Ilum XP Farm

Have a level 45+ that you're grouped with pick up the heroic. Spawn the 3 golds x6 times > abandon quest - Repeat.

You mentioned "legacy orb strike time til this event is over." I made an assumption that you were talking about new players, silly me, my bad. People that have legacy and still suck....more than likely can't be helped. I'm not talking about tweaking a rotation, I'm talking about the kind of stuff that gets people to quit groups like you mentioned earlier.

Anyhoo, I'm going to agree to disagree. This is nowhere near the level of a credit/item dupe. The purpose of the weekend, and the next 3, count them 1, 2, 3 weekends is to level characters quicker than normal. You have always been able to go to Ilum and get bolstered on the pvp side. You could level faster when the gree event was active last time, the only difference is it would have taken 20 hours instead of 10. Just because you didn't know about it doesn't mean it wasn't happening.

Parting thoughts, how many weeks was the gree event around last time? How much of a negative impact did those weeks have on YOU specifically. As in, how many more groups did you have to quit because people were being extra stupid? How many more terrible players did you encounter out in the game world compared to the weeks previous?

I know the answer to those questions, so do you, and the answers to those questions are why this is NOWHERE near as big of a deal as you want it to be.

You can buy BH priority using CC in ANY level. I'm leveling a jugg level 14, bought my BH pass using CC.

I went to Ilum, Gree area... I had 12k XP, bolster was working at the gree area.
Normal mobs = 260 XP
Elite mob = 1532 XP
*Edit I'm using Major XP boost.

It's not a big deal... Or I'm doing something wrong?

<< You have always been able to go to Ilum and get bolstered on the pvp side. >>

Nope. The pvp side has no bolstering.

in my oppinion theese dbl. xp weekends runis the game experince for new players due to beeing OP to fast and swiff through class missions and normal q's, plus making a fool of others that worked hard for the xp waaay b4 this dbl xp thingies..

this game is the best ive ever done quest and espcially class missions in. the story is gr8, its feeling a bit numb when u can nearly oneshot the semiboss during ur class q's during beeing 3 lvl above normal.

just my oppinion..

'nuff said.

What does this have to do with anything?

The question is, why were people not doing this during the last gree event, before double XP came along? If you can go to Ilum at level 1 and get to 50 in 10 hours WITH double XP, then how come you couldn't go to Ilum at level 1 and get to 50 in 20 hours WITHOUT double XP? Is there something about the double XP weekend and the gree event together that makes it work for level 1s to power level on gree event mobs? Or is this just something that nobody figured out until the double XP weekends came along?

Cause before this weekend, apparently either nobody figured this out, or people figured it out and just didn't bother doing it. The question is why.

They have been doing it, they just didn't make it known that they were doing it. It's caught on now.

So stop doing every quest / playing during Double XP / fight them naked.

yeah i hardly even get that much exp compared to just normal questing.
