Poll: Should a 2xp rate be implemented on the pvp realm?

[Doaksie]

Some quick stats from the poll:

* 83% support permanent 2x XP. More than 4 out of every 5 voters want it permanently implemented.

* 85% support some form of 2x XP. 73 out of 86 voters voted in favor, compared to just 13 against.

* 5.6:1 support ratio. For every vote against 2x XP, there were roughly 5.6 votes in favor.

* 71 out of 86 voters specifically chose the permanent option, making it by far the most popular choice.

The community isn't just asking for a temporary XP event. The overwhelming majority specifically want 2x XP as a permanent option available for the PvP realm, which could reduce the grind, help players reach competitive PvP faster, and make it easier for newer and returning players to catch up and participate.

While this was a forum poll, not a formal in-game vote, it was still heavily advertised in world chat and on discord over the 3 days it was up, giving players plenty of opportunities to make their voices heard.

And it wasn't a close vote considering over 80% supported implementing this.

The numbers speak for themselves and I genuinely hope the devs give this serious consideration to keep our community alive and growing.

this is not because a majority want a permanent 2x xp that is the the right move to do.

You are overreacting just after the DDOS arc. The population drop and low population are consequence of those hard times.

Now we are released from this issue and as the server become more stable, people will come slowly maybe but with reddit thread support and word of mouth will bring people back and new players.

SO 2x temporary xp buff is only option to boost a little the comeback of players and new players joining but as soon as the player base is healthy, disable the 2x xp bonus.

but even with 2x xp buff or any xp boost should give compensation to those who levelled with x1 xp with a solid reward. i think this reward should be given to those who are above lvl 40 or 50 at the moment the xp buff is implemented.

On the PvP server, there are no players who need x2. BG 10+...50+ simply doesn’t exist. Most players continued leveling through quests even with the active x2 and frequent BG launches at the start of the server.

I'm level 25 on PvP realm and considering moving on simply because of the population. Having 2x XP would hopefully make leveling to end content and pvp, where the majority of active players are, a lot faster. A bonus would also be more players. The other way would be moving on, simply because of low population. That is empowering the low population. I've seen the population degrade the last couple of months. I truly hope this happens, the sooner the better.

Saw this late but would've voted yes too.

I don't think it goes far enough though. I would also want a reversal of the nerfs to rested exp accumulation = increase rested cap to 2x character levels instead of the current 1x (or whatever it is currently) as well as increasing the amount of experience gained with rested from current 1.5x to 2x experience.

And relax a bit on on the nazi-like enforcement of the multi box rule. There's about 80 people online most nights when I get home these days, how are you supposed to get a group for leveling dungeons? It's a retarded rule.

Maybe abit more for bgs?

While I do think 2x would give an influx of players, I think it would only be short term because a different/new niche is regarded.

I do believe, (1) it would just produce a temporary influx of players, then stabilize/converge on a lower population increase than we would have if we keep as is; and (2) leveling experience/dungeoning would be worse even with a short-term higher player pop because people would skyrocket to max level. The population would be mostly top-heavy. While leveling on TA, it would pose challenging finding a dungeon group at times, even with a substantially higher population base, because players would reach 60 so quickly.

Any OBJECTIVE reason to do 2x XP on Y'Shaarj would probably apply to N'Zoth as well. Regardless, the majority shouldn't always be listened to. Octo isn't a boosted pserver.

Lastly: Another epoch of hardship can be expected when WoW Forever drops. But likewise as with the DDoS attacks, we will prevail and surpass it. And expectedly (hopefully?) grow steadily regardless of the occasional population crashes.

Unlike Blizzard that has sudden boosts and slow drop, I feel like we have sudden drops but then steady increases.

Those who were calling us 'vocal minority' are turning out to be the vocal minority.
What an irony

The sad truth is that the damage has been already done

funny enough a few people who were vouching for 1x are now asking for 2x.
