From guildwars.com:
"This weekend will provide you with two ways to double your fun: First of all, you will find that the drop rate for all experience scrolls is doubled. In addition, all XP scrolls—new and previously-acquired—will have double the duration time during the weekend event. The fun starts at Noon PDT on Friday and runs through 11:59 PDT on Sunday night."
Let the power-leveling begin!
Double-Fun Weekend Coming!

Mr_eX
Lots of new botters are going to pop up this weekend.
Cherno
Well this is an odd thing to build an event around. Perfect timing though, was just going to work on getting my new necro leveled up with a buddy.
Don't really see how it is "double fun" though.

Not sure about the terminology "double fun" as Cherno said, and most of my slots are level 20s anyway with more skill points than I know what to do with, but could be a good opp for others (esp the noobs).

Sounds like they're running out of ideas... made me laugh though 
Suppose it's better than nothing, but still

Meh. Can't say this excites me. XP is not a problem in this game.
Alleji
This is the most useless of the events, by far...
Where is the info, anyway? I don't see it on the in-game announcements.

Eviance
Yeah I would say this is lame if I didn't need the skill points lol. Now scrolls will actually be worth buying and power levelers will be making a KILLING this weekend!
EPO Bot
It's good to get rid of death penalties in elite missions.

Well, I suppose I could always get that last few xp for 1000 skill points.

The truth itself

Good idea, maybe limit it, to some set areas, not to destroy the story missions entirely for this event?

Or double size of monster groups ^_^
Cherno
Actually the most practical use of this is to work on getting to Legendary Survivor much quicker.

Double PUG size O.O

If i had 200Trolls around me, i would be very happy !
MSecorsky
It's time for... the Creature Double Feature! (That should date me right there...)
All monsters have double the health end energy and double the drops. heh heh
Have to admit... the double scroll thing doesn't excite me too much. On the other hand, it doesn't bother or upset me in any way whatsoever.

Weird thing to base a double fun weekend on. I guess they ran out of ideas.
Big_Iron
I'm usually all for these weekend events, but this feels more like a non-event to me. I guess because I don't power-level and never have. Double scroll drops? Anytime I get a scroll I sell it, so I guess I've got a chance to make some gold...if I even play this weekend. Getting a little burned out TBH.
Indian
i still think this is a great idea, time to earn-up your skill points, and unlock skills
do heavy trolls farming
do heavy shirokin farming
do heavy 3-4 man fow farming
do heavy Pongmei farming
^_____^

*yawn* um yay. I can think of better ideas I'd rather have implemented. For instance...
- Double MONSTER SIZE.... can you imagine fighting kuunavang or glint?
- Double dye drop..... let's get those black dye prices down
- PVE balth faction.... killing pve monsters gives you balth faction
- Extended PVP.... 12v12 or 16v16 in all pvp arenas
- Royal Rumble.... modified PVP arena where it's every man/woman for himself/herself
- Special event arenas revisited.... bring back dodgeball and the snowball fight arenas
- Double MONSTER SIZE.... can you imagine fighting kuunavang or glint?
- Double dye drop..... let's get those black dye prices down
- PVE balth faction.... killing pve monsters gives you balth faction
- Extended PVP.... 12v12 or 16v16 in all pvp arenas
- Royal Rumble.... modified PVP arena where it's every man/woman for himself/herself
- Special event arenas revisited.... bring back dodgeball and the snowball fight arenas

-double dye drop REALY good idea, since i dont see many dye drops in Factions
-PvE balth faction, no so good idea
-extended PvP, VERY BAD idea will make games laggy + increase time in forming teams
- royal rumble, dont get what you saying
- Special arenas, again good idea

Nah, I don't think the designers ran out of idea, I think they're aiming for a variety of these fun events, so that they can reach out to a large number of players. For while this might not appeal to the player who has all Level 20's, it's really nice for the newer player, or the person who just purchased a character slot who wants to raise it more rapidly.
While I'm here, I think I'll make a thread asking for ideas for these sorts of mini-events. I hope you'll post there!

There were 7 scroll drops (6 being gold) in one mission on Monday (or Tuesday), so there may be a bug already increasing the drop rates. :\
fallot
This can't possibly appeal to anyone
Sir Skullcrasher
Triple fame weekend would be nice!
So who going out this weekend to get those double xp scrolls?

I don't need this event but non lvl 20 find it quite useful. It is still better than no event at all.

The only non shady group I can think of that would benefit from this is the small handful of people trying to get as high a survivor title as they can before the weekend is over.
If I get any scroll drops, they're going straight to the merch.
Lex Talionis
Oh.... ummm.... gee.... More XP and more chances to get a scroll.... So who is this event targeting??? New players who hate the amount of XP given by quests, or the new batch of gold farming bots that Anet wants to identify and ban????
/yawn I'd rather paint my house and watch the paint dry. The double fun in that is watching the paint dry + inhaling the fumes
