KamikazeChicken
Double Kurzick/Luxon faction in ABs, with the extra incentive of returning them to their previous preview glory. >.> Ggkthx, I'd play.

Or setting up an arena (RA, TA, or HA) so that you get the skills from either the snowball fight arena (from winter event) or dodgeball arena (from dragon event).

6 man gvg! Only during a fun season or when the ladder is locked.
Double faction in gvg.
Double fame in HA! (oh wait)
Random team Alliance Battles
Random team HA
Double rare material drops
Double green drops
*FREE BEER!* (would not be able to be sold to merchant)

Some PvP ideas I had. Of course, they should be either during a ladder lock or HA-only events.
2 elites weekend: Everyone can have 2 elite skills on their bar instead of 1. Chaos ensues.
6 skills weekend: Inspired by the 6-man PvP weekend, only 6 skills may be used in PvP. Might stop some gimmicks or form new ones
Hyperspeed: Everyone has a permanent, unstrippable Chimera of Intensity.

Barring some kind of event where using the skill "I Will Avenge You!" causes your client to close and uninstall, your hard drive's platters to warp and crash, your memory to corrupt, your CPU to explode, your monitor to catch fire, every ISP in the country to blacklist you as an ineligible customer and your soul to rupture inside your very body condemning you to an afterlife of hellfire with a best-case scenario of an eternity in purgatory...
...
...
that Oktoberfest idea sounds pretty good.

Oooh, another idea, you know the optional missions where you need to get as many points as possible, that nobody plays? Make them give rewards of some kind or anything, because they seem kinda empty.
Maybe better drops or something, or change something in them like 12 man party and harder mobs.

MINI FIGHT WEEKEND!
For a weekend, anyone in the battle isle will be transform to be a Mini! (1/6 size) That include the fights!
(yes, they did that in beta befoe, so they have the technology...)

Open up FoW and UW to all saying the gods need us to kill some special boss monsters in the area.
Create a FoW "hall pass" or "Favor of the Gods Token" drop that would allow groups to go at any time as long as one of the members surrendered their "hall pass". These would be consumeable and stackable, they could also be sold and traded for one time use only. Maybe the boss could drop several for each player when they die.
You could only use it in ToA when your servers don't have favor. This would let some players who have trouble getting into groups get people to accept them in their group for a trip into FoW. Also, some of the people on servers that don't win favor much or in International could finally go together.
Make them fairly easy to get items or something that could be traded with a collector for Dark Remains or something like that.
I can see it now, "A/Rt with Token looking for FoW group"

DOUBLE RARE MATERIALS DROP (except ecto and shards)
FREE FOW/UW/DEEP/URZOG ENTRY
GREEN/SPECIAL ITEMS THAT ONLY DROP FOR ONE WEEKEND! (duplicates of other greens with new skins)
FIND GWEN WEEKEND! (GWEN QUESTS FIXED! Although they might be devilishly cryptic and difficult and only available for the weekend)
tommarrow
Could you just imagine 8 people in a group with 5 mini pets each running around. Worse if they did this and allow pets in town there could hundreds of pets running around.
Eviance
Now in order to make the double ecto and shard drops thing plausable you would have to eleminate the ss/55 and rit builds... Something that strips enchantments or something like the chained soul guys in tombs.
As much as I would love to just tell my monks - HEY LETS GO FARM WITH MY SS! it just seems a bit unfair.
How about a no holds weekend... people can still HA and win but it doesn't have any effect on if you can get into UW or FoW? I know it bugs a lot of people that when they are on they never have favor... This would be a good chance for them to go have fun in UW and FoW without having to sit around waiting for someone to win it. (although I'm not sure if double ecto and shards should go with that or not lol)
Edit: aww someone beat me to this idea, though the hall pass thing seems confusing.
Also the best quests were when we had to do the Christmas quests... they were fun! I loved chasing the nakie warrior that was so amusing lol. A weekend of silly quests with great rewards like double skill points would be nice.
and this:
WONDERFUL ACTIONJACK! I would love this so much! <3 Who doesn't want to battle chibbi style!

Double your unlucky/lucky title points.
Gain points by fighting mini-pets in a mini arena.
Totally random.
I'd say recycle the double faction/fame weekends.

