    Tbh I have never understood XP bonus weekends, is that not the same thing as saying "we know our leveling content sucks, but hey! here you can speed through it at double speed, so don't worry!"

    Whenever I saw double XP weekends in previous MMOs it tends to be only mob related. All quests/PvP gains etc are the same. It's basically a big smooch to the players for little real cost to the company.

    It's not about admitting to any leveling suckages, it's about giving the player base (who feel a bit battered atm) a non-monetary bonus that helps build up the feels. I don't know if it'd work in ESO with the anomolies, but it might help the growing feeling that if you didn't exploit early, you lost out.

    Just fix what's already here and give us more ways to level.

    Double Exp events are usually because they want to maximise the players after a serious fix, in the hopes they will like what they see.

    How about instead they just add more items and crafting styles.

    I think leveling is too fast as it is. Most quests go green and a few have gone white before I could get to them

    Double VP maybe. But it's way too easy to out level the 1-49 quests.

    No.

    Double-XP weekends are the hallmark of trashy games that want people to rush content instead of enjoy the leveling process.

    If anyone remembers Ultima Online, they had a very smooth system for things like that. Needs to be carefully implemented though.

    I'm sure there are always exceptions to the rule, but I'd bet a paycheck that the majority who've been playing as long as us are in the veteran ranks now.

    Never do double XP, some rank that fast that they are v10 in a v7 area and still did not do all the quests. Most are wandering around in Cyro and so they level faster then most players. I am still at early v8 in a v8 area, but let them fix things first BEFORE adding any other stuff. Most players leave because they get stuck to often or getting errors (I had 7 'unknown error' messages in ONE day).

    Now my play time is up, but will come back later this year and hope this game is then more stable. Also I hope they have set up the European server abd that it will solve the lag, delay and the connection problems.

    But NEVER at double XP weekends, it would make the game less challenging and a lot of people will rush even more.

    But as some already posted, an achievement related boost would be a nice feature. The more achievement points you get (maybe every 500 points) would give you an extra boost in HP, Magica or Stomina (your choice).

    No, that way I would feel I'd have to play otherwise I'd be screwed. Once they start with these casual types of things I'll not be extending my game time anymore.
