. XI HD will never happen, if it did it would not succeed. There are people who play less than 12 hours a day, there's people who can play 2 hours a day or only on the weekends. They need rested exp.
Instead of supporting ideas like this that will attract wider diversity of users you guys shut it down. You cant compromise cant you? Instead it's "I want XI HD cuz it's gonna make tons of money if they redid it!" No it wont, nothing with "the glory days XI" will attract more than 100k subs.
This game needs another million players if you have any hope for a expansive endgame and content flowing. They need to cater to people who can play 2h a day first because those will be the majority. Not the 12k of players we got now.
All I'm saying is, think logically about this situation.

Could not agree more.

I also find it fascinating that the people making the point "I play 8 hours a day and it's unfair that people playing 1 hour a day gets a bonus" almost all seem to miss the point. I completely agree that it's unfair, but what is unfair is that you have time to play the game 8 hours a day and I only have time to play 1 hour.

You lost me here.

How exactly is it "unfair" that someone else has more time to play than you?

So, by your logic, if I only work 1 hour a day I should have my wage inflated so I bring home as much as you do in an 8 hour day?
...can I come work in your world?

Actually, by her logic, the person who works one hour a day works a position/time that is largely unwanted, and gets a higher wage. However, given that she only works one hour a day, she will still net far, far less money than your eight hour brethren.

This world is called 'real life', and yes, it sucks as much as you think it does.

Why the individual in the unwanted position paid a higher wage? Your example seems analogous to an overnight shift differential. I would interpret that more as waking up at 3:17 am to camp Fafnir windows. Then you're reaping increased rewards.

I often frolic in this real world... working full time, going to school full time, and maintaining a family. I am definitely a casual player if you look at only my time availability; and I really enjoy accessing the difficult to obtain rewards. However, I understand that MMOs are just a time sink. All of the attainable goals within them are dependent on how much time & repetition you pour in. If people are willing and/or able to put in more time (for a game) then more power to them. They should be rewarded more for putting more time in.

I do not feel that my performance should be artificially inflated simply because I put less time in.

I heard the rested xp bonus means, you log in, kill one monster and hit level 50. It never runs out and gives you three times experience per kill (except you only need to kill one thing to hit level 50). Also if you play 8 hours a day, you don't get the rested bonus... uh just because you don't!

If you play 1 hour a day your rested xp bonus lasts forever and if you play 10 minutes a week, your rested exp never runs up for any class doh/l dow/m and it only takes you 1 synth or kill to ding 50! This is how it will work!!

But you forgot that it all works A-OK if you have to wait 36 hours to get the bonus to get to 50 with one kill when you log back in.

Also, bonus-xp tastes like pineapple.
