So am I to assume you were lying to us here? you want us to THINK we are leveing quickly, but if we actually level quickly you have a problem with it? Is that the case? what exactly do you consider an acceptable form of quickly leveling in preparation for the expansion?
Sorry. Black or White logical fallacy. The gameplay math and logic behind leveling from 1-50 in one day and doing it faster in a few weekends or a month is pretty clear to most people. Your argument does not hold chemical wet stuff.

Oh, and I wish I had the time to level my nth alt but I have a life outside of the game that includes a job (something I'll bet you don't have a clue about).
I lol'd. I'd still be playing after 50 because I PvP endgame. It's what I do. That's all I care about. PvP and nothing more.

Far faster even than the intent of double experience.

Us making this change had nothing at all to do with players making posts or threads about their unhappiness of using this leveling method. We are making this change is it was an unintended part of the design.

Furthermore, a lot of these posts and threads have been bordering very close on what we will allow in regards to attacking other players and their opinions. Remember, continue to remain respectful towards eachother regardless of differing opinions.

I understand the reasoning behind not taking action against those those accounts the benefited from this unintended game mechanic during the first double xp weekend. What is the official stance regarding those who chose to flaunt their disregard by continuing to use this unintended game mechanic to obtain an unfair advantage in game AFTER it was made clear that it was NOT working as intended?

I got to add I did not use this at all , I have so far one 50 one 40 and one very close to 40 all from the weekend thing and slowed down over the weekend or would have had two at 40 + for next week end ,its never a exploit to me useless they say it is or cheap etc etc ..



But did not use to get mine to the above ..

Let's just throw out the rest of your post, which I'm sure has already been picked apart by the other posters to this thread before me. This single sentence right here cuts to the core issue. Don't care about story? Let me make this as plain for you as I possibly can, since it seems to have somehow eluded you thusfar.

YOU'RE

PLAYING

THE

WRONG

GAME.

To borrow an analogy from one of the posters on page one of the thread, your playing this game and then complaining about it amounts to going into KFC and pitching a fit because you can't get donuts. Period. End of story. Deal with it or ****. BW loudly and repeatedly proclaimed story as the central element and theme of this game from the beginning. Don't like it? Prefer something else?

SEEK

IT

ELSEWHERE
Don't make me get all green perpendicular up in this beeotch.
Yeah.
I said it.

Where does the feelings of entitlement end? At he I-Win button for the game... so you can stop wasting time playing and move on????
I can see your point, but I guess that depends on perspective based on where you are in the game.

There is a difference in getting a short cut to the game and getting a shortcut to wining the game. For many of us the game does not start until fifty, so a boost to 50 cannot be compared to a victory button at 50. That would only apply if someone believed that reaching 50 is the end of the game when it is actually the beginning.

Come back after your third inquisitor story line, or 8th story line over all and let me know if that sarcasm still remains or whether you will then be on our side, LOL. Try seeing things from the "others" perspective so you are better able to debate and issue and not have to resort to veiled sarcastic insults for lack of intellectual banter. ;p

I do not recall them saying that they would take no action against accounts that used this unintended game mechanic to gain an unfair advantage in game AFTER they made it clear that it was not working as intended. This is the reason I am asking for an official statement.
