am i the only one who thinks the double xp weekend was a bad idea?

i started playing again after almost a year and started a new empire warrior...
the thing is that i just arrived on balmorra (which is for lvl 15 minimum) being level 23...
which means that the quests are no challenge at all and i'll have to rush through to continue on nar shaddaa
next time you do a double xp weekend give me an option to switch it off please

Personally, I'd like to see double experience weekends become a regular occurrence, say, one weekend a month.

Yeh. It was bad because I will remember how amazing the game actually is during them... :'(

Yes. Yes a thousand times, yes! I'm so tired of the highly vocal minority proclaiming that it's somehow a bad thing that people are leveling too fast to have to do the filler quests that they've already done dozens of times. There is absolutely no reason why you can't just enjoy this game all the same if there's 2x exp. If you really like optional non-storyline filler quests that much then just go do them even if you're overleveled. They're not going anywhere.

I have had to skip several planets on one char because of double exp and great that he became a lvl 50 but with my second character I was kind of annoyed I had to skip everything again because all quests greyed out.

I have nothing against double exp but it should have been optional. Those that did not wanted it for certain characters should have had the ability to turn it off.

I've heard of people getting to 50, or nearly so, in a weekend. I usually get 10-15 levels as I've got stuff to do. But I enjoy the double xp weekends and would like to see more as well.

I will not play ToR again until Double-Exp is back. It made the game fun again. But now its over. Well, time to do a little Star Trek Online.

Why did you have to? You didn't have to skip anything. The only difference it made by being greyed out was that you wouldn't receive any XP, which given your initial complaint is kind of ironic.

How can earning double experience make the game more "fun" than it already is?

It made the quest so totally boring because my companion could kill everything while I was doing nothing because of the serious outlevelling.
Nothing to do with xp. It made the whole planet not worth the time except for class missions or else it became utterly boring and not challenging at all.
Not to mention all the undergeared people in pvp and FP's because their gearing could not keep up with their levelling.

So yes I want it optional for some characters. That won't hurt anyone. So why are you so mad about that suggestion ? It won't bother anyone while double exp for everyone will bother someone. So let's make two sides happy. Optional double exp.
