Again, that isn't the point. XP is fine, I agree. But posting crap like "XP bonus weekend!" gets people to try it out even if it was super fast to begin with. People few it as a short term opportunity. It's the same reason every infomercial ever created has the "call in the next 30 minutes and get 50% off!" shit in it...even though you'd get the same price no matter when you call. It creates a false sense of urgency and desire in people to act.

You could literally give a 5% bonus to make it 295% and call it a bonus weekend and you'd have a surge in population for the weekend, it's human nature.
