Double influence and major events

  I don't know for sure but I think this is done on purpose.
  
  One character can only do one influence run per 24hrs for 400(800 in 2x Inf). If you hit the right timing you can do this very quickly (less than 15mins sometimes) esp if you are doing T1 encounters. Then you are done for the whole day.
  
  So if 2x influence was in a week by itself, people who only have one toon will get it done very quickly. PLUS, many people don't do influence runs at all (even if they belong to a guild) so again, if the 2x Influence week was on it's own, all these players would essentially have a week of nothing going on.
  
  In addition, many of the events will drop stuff during your Influence runs so you are sort of getting a double whammy out of that.
  
  The issue becomes a problem for people who like to run more than one character during 2x influence and/or events. That can be very frustrating but again, even if you have a lot of toons, you can get your daily influence runs pretty quickly if you run them one after the other.
  
  That said, there seems to be a concerted effort by the powers that be to discourage people from having multiple toons. I have no idea why tho because if people have more toons they will tend to spend more time playing which is what they say they want. *shrugs*

  Running influence takes about 30 minutes or less per character.

  This is fine an dandy if you have less than 4 or so characters. I work full time and have 16 characters on my main account. I have members with way more than that. Having to choose one event for the stronghold over another at the same time is frustrating. I've played for close to 6 years and totally aware of the time it takes to complete one round of influence. They have done this in the past with other events. I don't understand when we have a week where they have 2x currency in ...... Campaign why not add it to that week. If someone has 1 character then they can run their dungeons, dragons, campaigns, etc. after their influence is ran. That does not work for everyone.

  Why should they? People also have many characters to do those 2x currency events. For me, those are even more important than summer and winter festival because those are AD events. Different people has different need.
  
  Anyway, the next 2x influence (if PS has the same calendar as PC) will have no other event.
