Serious? Double XP again? No, ZOS! Too many double XP events! You will ruin the game!

I don't understand how this ruins the game, XP is worthless in this game and the more people who can catch up with the silly CP caps the better.

Also I checked OP's thread history to see if they also complained about too many low CP players in dungeons (they didn't) and OMG how many threads have they started about sever downtime/disconnects.

CP matter, think you will be almost twice as strong at cp600 over cp160 using the same gear.
Below 160 its worse as you will also have worse gear.

So, it's going to make the game better if more people have higher CP, better PvP players, better PvE groups, more competition and reasons to compete.

Please put this event on hold till my Warden is born. KKthx

Knowing how things work in the game, as I'm an ESO+ subber, I doubt my exp gains will stack.

My lvl 7 and lvl 32 beg to differ. My lvl 32 already has a speed 60 horse, but I would love getting a boost over that painful, grindy hump to lvl 50. Also at 510 CP, I can almost taste 600...

@VodkaVixen1979 , you're either not playing that character, or you're doing it wrong.

You can average a level per hour of play simply by questing..., covering mainline and major map icon quests!?

Level 60 horse ~ 60 days. Had you played them an hour a day, you'd have been there already. You can be level 8 before you leave the starter zone...

To everyone else:
You do realize that everything that's being complained about is not exclusive to 2x XP events, it simply takes longer?

There are people being just as incompetent the slow, normal, usual way, I assure you.

yeah, exactly, its not whether they get to cp600 thru ABC hours of grinding or thru .5xABC hours of grinding that matters. What matters is what do they learn and not learn along the way.

Because leveling from CP10 to CP600 actually increases a player's skill with their class?

Really?

Being generous, CP1-CP10 are enough to learn the new skills you may get at 50, beyond that it's simply repeating things over and over and over again. Repeating something hundreds of times isn't learning.

Then, by all means, don't participate in it!

Anyone play Black Desert Online? Almost every weekend is a bonus XP weekend. They also have other mechanics and events that give increased XP and that game has no level caps

Tell this to the guy, who wants 500 cp for his Morrowind purchase

It's fine, it is easy to levelup already. Some more XP won't kill the game.

I saw Ambrosia 6k each last night. It was around 4k 2 days ago. Someone, last night, wanted to buy my Psijic Ambrosia Fragment, 25k. I let him fxxk off.

I think the double xp is great to help lower level and lower CP players be able to get up to the cap that much quicker so they are on more even ground with those of us who have been in game from the beginning.

Do you really think that's a great idea? I've seen capped CP levels who don't even know what to do on their builds. They simply suck. This will further ruin everything that can help the low CP to actually learn and benefit their builds through patience.

I can speak from personal experience because I made the mistake of taking an advantage of the XP boost event (Both witches and the festival) with my 3 toons, and I have yet learn anything from them, and their class due to my lack of patience and willing to learn. ZOS gave me the lazy way out through this XP boost.

You learn from experience, not from farming for your CP.

So you'd rather not have those of us who will put in the time to learn alts get a break leveling because you(and others with your terrible mindset) are too lazy to do so? That's not a convincing argument against the merits of double xp, but more of the "everyone should be forced to do things the way I feel is right" mentality. A lot of you sure are bothered by a lot of things that don't affect you.

is it that easy to farm 0 cp to 600?

You pop a potion, run a couple of random dailies and do a little xp mob farming, you can get 5-10 cps an hour easy if you are starting the climb.

Why is double XP a bad thing? O_O

Because it lessens the amount of time you actually have to spend playing and learning the game.

You then take your 500-600CP character into a trial or vet dungeon without having a clue on what you are doing. But because you are high CP and can't complete content, you complain this is too hard and ZOS start nerfing things that others can complete - because they spent time learning how to play properly..

You guys act like it's rocket science.

You can run around mindlessly grinding mobs to get to the CP cap. How does that = skill?

How does doing the exact same thing for 1/2 of the XP = skill either? If you grind to cap it doesn't matter how long it takes you - you still learn jack ***.

You mean generating a tons of high CP noobs, right?

Or leveling those few toon I started awhile ago, that I never finished. Whats wrong with you people? You were a noob once. You want better players, then teach them, not belittle them. If you don't want to make the community better than quit crying about it. Not like leveling is that hard anyway. Teaching mechanics to people is by far a better way to generate better players.

Who taught them how to play? I didn't just walk into a trial and kill it. I learned because some non elitest help me learn the mechanics. Again you want better players you teach them, not insult them. How about the cp 300 guys that get kicked because of cp, but does better than cp 600 players? Too much attention is paid to the numbers. Again people make players better not cp.

Your psijic fragment went up when they released the Mythic Aetherial Ambrosia. Not related to exp event.

luen79rwb17_ESO · March 2017

Oh hell no! This is my 1st event where I have no low level characters left to play so I can just focus on raising my CP from 870 to 900+! Yaaay!!!!

It's not really an issue and my lvl 8 EU toon is greatly looking forward to this
As for why it's not an issue, 600 cp is simply a matter of time spent playing the game, not skill. Yes, if you spend a lot of the time on the game, you are more likely to gain at least some knowledge about how it works, but that's about it. There're so many activities in the game that you can complete by just spamming light attacks(basically anything except for vet dungeons, trials and some WB), all of which give you full experience now with one Tamriel, there's near zero direct correlation between time and skill.

Not to mention grinding which is already a thing and honestly...if someone wants to grind their toon asap, let them, the sooner they discover game doesn't consist of mindless aoe spam and maybe actually learn something, the better.

What this game needs is a learning curve to go along with that leveling, not moar mindless grinding.

There is a reason that we are seeing more and more max cp players who are clueless on how to play the game.

I know I will take this time to grind up 2 of my friends, which will only be contributing to the problem to an extent. Except I will be taking the time to explain builds and what skills work best. Eso itself does very poorly in explaining much at all.

We need a +50% RNGesus bonus for like a month instead of double XP.
