    SOoooo o I guess I'll just NOT play when double XP isn't on ?

    Why would anyone play when double xp isn't happening? If it's going to be like this every release, I'll just schedule my time to NOT play the last 2 to 3 weeks of the month,

    Thought double xp was supposed to be a rare, "on special occasions " kinda thing, not a monthly event ?

    now I feel kinda dumb for playing the game, when double xp wasn't on, shoot!

    I hear ya! Double xp for this month, however, is a reward for reaching 90k during the last livestream. I don't think it's a monthly thing (but you never know).

    So, instead of playing the game, getting normal XP and maybe having some fun, you'll just get nothing. Great logic.

    They have to do double XP every release, since the nerfs every month are the equivalent of stealing ten levels worth of XP from you.

    Hmmm. I do see the OPs point, and criticism here is still allowed I think?

    At the moment the trend is 50% of live time is double and the other 50% single, given we have major monthly updates and recently each is accompanied by 2 weeks of double exp boost.

    The Devs have said they're considering making this exp boost the new baseline. Maybe they ought to make their minds up?

    The OP has a point; my 'friends' list is rather full on each release and generally seems to wither greatly come the end of each double exp period until the next. For me either stick in runes to gate to or increase the overall exp rate to ensure you've friends to port to, I dislike the run round the map feature and don't enjoy the ambiance etc. of having to waste time dodging encounters that force me to move even slower off the path to avoid them.

    In double exp I ground out the exp as fast as possible, during the times I played during normal rates on R53 I did the three path quests which were mind numbingly awful and that's being kind, as slick they were not compared to other MMO's.

    You also get the people signing in to check out the new release while it is fresh, for a sort of double hit. Maybe when Double XP is earned, granted, etc... we put it on the back end of the release when populations are flagging.

    Double xp may not be every month but so far.. 3 out of 3 since release. It does encourage the play only when double xp is on, however Im please for the crafters that this time round it includes crafting xp

    I enjoy the double xp when it happens, but if this is the result (people not playing when we don't have double xp), I think it's best to do away with it altogether.

    If you only play the game to grind the XP and nothing else, then sure... there is less incentive to login outside the double xp days.

    That's the legitimate play style as people got other things to do with life as well. As long as they enjoy playing the game, then it's all good.

    Do what you want to do, that is your own power to do so, BUT, if you want to take it away from others that that like it, well then, you want to hinder others freedom, and I dont see why someone should respect your freedom when you will not respect theirs.

    I like this idea, make the double xp be the last part of the month instead of the first when people are logging in anyway to check the release out.
