Double Exp weekends in FFXIV

[Colino]

I'm one of those people that likes going against the grain. so I have to say:

Rested Bonus

Brested onus?

I hope they do slow down leveling up. It's a long way to the top if you want to rock n' roll, or at least it should be.

Pssh. Double xp weekend. How bout something more useful like douple drop rate weekend, or just not go the FPS route and utilize FATE system to do something special that weekend.

Besides everyone is already 50 everything just so they can not deal with the slowed down leveling come 2.0 (And from the looks of peoples opinions... funny, it's still now slow enough).

Rested Bonus.

Meh, it compliments the leveling regardless of what your doing to level, since everything requires you to kill/make/gather X anyways.

Well having a double exp weekend is like taking the lore from the game by pushing real world events into it.
It's not something I'm too fond for, and this kind of stuff is perfect for shooters.

It was boring cause we have exped 1-50 in the same zones again and again. If i take ff11 as comparison it was fun cause we had to change zone, and it was a real travel.

Oh sorry I was talking about games with a leveling component in general, but with respect to FFXIV 1.x yeah I agree that being in the same zone probably added to it being boring.

Another part that made it boring for me is that everything turned into this giant aoe-spam-zerg-feast... with little to no thought in what you were doing. It just doesn't make sense to have virtually all the "fun" battles/encounters only exist once you reach level cap.

That's really what makes any level process boring for me: battles/encounters that are dull, lackluster, and require no thought whatsoever. And this is regardless of the "leveling process"... whether it be old-FFXI-style party-based camping, or WoW-style solo quest-chaining; both require battles/encounters.
