The insane (double XP) plan to get everyone to 55 fast

There's enough people asking for the feature that BW should add it. Honestly, I'm surprised it wasn't a feature to begin with. They already have the infrastructure in place to add buffs that can be debuffed. Would have been easy as cake to make it part of that, where if you log in during the event an auto-buff goes on giving you 2x xp and lasts for some reasonable amount of time, like 6-8 hours, and the player has the option to right click the buff and remove it.

So, even though it can be managed so that the event doesn't affect you, there are enough people ignorant of that fact that, from a customer service point of view, BW should make as many people happy as possible and fix the double-xp event so that these people can remove it. It really shouldn't take much dev time, and for the people that choose not to use it, there will be no effect on them.

this thread is proof people will complain about anything.

And proof that people will complain about other people posting their opinion on the game.

Enough people asking for it?
Hell, even during the first double xp weekend, when the anti-xp frenzy was at its top, i counted no more than 15-20 people asking for it to be optional.
20 people does not make up a substantial part of the playerbase...

I personally would prefer a double xp boost consumable that you get via mail for the duration of the double xp weekend.

I would prefer a double XP boost consumable that is permanently availiable from the Cartel Market.

Leveling is very easy. Being always overleveled makes the process ridiculous.
What BW really does with Double XP is: "Come on, skip the content we made!"
That means you end knowing nothing of class rotation, even CC and other stuff. Not funny.
Ok, real example. GF pug of 50s - 54s wiping on first (!) EC SM trash pull... 3 quitters right away, another queue...
Double XP weekends is one of the worst ideas ever, along with XP boosts as mission rewards.
Make it optional please.

Somebody's mad, maybe you should check to see if you're getting pugged in a guild run. As soon as I see I'm in a ops group with a bunch of randoms I jump ship.

On topic, I personally like the Dbl XP Weekends because that way I don't have to go through the planet quests for the 20th time on a new toon. I beta tested this game (Disregard the date on my frozen signature) and I've done the planet quests way too many times. With the Dbl XP Weekends I can power through toons by only doing their class quests and a little bit of PvP on the side.

I swear if I have to do Belsavis, Voss, and Corellia planet quests again then C2-N2 is gonna have an accident.
