Double XP Weekend?
Touched is pretty accurate for those overly concerned about what other players do in the game they pay to play...yeppers "touched".
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.
Release i22 and a double exp weekend in the same week. It'd be glorious!

DFBabies have Jack pancake to do with the help channel being complete and utter **** now. It would be **** with the existence of Freedom and way freems are channel limited, even if DFB were never in existence.
I wouldn't mind the DFBabies if they hadn't made the help channel completely ineffective for it's intended use. I used to stay in the help channel in order to, well, provide help to those who needed it. Now it's impossible to use it for that purpose.
Other than that they don't affect my play. But the ARE robbing themselves of the rest of the game by mindlessly running DFB. |

In all seriousness I agree that if people aren't exploiting (which the DEVS define, not some renta-cop players

I don't consider DFB runs to be exploitive. And I'm not talking about the people who have been around forever and already played through the other content so many times that it holds no surprises for them. But if you hit level 40 and have to ask how to get to Talos Island (yes, I've seen this) then you need to leave Atlas Park more often. Why is it so terrible for me to want my fellow players to have a richer gaming experience?

The reason I emphasized think so heavily is because I'm being up front. I hazily remember something about the topic, but it's entirely possible that I could be totally wrong. If you knew me better, you'd know that I try to be as up-front to my certainty about various things as possible. If I say, "I am 100% sure about this," you can take it to the bank. If you argue with me, you will be wrong. On the other hand, when I say, "I think--emphasis on think," it means, "take this worth a grain of salt, or at least, don't put much faith in it without some independent verification, because while I believe what I'm about to say to be true, I cannot back it up and would not bet on it."
Well, I think --emphasis on think-- that my cousin's neighbor's ex-girlfriend's roomate heard they were doing TRIPLE xp every single weekend from now on!

Yes, it is. For one thing, other people may have heard the same thing and can back me up, thus establishing a level of certainty beyond "I think..." Or the opposite--someone may have heard that they are, in fact, going to have another Double XP Weekend at some point and can correct me. Who knows? Maybe someone read a post that they can link to saying something as specific as, "We haven't had one in a while but at some point we probably will." There you go, "I maybe heard it somewhere" has accomplished something useful--now everyone, including myself--is correctly informed of the current status, and that is a Good Thing™.
This is not without precedent. Several times in the past, I've said, "I think [something]," and been supplied proof to the contrary. I appreciate it when that happens, because I'd rather be corrected than to continue believing something that's factually wrong.

Weasel words like "they have hinted somewhere" do that thing where you claim to have the authority of an actual quote with none of the trouble of actually citing a source or proving your point. It is, at best, misleading.

Had I simply stated, "They're not going to have any more Double XP Weekends," then you might be right to be irritated that I make such blanket statements without any kind of source or evidence. As it is, I am honestly trying to clearly convey my uncertainty, not hide or disguise it.
Sheez.

I think the planning for that went something like this:Zwillinger: Oh hey guys, there's a thread on the forums asking about a Double XP Weekend. It's been a long time since we've had one of those, hasn't it?
2nd Measure: Yep. Maybe we should put one on the schedule. How about *looks at release schedule* March 16?
Beastyle: Okie dokie! *runs off to post an announcement*
(edit: Not that that's a bad thing! Hooray for Double XP!)

Oh, yay. That's the end of Spring Break. I might actually have found my brain by then.
