As BG said above, XP events ARE announced - with a weeks notice - whereas GE's etcetera are sprung on us with no warning. I've stated a desire that XP events are
done the same way, with no notice, but that isn't going to happen.
Stop rushing for the "finish" line - and enjoy the scenery along the way - it's a more enjoyable game that way.
As I was mentioning that statement I made above was for small players and its not about reaching EOC, its more about a goal to become a higher level player which most small levels love to think about and if you had a guild with small members that are just starting out you would clearly see that. I am not trying to be disrespectful to you, just take a step back and look at it from when you first started playing, you or others didn't get to that high level just because you wanted to go that high, its more of a mind set goal and determination for them reaching a goal as a higher level
