Opt-out of DOUBLE XP

Logic is a lie, there are only typos; Through typos, I'm misunderstood; Through misunderstanding, I loose connections; Through the loss of connections, I Ioose relevance; Through loss of relevance, I am released from my contract.

The force shall set me free. I become a hobo?

I think most of us will accede to the fact not all MMO'ers are breast-feeding bottom dwellers, just the ones who britch and cromplain about every little thing.

Does anyone take anyone else on these forums seriously? Because, they really shouldn't. We're all ... every one of us ... little yappy dogs.

If you don't like Double Experience, try something different. Roll a character class whose story you haven't seen yet, on a faction whose planets you have seen. Then just do the class stories and supplement with very little flash points or GSF or PvP or whatever else just to keep on par with your class story level. You might find the process enjoyable.

There is one thing only that I want changed/added to swtor and that is the ability to not be participate in double xp when I log in. Double xp is not a minor 6% xp boost. It actually turns swtor into the cliffs notes version. swtor is about the story which is then lost when you find yourself at max level in a day or 2 as opposed to a month.

Why not give everyone a fully geared 55 character and let them have fun? So many people will fight against the very idea of letting anyone opt out as if that were some horrible thing. I am not opposed to double xp events. I actually think it is a wonderful thing for the players and swtor. I just don't want to be made to take part in it if I want to play. In every other event in swtor I can opt out if I want. I don't have to do the bounty week or visit the gree enclave, but with double xp there is no escape.

If someone wants to opt out of double xp while everyone else is enjoying it there is no need to ridicule that person and petition to have him banned from swtor and claim he is ruining it for everyone else.

Just thought I would throw this out in case any trolls are hungry.........

For me Its always been a little too easy to level in this game. For me Keeping pace with what I am doing is more important, and for some of us, as soon as you have your first 50(55 now) getting to that "goal" don't really seem like such a big deal.

With reg xp, rested bonus,xp buffs and double xp weekends it starts to feel like leveling is pointless and everyone should just start at 55. Whats the point of leveling at all when there is less and less Challenge to it? It can be very frustrating to out-level what you are doing so fast, and it has to be annoying as heck for new people, out leveling the content, then much slower leveling come Monday.

Xp isn't the only reward in the game, it would be great if there was an option to not do double xp, or even to turn off your leveling all together, (Behsten/Slahtz anyone?).

FYI:
"Yes, we all know what Alt/f4 is" ,
"Not playing (no xp) doesn't solve the problem of wanting less xp,"
"I like to play on the weekend"
"My 55's are boring"
"If you don't understand why some people don't want to level so fast, then re-read this post"
"Yes I use to be a nube, so I do get why leveling fast can be important"

That is exactly how I level without double XP. By running class quests, one FP a day (sometimes none), no planet quests (after capital world), no side quests, no GSF, no space PVE, no PVP and no XP boosts whatsoever. I hover around the mission level +/-1. Class quests are more fun and even slightly challenging when you are the right level for them. Double XP breaks that. There is no way to level during double XP without over levelling.

Some of us actually like the levelling process and don't want to faceroll the content. The only option for those people during double XP is to play another game or a max level character until it ends. Adding an opt out would not disrupt your game play but double XP most definitely does disrupt my game play.
