Thanks,

If by re-think you mean make it so the servers aren't laggy as all Frack and the pvp button doesn't work until you reset your Gui or mail is laggy and it won't let you pick stuff up then yes please(as obvious as that seemed from your post i second it)
As for double XP itself. I think it should be a legacy unlock feature for people that are legacy 50. Why legacy 50? Because it is understood legacy 50 people have played this game for a LONG fracking time and likley have a bazillion alts. And these people like myself as an example hate. HATE the retarded planet quests of which I personally have done 2 55's of each faction alone so 4 all together. And so it would be a nice addition to have the ability to unlock double xp for alts. (and yes I realise i could buy a bunch of other legacy unlocks blah blah) these are not double xp. Give me double xp. Especially since both I work during these weekends and miss out on full days not to mention my computer is a POS. so it overheats and shuts off randomly so i miss that when the hardware fails.
Not to mention a legacy 50 unlock double XP keeps it limited to subscribers more then likley and people who are legacy 50 so you dont have said flood to the server. PLUS it gives the "Wahhh turn it off" crowd an opt out button that allows them not to partake.

Personally i don't mind even buyin a cartel market item that will DISABLE this double xp bonus. While i understand the reasons behind such policy,such as attract more people in this game etc. But the whole idea itself completly kills level progression scheme, & for me just ruinin my gameplay expirience.

How does this kill level progression scheme? I do a few planet quests a couple pvp matches for the daily and the story quest on planet. Max that i'm over level is 3 levels as i'm level 36 for a 33-38 planet (Taris impside and i'm just really guessing as i can't recall off hand what the actual planet level suggestion is). As it was already discussed as those who do every conceivable planet quest and story quest on planet you are guaranteed to over level anyways.

So just adapt to it

I cant believe people are whining over Double XP weekends.

You guys must be crazy whining about faster level progression.

I don't get it either. If you want to do all the quests, are them being gray really keeping you from doing them?

I loved it for it allowed me to work on those left behind alts, also when the server had too many players, i could transfer to a less populated instance which allowed me to solo the content in peace with out having to compete against other players for mission objectives...
