Re-read the quote you posted and my post.

From Musco "First, we are not considering this an exploit "

What I said "bioware said they aren't considering it an exploit."

So, again, how does that change anything that I stated?

Honestly, while not an active exploit, powerleveling on the scale that Ilum allowed was a bit much, Being oped all the way through playing out stories just make them boring and lacking in both challenge and xp. The double xp on it's own is plenty to maintain said challenge while leveling through class story and still get xp and a few extra levels while doing it. While it may not have been an exploit in the technical terms, it was still taking the quick and easy way out to get quantity over quality of play. In short, good for BW for taking the initiative on this, I can live with a short break and a quick shower anyway before double xp sucks my brain into the comp for the next 48 hours.

whether intentional or not, I find that very funny. I believe the whole issue revolves around things really not going as planned

2 million players ≠ 2 million subs. This game lost over 75% of their subs throughout last year. 2 million players... and the subscribers are probably the minority.

Entirely subjective. My fun is not your fun. My fun in this case does not effect your fun. Its like saying your religion is the only proper one, or your sexuality, or your nationality, or your taste in ****, or taste in ice cream. How could anyone possibly like cookie dough, chocolate is where the fun is at!
