Bonus xp isn't working either. That is the way it's always been. Most xp boosts don't work during a bonus/double xp weekend.

Jagex events are biased and deceitful plain and simple. "NO you can't do that because you'd benefit too much from that." - Hence the point of it being a special event.

Mod Matthe said :
Items or places that double (or in some cases more) the XP generated will not provide that benefit during double XP weekend - therefore Goldsmith gauntlets will not provide their usual bonus xp during the weekend, same as the multiplier effect of the gilded altars will not function.

How about not mentioning this clearly that this is an exception to the rule beforehand? Just a "sorry for the inconvenience"?

Seriously making a mistake isn't a problem.. but in this case you should choose whatever players prepared for. Please have this arrow in your knee. My ideas dump thread

What I'd like to know is if there is any way that you could turn off the double xp so that I can train my smithing in a normal way.

Because now I have 3 days in which I just cannot train smithing in the way I intended to train it. And nor can people who bought gold ores.

Same goes for people who want to use altars. It's very inconvenient.

Time to use my uncharged Pak-Yak pouches that I collected some while ago for instant xp gain.

Feel free to take a look at my suggestions: 200m xp prestige

looks like the exp you get wont degrade over time either. This is good because constantly smithing over a 3 day period tends to get dull and this will allow us to take a break for a bit without losing anything. ^_^

double xp should MEAN double exp, otherwise you shouldn't call it a double xp weekend. it should be called a double xp (apart from anything which is too beneficial) weekend. and suspending the effects of gilded altars etc. is ridiculous, it just postpones peoples skill goals.
