A weekend boost is a nice addition. It will help many player finish off some levels or start them in the right track. The EXP has been tweaked a fair few times making it easy then hard.
It helps to encourage players to experience more of the game and be a bit more independent. Perhaps they find they enjoy a certain station and find a niche on the TP in their Server and they can meet the supply and demand.
I’m sure now is a great time for those who have stocks of materials as they can sell them for good value or level up their skills.
Overtime the grind for a certain objective will decrease so new and returning players can catch up to access the latest content.
A large part of an MMO is grinding. Sounds like the OP has done just that, so well done to you for investing so much time to get this done There is no harm with giving a little helping hand to others who are behind. Clearly AGS wants people to catch up to your level.
As a casual player I welcome these little EXP boost weekends.
As somebody who did it the hard way, you are completely wrong. Crafting is a joke, 200-500k to level a skill just to make trash items. Needs to be a faster process.
Do you stand in town charging for crafting services, I’m gonna say no considering there’s tons of people that craft for free, so how are you even remotely affected?
Laughs in 150 aptitudes of fishing without the use of a bot.
You dont know true pain. Who cares about how much gold you sunk into crafting. Until you are at atleast 100 aptitude in fishing dont talk about how the double xp is a bad thing
Plus reagents flop that made reagents cost 0.02 for weeks making it super cheap craft mats. Bots that supplied unlimited amounts of base mats and general crafting profitability because of 570 bareer. It was much much easier.
Grats. No one cares. God forbid they do double xp on crafting. “Wahhhh. I had to do it the ‘hard’ way so everyone else has to. Wahhhh” Guess what? I leveled my character 1-60 without xp boosts and before they made xp rewards greater than what they started with. I am glad they are offering double xp to people for EVERYTHING hopefully.
Also, it is called an incentive. I am sure there will be people coming back to play for this and not only that, this will get more people involved in crafting too in helping them catch up.
Considering the low volume of players, I would think this change will help. As a new player, I am very discouraged by the cost of crafting. I’m not poor and I farm mats but it is taking a lot and I am losing interest in that part of the game.
