I've seen people post that they have something like 5-7 alts and still haven't hit legacy level 50. So I have to disagree. Some people pour a lot of time into this game before being able to reach max legacy. There's not a lot of legacy to be earned in leveling. Not like doing dailies and what not. A lot of people would already have done all 8 classes before reaching legacy 50. That kind of destroys the point of 12x. Which is to make the leveling alts experience more enjoyable. I can't help but wonder what is peoples problem for this game being more enjoyable? If you don't want 12x you don't have to do it. No skin off your teeth. But if someone does why make them jump through ridiculous hurdles to get it?

I have no beef with people willing to pay a subscription fee just for story content. However, they're not the problem. The problem is people hitting the space bar all through that story content so they can get to 60 and then pollute the group finder while still wearing green 40-something gear.

I'm as willing to help people gear up as the next player, but not when they would clearly prefer that I carry them through a hard-mode rather than go through Oricon themselves once.

12 XP does create serious problems. This is not a case of "Why not?"
I did not personally see any increase in this kind of behavior due to the 12XP event. It happened before the event, it is happening now despite the event being over.

I do not think, personally, that the event increased or decreased the frequency....what I DO think, however, is that it made it more prevalent because geared folks were busy taking advantage of the event and were not queing for content.

So it only seemed like there was an increase. Once the event was gone properly geared and trained folks started queing again.

The likely vast majority of folks that take advantage of this kind of thing are well experienced players with alts. They have the gear and the know-how before they even begin. They were simply busy IMO.

Maybe not for you. The way you play the game. But for others it appears to take longer.

I am sure your intent was to make a point. Unfortunately I think you failed in that effort.

You are right , I play the game and hence it was not hard and to be honest if I did not take breaks I would have hit the 50 Legacy a months of it coming out .

I mean , I can't see why everything must be handed to people at all .

YOU GET 40% EXP NOW , you understand ?
Leveling in this game is way easier than it was when it came out , was not 40% then and people managed to get all 8 classes to 50 .

I am sure you are beyond understanding outside your own views.

Oh, I see now. You made an agenda post. Fair enough.

I am also fairly sure that you have no idea what the limits to my understanding would be. You most certainly do not define them.
