Aftermath

It's been a full day since the bonus experience event began. I'm pretty sure most people are down to the minimum 1.1 bonus by now. Everyone has their opinion and here is mine in question format.

Was the bonus weekend a good idea?
For the most part, yes. Since this was the first time for this type of event in RuneScape, glitches and mistakes were expected.

Should Jagex do this again?
Yes. I think it benefits more than detracts, though having it as an annual event is best option.

What was up with all the randoms?
From what I understand, randoms are triggered by getting insane amounts of experience in a short period of time (which is usually suggests a player is botting). This doesn't explain why some players were kidnapped by NPCs moments after logging in. A solution might be to lock the bonus experience timer when a player enters into a random event so he/she isn't losing that precious bonus while attempting to convince Miles he's looking at a spade.

Does this devalue certain skills?
No, not anymore than Pest Control, Soul Wars and penguin points have done.
