Opt-out of DOUBLE XP

I think your idea of a buff that you can dispel is a great idea. That way everyone is happy.

Would have real issues with making the boosts solely purchasable. I've seen it suggested that they should be sold in the cartel market before now. I think having to buy them at all, for credits or CC would be wrong. Because, in the end, it's a popular event, and only a small number of players seem to not enjoy it. It would not be fair to make the majority who do enjoy it suddenly have to pay for it.

Well, I think the event (where the buff is offered for free essentially) could still go on. In other words, I don't think that offering the buff for sale would necessarily mean you could not have the event.

I didn't actually mean that buying the buff meant they should remove the event. I should have been more clear.

My main drive was that it should be a buff that could be dispelled.

Thanks for clarifying. I do think the buff idea would definitely satisfy everyone. Really good idea.

Thanks, appreciate that.

Another side benefit of making it an actual buff....F2P and Preferred could purchase the buff to replace the loss of rested XP.

Because the fact that he was whining and complaining about people who wanted an opt-out pretty much implies that he thought that putting in an opt-out would destroy his game, hence what I said. Try to keep up.

Obviously you do have a problem, otherwise you wouldn't be complaining here.

I was merely asking you why you didn't hold people who agreed with you to the same standard, since by your logic, people who don't want to play the planetary stories over and over again also can "solve the problem easily and for themselves" without 2xp. Where's your outrage at them for "wanting others to solve their problems instead of taking the simplest action to solve them for themselves" (by your logic, of course). You know, the whole not being a hypocrite thing and all...

I have to agree that I like the double xp buff idea as well. There are other ideas that I have heard that I like, but this one seems to have a lot of possibilities. As someone who does not like to get increased or even rested xp this idea really appeals to me, but I can see how it would appeal to many other play styles too.

Thanks for that suggestion

Indeed:
Hood toggle
Chat Bubbles
Sandbox features
Pazaak
Swoop Racing
SGRA
Joystick Controls
CE Vendor Update
Legacy Datacrons
F2P Restrictions

just to name a few. Seems to be plenty of complaining about nothing really important in particular at all over the last two years.

Well then, having the option to toggle it on and off would then allow for even more people to log in during those times as well.

Comments like that only make you look like an ***. Provide verifiable, unbiased proof of how many do or do not want this option, then you have a valid point.

Indeed. This issue has been brought up since the very first Double XP weekend was implemented.

And you no longer get to play the game normally. You see, some people find playing a game in a "normal" manner part of the enjoyment of playing the game. I know it sounds completely strange to people, but some people like eating spinach and others don't. Amazing that humans can also have different likes and dislikes in their entertainment, isn't it?

Ultimately, if Double XP is such a boon to the game and the playerbase, why not simply implement it on a permanent basis. And just to make things easier for those who enjoy these events because it minimizes the grind needed, why not also implement purchasable/unlockable max level toons as well?

Because some people just can't comprehend that not everyone plays the game exactly the way they do, and/or for different reasons. That "I hate doing planetary quests and role-playing through the story, so every other player in the game's history must automatically hate doing them too" kind of thing. And when they finally realize this, it's as if their entire gaming world collapsed around them.

The point of having it as a buff opens up other opportunities in the game. Including the ability to sell the buff outside event times.
