Well apart from having a few level 49 mods and some blue 50 belts and bracers that drop off the mobs , he will suck.

Which is too bad, because the xp gain is awesomely fun.

It's interesting the people that don't like it. I love getting to 50 via the class story. I hate having to do the same terrible side/planet quests to get there or repeatedly run the same FPs over and over. And here's the thing - power leveling to 50 is only one side of the coin, you still have to have the cr to buy the skills. The class quests aren't enough to fund that.

If you want to run all the planetary quests on your way to 50? Have at it. If you want to run the class quest only to 50 and have a means to support the cr need? Have at it. Why are some people so intent on holding back others?

But, without double XP, wouldn't you still be getting XP fast enough that people would do this any time the event runs (double XP or no)? If people are getting to 50 in 10 hours now, doesn't that mean they could have gotten to 50 in 20 hours with normal XP?

Either way, it seems certain this will be nerfed as an exploit in short order. All they have to to shut it down is make the bolster affect only people who are level 45+. They'll probably put a level lock on the Black Hole priority transport thing as well, just for good measure. I'm sure they don't care about people 45+ power leveling on event mobs to 50, but they're not going to leave this working for level 1s.

No. You don't get it and I guess you never will. This isn't about 2x xp weekend although that certainly helps. From what I heard, until the gree even apparently, the fastest anyone was able to level 1-50 was a little over 50 hours.

Does it really matter how quickly other people get to 50?

I honestly don't care and I find it quite odd other people do.

How does this affect YOU in a DIRECT NEGATIVE way? Not how you feel, actually gameplay.

This isn't a credit dupe, this isn't an item dupe. The intent of the double xp weekend was to increase leveling speed. The gree event will be around for 2 out of the 4 double xp weekends.

IMO it's 75/25 that bioware either didn't realize this was going to be an option or they did and didn't care/couldn't figure a way to stop it so they just let it slide cause ya know it's only two weekends and people leveling quickly is kinda the point.

There IS a level lock on the BH transport. It's level 50.

So the lvl 1's level to 16, get their ship then fly to Ilum. What is the purpose of the planet? What did bioware add to half the planet to facilitate the purpose of the planet? Hint: it is the same thing you get buffed with in warzones. What is the purpose of the planet again? Which side of the planet is the gree event located on? Which came first, the purpose of the planet or the gree event?

Is that a statement in favor of or against the discussion at hand?
