Here's an idea. Get rid of 2x refining weekends.

Instead. Give us 100% of our RP back when dropping one artifact into another. This would lead to less RP hoarding and people would upgrade sooner rather than waiting for a 2x weekend. I have 2 items to take to legendary. It's seems foolish to do it now when I can store the RP and wait for another 2x.

    drop 2x rp and just make all RP give 150% of what it does now. It stupid to have 95% of the server population holding on to RP waiting for a double weekend that is not scheduled.

    I'm hoarding loads of RP.

    I want to take my weapons to legendary.

    2xRP again soon, or 150%, or swear to NEVER EVER HAVE ONE AGAIN.

    Cause now that I know they exist, I won't use RP unless its worth 2x. =X

    So yeaaaaa.

    Why wait? You may not be playing this game in a couple of months (when they have the next one). Also, there will be artifact belts and necklaces to get. Maybe not weapons, but there will be new 3 piece sets I'm pretty sure. You can't win saving RP constantly as there will always be something better that you should have saved it for. Speaking from experience :P.

    I'm giving all of my peridots to Sgt. Knox so, using his massively manly hands and some magic dust, he can squeeze them all into one big Brilliant Diamond :)

    You are just reinforcing my point. All the more reason to save. But if we knew that in a later mod we could just drop our belt into a new belt and get 100% back. Well **** I would upgrade/buy everything I want RIGHT NOW. With no fear it's wasted money.

    Great idea. It'd give people back their bag space and stop the wild swings in RP prices on the AH. Little point in double refinement when RP costs three times as much during the event. It's a stupid shell game which leaves people endlessly fiddling with their inventory to get a few empty slots instead of playing because it's full of RP.

    i hoard my rp til i get enough to upgrade it from epic to legendary. then i use it regardless of double rp. but if a double rp comes and i have those 20 stacks of each then ill use 10 stacks per and get 2 birds with one stone.

    Honestly, they should get rid of refining altogether..... My daughter happened to be watching me refining some stuff the other day and asked why I was doing it and if it was fun?

    Does anyone actually have fun refining? Do all games have to have something totally boring and worse than work?

    Shhh, you'll screw things up and we'll have to drop items in singularly again instead of in stacks.

    This is as contentious as my suggestion that Artifact Equipment and Epics be Bound to Account. For that fact alone... I LOVE IT.

    More fiddling in bags instead of playing.

    I'll never understand the mentality that goes into the thinking in these things.

    If you're happy with the gameplay where it's at with the level of artifacts/enchants you have right now, then sure, hoard away. And I'm right there with you in the whole, this game is annoyingly hoarder-unfriendly, thing.

    But if you're not, what the hell are you thinking? Getting more frustrated every time you play, doubly so since you're not only frustrated by the lack of gear strength but also having to deal with hoarding things you don't really want to, just so that some time in the future you'll get double value from that RP you've stockpiled? Okay....

    Just use it until you get to where you're happy with your gear. When the double weekend happens don't bother regretting the lost RP because you'll have made up for it in gained lack of frustration.
    Don't Panic.

    I doubt those little children who cried "we must have these maxed RP artifacts and gear now now now..." will like to see this RP <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> system be totally removed or get its RP sink reduced permanently by 50 or even 100% since their moms will spank them really hard for creating such a total mess. In all likelihood the artifact gear will continue and we are going to continue to lose RP we put into our artifact gear every mod.

    It also doesn't make sense players are forced to hold on to their RP until the "next" 2x RP weekend which silently comes and goes but to have the impatient players waste their RP on a normal non 2x RP day is exactly what these little children cried for so doubtful the 2x RP weekend nonsense is going to be replaced by permanent increase effective of RP.

    To ease the frustration of the RP mess brought to players, something in between like 2x RP weekends at a fixed, pre-announced and more frequent schedule like once a month is more appropriate, but impatient players or those who can't play at the 2x weekends still have to sink their RP for only 1x the values.

    Guess what game is the most played one...

    ...AFAIK it's Windows Solitaire.

    So: Not all, but it seems to make games immensely popular.

    Could be a once a day hourly event too.

    Instead of Professions hour, Refinement hour. ;D

    Just a thought, but if they said they would never do it again (2xRP)....would you honestly believe them?

    Probably not.
