I'd rather be able to log on and take my time doing whatever than to worry about how much of an exp bonus I'm at.
"The reason Blizzard implemented this is to encourage social non-combat activities. One of the great assets of a MMO is the social aspect. By forcing players to take a rest they can enjoy the smaller nuances of the game. this includes fishing and other trade skills. Hanging out at the inns where I'm sure some games etc will be implemented. Also just making the world more complete by having players not just running around killing things as well."
Small quote taken from the forums.Not everyone is into Tradeskilling,I for one am not.I would much prefer to be out slaying monsters or questing with friends,and not have to worry about how large my current experience bonus is.
Another tidbit:
"I agree with you Severe, the rest system should be gone. I hate it! I forgot to log off at an inn last night, and although I was off for 10 hours, my guy was as fatigued as he was when I logged off last night. Now my whole day is ruined with him unless I make a new character, which I do not want to do."
I didnt have time to run to an inn last night,so I have an experience penalty today.
Good stuff.

They can say it's to make you socialize all they want, but the REAL reason is to keep people from power leveling like a bitch. You can still level up even if you are Normal or even Fatigued. You just won't get as much XP for it. Your day isn't "ruined" if you forgot to rest in an Inn overnight. Just do QUESTS, which do NOT rely on how Rested you are. Do some quests that are heavily dependant on walking back and forth and delivering items. Not a big deal. If you MUST level during your alotted "leveling time" that is set into your daily schedule, just do quests. Otherwise, let your poor character rest in an Inn. It's not the end of the world
I love the system. By the time my character gets under "Well-Rested" (200% XP) I'm about to fucking pass out anyway from playing the game for so long. I think it's the best system ever implemented in an MMORPG as far as leveling goes.
