My guess is that it will have to do with the challenge missions (Dragons Throat, Zos Shiveros, Aurios mines, Altrumm Ruins, and Amatz Basin)because these are hardly used and could be fun with double awards. (or tripple or whatever)
Discuss what you think!

Challenge Missions seems likely, but I don't think you could even triple the rewards and still keep it worthwhile. Challenge missions pay out horribly.

Next week there won't be an event, due to the Leizpig Championship.

I hope there will be a FoW/UW event, where favor isn't required to enter and Shard/Ectos drop twice as often.

I want a double the purple drops month. Where is the love for the purple items...

Actually, I'd like to see a skill capping weekend. Maybe, double the bosses, double the xp gained after capping elite skills. Skill hunting is probably one of my favorite things to do when I'm bored with the missions and quests.

Oh a Nightfall event would be cool like helping Elonian refugees on Shing Jea or helping an archeological dig team set up a site in Anmon Oasis from Elonia. I realy liked the Factions Pre events they did in Lions Arch area.

Imagine if they actually let creatures drop items in the Challenge missions - it would be a Plagueborn goldmine.

The UW/FoW event'd be rigged, people who have no idea how to play would just go in and die, and the farmers would prosper even further.

But on the flipside, people could learn how to be pro at UW/FoW...

Well since I won't be playing next weekend, I assume it will be an event involving increased drops of ectos. Maybe free FoW armor too.

These events scream to me there collecting data on changes to several thing there considering and the real work effect it has on the game, just like the oringal double faction event back in the day (pre-factions) that ended up becoming a permanet change.

Now to guess.... 1/2 Of all merchant (not traders) sale

I very much hope they keep at least a few of these weekend events as permanent features. The Zaishen Medallions were an awesome idea.

For the fun and joy of skill balancing.

That's what I am hoping on anyway, as the tournament should be over by friday.

double oh seven?

No idea actually, but I hope it's something a bit more than just doubling some numbers/farming/grind.

all of these ideas arent that great in my opinion (apart from the frozen chest idea) double ecto or w/e would be a catastrophic effect on the economy, but something really nice that i could think of is a new explorable area, perhaps a new area similar to fow/uw would be in order :P

Well you obviously have never farmed a boss. They sometimes drop 2 of the same green. One of my guildmates got 3 of the same green all at once.

Yes, Challenge missions definatly need a MUCH better reward.. and permenantly!..

If ANET is about balance, then why is it that the rewards for the challenge missions are so un-balanced?

The time and effort required, pays so much less than doing any average mission.

On a side note -
I wonder if after all these weekends ANET might introduce some permenant changes?
Remember how they did the Double Balthazaar faction (oh so many moons ago) which they ended up keeping?..

I certainly would like to see they key drop rate kept, and an increased change of gold drops out of chests universally.

I dont think the double faction is needed, except for Jade Quarry maybe (just to get it some more action)
