Can we please receive permanent 2X XP? Tripwire is officially ending support for this game. Anytime someone asks “When is the new 2X XP event?” they always tell them, “Oh well, we have no plans as it would require an entire game update to implement.”

Now is your chance! Please just give us 2X XP as a thank you for those of us still playing this game. Many of us have been playing since beta and just enjoy unlocking skins. It’s not like it unlocks weapons or anything. Is this something that could happen? I can’t think of anyone who would be against this — but Tripwire.
