everyone should get free ancient mandibles as well!
Imagine thinking that a double xp weekend will make people max out their skills then quit the game cause they have nothing to do anymore.
Wow.
Some stores actually offer this. Many times, it could even be on sale in other store. Price-matching is nothing new.
Doesn’t include refining exp? Lame…

I guess you be happy to play this MMO on your own after the next have decent one launches, because NW WILL ghost if they dont make it more accessible.
have more respect for your own life, you only get one.
Who would care crafting due to dungeon drops is broken anyway and needs rework asap. This crafting bonus is for new players to catch up.
I have been here since Destiny Stress Test (phase before Alpha preview event and Alpha 3), I welcome the double XP for trade skills.
Sound like you are one of those who are willing to sabotage the future of the game for your own gains.

Exactly, especially if it applies to aptitude. It means it benefits veterans and new players. So why object to it?
The Op’s post sound more like sabotage than selfish gains.
How does it harm you if someone else gets something in their game?
From what I am assuming, more higher tier crafters = less opportunity for them to make gold.
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.
Yes, heaven forbid that the devs make the accomplishments of all the dupers and gold buyers so much less!!! 
Anyway, who still crafts? Guess main guild persons in large guilds? The crafting system is really not all that useful for most players IMO. It could use a overhaul.
Anyway, as to OP, it was originally too hard and of too little use, the XP should have been more but they actually made it harder. Any new players won’t even bother even if the XP was quadrupled, because it is not worth it.
And in all games stuff has to be made quicker for new players to feel like sticking around.
The real time commitment are the endless attempts on legendaries.
They previously made it dramatically more expensive forncertain professions from the initual game launch. Its fluctuated quite a bit based on when you were levelling. Early on it was pretty fast to hit 200.
Some became overly grindy. Best thing devs can do is make the system good for all going forward. Let the community brag about their toil in the background but make it a good system to grow the player base.
Some have had it easy and some have had it hard. There’s no way to make all happy.
Ahahahaha.
The “hard” way.
As if anything in this game is difficult.
They said that gathering and refining will be in 2x xp event… so no crafting 
What? How do you get any of that from me calling the OP a snowflake?
what’s your fishing aptitude?
Double Exp weekends have been around for such a long time. They don’t undermine your achievement. You choose it to be. Why do you care that other people get 1 weekend. Maybe instead of double exp it should be leaching exp where your exp is taken instead. Then you can complain that it undermines your achievement.

They should give crafting xp a bump so that its exactly as easy as it was to level a skill at launch.
I was busy gearing and doing pvp back then and in the meantime they made crafting take twice as long and way more costly to level.
I will happily sell people mats who want to finally get their armoring and weapon crafting up.
