Okay, this is probably going to come off as a major whine, because that's what
it is.

The bonus exp periods around Christmas are awesome and it's really cool that
wizzes want to reward players with something cool like this, particularly
around the holidays. That said, the net effect of it is actually pretty bad
imo. Here we are almost a week after the bonus exp period and it's a real
struggle to find anything that isn't in absolutely horrible tune because
everything was raped so hard for those 2 days. In particular, for someone
like myself who didn't even get to benefit from the bonus because I have a
family and was travelling and visiting family over that time it is a huge
negative and purely a disincentive to do play atm. I would assume that even
for some people who were able to play a decent amount over those 2 days it was
a net negative because of how bad tune has been since.

All of this said, the ideal situation, imo, would be that the global exp tune
is captured before an event of this type and reapplied after (not sure exactly
how global exp tunes are stored or if this is a possibility), if it's not
possible then perhaps a reset of the global tune after the event (admittedly
this would be a big uptune post event too), or some other solution could be
implemented that still allows some sort of a bonus, but doesn't completely
screw tunes for weeks to come.

Flame away.
