Guild Wars 2

I apologize if this suggestion has already been posted, but I see that it has not been implemented, and I believe it is a good idea to get more people to log on more often.

Rested bonus from being logged off in designated areas, such as towns or taverns, would be an incentive for players to continue playing the game. The incentive becomes more effective the longer the person is logged off of a certain character because the amount of xp bonus is increases with time.

It undermines the sale of xp boosters from the gemstore, as well as other consumables from cooking etc. :-/

I’m not sure about the xp boosters, or how many people buy them from the gem store, but I believe consumable bonuses should stack with rested bonus. The sales of xp boosters might even increase from the implementation of rested bonus, just due to the increase in players logging back on and playing. Half of a level would be the cap on rested bonus, and it would take many hours being logged off to accumulate.

so easy to get to 80 anyway already, and tbh this could have the opposite effect as well of ppl purposefully not logging on untill they have a certain amount of rested bonus

The whole point of rested experience is to catch up to players who play the game more often than you, while not giving you a huge advantage. Aka, the casual vs the tryhard. I hope you realize that you already have a rested experience system in place.

If you don’t understand what the rested experience system in place is, look at your daily achievements. Each one of those gives you 5% of your current level upon completion and an additional 10% of your current level on daily completion. That means if you simply do a daily, you will guaranteed gain 35% of your current level. That also does not account for experience gained from killing mobs, gathering, crafting, exploring, “questing” and/or just playing the game. There are also 9 available daily achievements (not including sPvP) which means any player may gain up to 55% of their current level without accounting for natural experience gains.

To add to that, most of these dailies are “quests” or objectives that are not too far out of the way of a player leveling up.

tl;dr: dailies are your rested experience

Daily achievements already do that. By doing them you can get up to 30% bonus xp. It makes the first hour the most valuable one.

As for logging out in select places, please no. That’s just annoying, having to backtrack all the time. More time is lost running from Inn to a remote location than you earn by being rested.
