am i the only one who thinks the double xp weekend was a bad idea?

I'm 7 level's over my class quest, all I've been doing is every quest I can find. I'm way over levelled I actually skipped Alderaan, just rushing through the class quests.

I finished Dromund Kass at lvl 21 by doing only class quest, 2-3 heroic missions and some warzones with no xp potion up and no legacy xp unlock.

29-30 is on level for Alderaan though, unless of course they started that toon right as double XP hit. But not every toon you see running around was created fresh the moment double XP started. I'm actually skipping a lot of bonus objectives (and unfortunately the rewards) just so i can stay on level. I dont like the idea of being a level 20+ and going through Coruscant or DK or being 25 and doing Balmorra/Taris. I actually stopped playing my low level alts and i've been trying to level my Jugg through Makeb. This is my first toon through Makeb and so far i hate it, so despite me not liking double XP weekend i'm gonna use it to speed my way through Makeb.

Thank you for the double XP weekends!!!!!!

I really am enjoying it. The extra XP is great, I don't mind if a few of my quests end up gray. I still do them anyway.

I like to be a few levels above what is required for a planet, so this makes that easy.

If it were up to me, every weekend would be double XP weekend. BUT....I would offer a XP reduction buff consumable for those that wish to counteract the effect. It would be offered at a very low cost.

We were on a guild achievements run yesterday afternoon on Korriban and in general chat a lot of new players were saying they could not afford skills as levelling too fast. When you think they have no crew skills or anything at first I could see their point.
But Bioware cant win in all truth. Dammed if they do, dammed if they don't. The only suggestion I could say is put in an option to turn off double XP for those who do not want it.

A nice guild event also on double Xp weekends is a datacron run. We did Alderan yesterday also and many brought lower level alts and they gained about 2.5 levels just from exploration xp and codex/crons whilst getting the datacrons also

No, they are fine. It makes people who are leveling alts have a better reason to.

I've choked on a few of those ability costs myself hehe.

My current character (a guardian tank) is at lvl 47 and I'm thinking on not buying more skills until I get some money. I am starting belsavis at level 47! this is crazy...but I love it, maybe by the end of the weekend I'll have my tank at lvl 50 working towards the makeb comm mods.

Bioware, you have to make these weekends every two weeks or so, it's great for advancing the toons.

Love double XP weekends. Thanks to double XP, I didn't have to bother with Taris (except class missions) on Imp side.
