Anyone else feel like bo6 bot lobby service has been giving us Double XP weekends more frequently than previous titles? Don’t get me wrong—I love racking up fast progression—but part of me wonders if the devs are compensating for something. Maybe slower base XP rates?
This upcoming May event makes it at least the third or fourth XP event since launch, which is wild considering we’re not even that deep into the year. I’m not complaining too hard (free progression = win), but I do miss the satisfaction of leveling through effort. Double XP is great, but I hope they don’t overuse it to mask grindy systems.
Anyone remember in BO2 days when a Double XP weekend was a big event? People would plan their weekends around it, bring snacks, grind with friends—it felt special. Now it’s like, “Oh cool, another one.”
That said, this May event is well-timed. Ranked mode is getting sweaty, and I’m behind on unlocking some mastery skins. So yeah, I’ll be in the lobbies, but I hope the next event adds some spice—like Double Weapon XP or maybe a crossover event?
What do you all think? Are we spoiled with these XP weekends now, or is it a smart move by Treyarch to keep players engaged?
