Please don't poll players on this. We have been shown on ever single occasion that double XP weekends create huge economic issues for months before and after the event. It has been shown that these weekends encourage unhealthy gameplay, by having no end-cap on XP (if you were to do another of those, you should have the bonus xp reduce to 0 after an acceptable 10 hours of training).

Sure, double drops have their own economic issues, but these only tend to influence combat related items (as opposed to reaching every skill indiscriminately).

When you already know one of the options is vastly worse for the game, why even give the players the chance to choose it?


On a related side-note, it is nice to see Jagex working with what sounds like an interesting charity.

Double drops and xp will both ruin the economy, but I'd rather go with xp because of the earlier stabilizing factor which happens right after the event (1 or 2 weeks). It's also a good oppertunity for people who are low on cash to make some by preparing in the upcoming weeks and everyone benefits of a double xp weekend (also skillers/pures).

Double drops won't reach the full community.

But actually, what stands above doesn't really matter as much as the charity! Keep it up Jagex :D ! Titan Raid - Permanent Raids Team

Would the double xp work on Prayer (on Gilded Altar) also? I think using bones at gilded altar hasn't worked at least during some double/bonus xp weekends?

Or what about other skills? I'd like to know which skills will be the ones I can use bonus xp on before voting.
