Turning it into a buff still provides the double XP for the folks that enjoy it (which I would assume would be most folks). It also provides a way for folks to shut it off, and perhaps a way for Bioware to sell it as a CM item down the road.

I think it would be a win all around...with the exception, perhaps of some folks that feel it might be wasted development resources. But I would expect there is that view from a community member or two for almost any change proposed.

51-54s actually get better secondary stat effects than 55s, they use 55 builds, can wear bolster optimized 53 gear, and won't need to face actual 55s.
What we must fight for is to safeguard the existence of the Sith race and the Sith people, the glory of our children and the purity of our blood, the freedom and independence of the Empire, so that we may fulfill the mission allotted us by the Force itself. Everything must be examined from this point of view and used or rejected according to its utility.

I, too, would like to see it as a buff. That way all my characters can get it and then use it as they see fit, not just the weekend or timeframe BioWare wants it to run. Plus the 7 people who remind us so much of that CapitalOne commercial can click it off.

But that's probably also why it's not a buff. BioWare wants it to end at a specific time, not last for a duration of logged in time regardless how much calendar time the character remains logged out. They do not seem to have tech in place to remove a buff if it's after a specific time.

I really really don't like double xp. I can't seem to emphasize that enough. It is the ONLY thing about swtor I am against. Although I will say that double xp events does give me a renewed appreciation for the normal xp we get when double xp is not going on.

Anyway, as I was playing my Living Legend level 55 characters so as not to gain any extra unearned xp and waiting patiently for it to end I was thinking that a way to help would be for swtor to make double xp events a scheduled thing during certain holidays so that it doesn't come as such an unexpected unpleasant surprise to those that do not like double xp. This would also be a benefit to those that do enjoy double xp events since they will be able to better plan for it.

For me, not having double xp is the only thing I dont like about SW-Tor. I only play when Double XP is active.
So the best idea would be to make doubleXP a buyable item in the CartelMarket (like the Coin for the purse-slot in lord of the rings online). As it is now the 2XP-Events are much to rare.

No way. Why should people who enjoy the event as it is now (free) have to start to start paying for it?

Your guess is good as mine. Someone always seem to bring it up.

Uh... we've known about this for weeks, maybe months.

Because of the number of people who seem to like would then be throwing a boatload more funding at the game. More funding means more development resources. More development resources means more stuff being created for the game. More stuff being created for the game means more actual content and not BS garbage "content" for the minority Interior Designer portion of the playerbase.

You know, I used to be able to go on-line and surf the Interwebs for as long as I want for free. Funny how things change in Life based on the necessity of the situation. Heck I used to be able to get a game of bowling for $1.00 a pop. Now it's three times that amount. How unfair is that. If I got something for free (or for a certain price) shouldn't it always be free or that price for ever and ever?

It's not the same thing though. You're not paying more for bowling because other customers complained about it being too cheap. To me, it would make no sense to charge the large amount of players that seem to take advantage of double XP because a few people don't like what is being offered for free. LordArtemis' suggestion of a buff that people could remove is still the best solution to this issue IMHO.
