Half XP month and more nerfs.

Plz no, I am already outlvling the zones I am in by 7 lvls. Been awhile since I have gotten drops from mobs.... Since Grathwood... now in Reapers March

No dice. Games generally do not hand out double realm point/ dbl exp weekends until player bases drop heavily (usually after first year, I understand it is happening quickly with ESO) and it is used as an affordable way to draw players back that may be interested in levelling an alt or new players to join to play catch up. A fair whack of us (players from release/early release) were capped in 2 weeks and went from vr10 to 12 the day of crag release. Exp is not something that is a current issue that should be being looked into.

I was 4 days played when I hit VR10 so any "lifeless," "cheat," "exploit" comments will be up to you to sling but inappropriate and false. I wasn't even the fastest within my guild by half. I actually stopped due to a few quest breaks before being able to move into vr zones.

But as a decent piece of bait for players, maybe double gold from mobs? discounts on horse? Rewards for trait research quickening? All sorts of things that could be done as an event weekend but not exp. To readily available and easy to gain with a few minutes effort.

I would like special events, like one time dungeons or special enemies, daedric summoning days. That would be cool.

you already level up too fast why on earth would you want to level even faster?????

Double veteran points. Pre-veteran, I really don't want to outlevel content even faster.

Really liking some of the alternatives being raised by the "other" voters.

Keep 'em coming!

but wait, there is more!

if you log in in the next 10 minutes, we will give a 2.001 XP, all for the same price. That's a 0.1% discount!

not convinced yet?

log in in the next 5 seconds, and we will crown you an emperor! You will have 5 second to unlock all related skills!

Iam ok with some xp boosts, iam becoming tired of questing and my free time avaible is spent in Cyrodiil, that is not a good tactic to level up, but its fun.
Iam currently at R4 and i play from the 5 day early start.

Some special events that could be added.

Double xp
(but only if some option were put in place to allow players to "hold" onto a level without being forced to level up so they don't outlevel the content. Good for speedy players or those playing catch up, but won't force players out of the content level they are in)

Double skill xp
This one would have players just hoarding enchantment materials until it hits but then there would be a frenzy. Not necessarily a bad thing.

Double loot or a small chance at double loot.
Maybe those rune nodes have a 20% chance at having double runes? Or all gold in chests is doubled or maybe a chance at an extra item in chests.

Guild Store Coupons
For a limited time you could get rare drops from mobs and chests which could be a ticket you can spend for 100/1000/10000 gold toward a purchase at your guild store. It's just the same as gold but only for guild store purchases. Potentially broken, but an interesting mechanic to explore.

Limited Time Motifs
During certain events or weekends, new rare motifs and crafting stones for those styles drop. Rotate them in and out so they're never gone for good, but won't be around all the time. In general there should be way more motifs anyway.

It would certainly drive me away, I am already outleveling the quests by far and you want to make it even worse?

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!"

If a company thinks bonus XP weekends is a good deal they should just let those that hate leveling choose at character creation between a lvl 1 and a max lvl character and lets those that love the story, the leveling, the whole game and not just endgame...enjoy it fully without getting their game experienced destroyed by things like this.

Didn't the original Guild Wars do that? Not sure if I remember that correctly or not.

Lol at that picture. Really though, I would only even consider supporting double xp if it was for veteran levels.

Depends. Double kill XP? Meh. Double ALL XP? *** yeah. If it gets our numbers to blow up for even just weekend, more fun for us.

They cannot even code in a skill point reset for when they change class abilities or other skills. How do you expect them to be able to code in double xp?

I love double XP weekends! They make me giddy. I'm slightly cautious of the devs breaking this though and making it a no-XP weekend.
