The insane (double XP) plan to get everyone to 55 fast

So you land on Makeb at 55. Then what's this planet needed for? Gear? No. Comms? Maybe, but then what are dailies for?
Conclusion: Double XP is just a big mess for some of us; brought by demand of tired gamers.

Well looks like Bioware would make a fortune on -xp boosters to decrease levelling speed by 300% based on this posts consensus...

Good news

No need to insult others to make your point. Corrected that for you.

I know it may sound silly to some, but I do think that a consumable XP penalty item would actually have some appeal to some folks. This way those folks would not have to adjust their play to avoid the XP boost...or could enjoy content longer when they do not wish to level.

Thats actually not the way it works.

only the base game xp is doubled. The rest is added afterwards.

so you get this:

200% base game xp
25% From Cartel Market Xp boost
30% From legacy perks for space, WZ, FP, Exploration and story
5% From the guild bonus introduced in update 2.0
10% From the guild bonus introduced in update 2.2 ( up to a max of 10% )

Adding up to 270%
So did you just ignore the link with a quote from a BW employee that is in fact over 300% exp?

I feel the exact opposite. I have 6 55's. I have many other lower alts I would like to get to 50, so I can start the gear grind for them and get them to 55. Honestly, once you hit about 47, the rewards in PVE quests seem to boost you along faster. I will only use the Double XP's for those alts of mine between 25 and 40 where it seems to grind even-though I enjoy the story.

Don't put that on me. I'm ok with an option to turn it off. I'm talking to the people who don't want the weekends for anyone.

Cause I already did that 5 times. I want it faster. I WANT a cartel unlock that makes the double XP permanent.

I played some during the last bonus xp and what it actually did was help get me ready for some of the higher planets such as voss and corellia. By the time I got there I was only a couple of levels higher but enough to help with some of the mobs there.

I'd actually like this to be able to turn off. As I'm trying to collect coms before getting stuck in the less fun 55 PvP queue.

Ah well, to each their own. I'll prolly level a healer Op.
