While 2x is good it should not be asked for, it is usually put up during a holiday. 2x should be an occasional treat. If you are a newbie who wants 2x just to get your gears fast, think again; the GMs don't have to cater to one person. I'm not complaining about it, just don't ask for it.
in my opinion 2x should be used when aga feels its time not when the players want it. please people stop creating these threads he will give 2x when he is ready or has a reason to.