I'll echo the access to FoW/UW without the favor of the gods, simply because it would be great.
And maybe a weekend where in PvE you get to use monster skills in addition to your own skills. Except Spectral Agony... okay, maybe Spectral Agony...

fow and uw free exploration weekend.
-access to fow and uw free for anyone (janaese/taiwanese players would love this)
-a special npc u find once u are in fow/uw can unlock the quest u want to do (ex u wanna do horsemen in uw without cleaning all the way there, or the tower of strenght in fow... u're free to start there)
-couple of green items that drop IN THE WEEKEND ONLY in fow and uw. ex menzies staff, sword/axe/shield in the tower of streght and in quest reward chests in uw

Opening of the auction house weekend <nudge nudge wink wink> Ok, I know that's a lasting game improvement, not a weekend only event, but it is something I'd be more happy to see than any random weekend bonus events.
As for mini-events, I'd like to see monster henchmen weekend. The candy corn golems and snowmen of previous holiday events were fun.
Also, Oktoberfest sounds like a great idea.

It would also add some change to the strategy, as the landscape is larger now.
As a mini-event... I guess it need to be something where dev can do with relative ease (with just change of few numbers in the code). So it should do...
oh.. another idea...
Boss Hunter Weekend
For the weekend, the boss will give out double exp,, double moral points, and more chance of droping gold/rares.
obsidian shard
pvp:
-bring mini-pets into pvp areas, in fights and stuffs
-double skill bar, 16 skills, 2 elites allowed - 4 people only in 1 group
-disable flag running + archers weekend in GvG battles - turtle ftw!
-gvg battles where turtlers get damage every 3 seconds theyre in the lord room
-15 minute gvgs, 15 minute play then VoD comes at 15 mins, and the guild lord comes out to play too!
loads more i could suggest, i like the resizing idea for PvP too

A UW/FoW Special Weekend.
Double Ecto/Shard drops
No fee to access UW/Fow
Favor not required to enter UW/FoW

I like the Octoberfest idea myself - having enemies dropping ale/rice wine/ whatever would be pretty cool. After all, those outcasts, crimson skulls, and Am Fah guys are probably doing something to entertain themselves when they're not harrassing people.

Oh and, a no more favor needed for FOW and UW event, that ends up being permanent!

You guys have been doing a good job so far. I like a lot of the ideas others are tossing around to.
- Double dye drops
- Double the chance to salvage rare materials
- Double chance of salvaging weapon mods
- Double chance to get a rare drop in both Cantha and Tyria
- Double XP from monsters (without scrolls)
- Double the amount of gold that drops (intead of 100 it would be 200)

They've all been mentioned but I'll /sign for:
- Free/unrestricted access to FoW and UW
- Oktoberfest (beer drops, longer time drunk)
- A "casino" weekend with double unlucky/lucky points
- A "mapping" weekend, where people can have unrestricted access to certain areas so they can get their titles eg: Shing Jea arena, a tour of the Alliance Battle maps, Ascalon arena, monastery overlook.
Previous ones I'd be happy to see recycle:
- Double faction + all access to Alliance Battles (was great to see Jade Quarry humming during that weekend)
- Unrestricted Access to Elite Missions
- Free/unrestricted access to FoW and UW

How about a lets fix and increase storage weekend. Lol just kidding Gaile
I really like the drunkard weekend or maybe ultra rare drops with good stats for everyone weekend. I have played this game along time and i don't farm much so i haven't received a drop worth a crap. I defiantely think that would help the economy because 100k+200ectos is getting crazy.
Maybe a 10 skills bar with 2 elites weekend (maybe permanent for PVE) that way you could have a defensive elite and an offensive elite skill.
Or maybe even a create your own ultra rare weapon weekend, where you do a series of quests. Each quest helps you earn either weapon material or favor of a weapons smith. Then when you earn enough you get to pick the skin and stats of the weapon of your choice this would of course be personallized but who cares you get a ultra cool self designed max weapon.
Anyway Thanks for the opportunity to have some input Gaile!!

Slay The Devs Weekend. 
Place the devs in a team or something and have them hold halls or something and make halls random access so all the players with pent up frustrations over nerfs, non-nerfs, or any issues with the word nerf can go and beat up the games devs. I'm sure more than a few people would love to "touch" Gaile or "thump" a dev with cookie cutter builds.
I'm actually semi-serious here i think.

PVP:
- GOD weekend: all the classes can compete on RA / TA / HA using up to 8 elite skills O_O (i would LOVE to see the combos and say goodbye for ALL the game balance for a weekend)
- Double Madness weekend: for the entire weekend all the classes would have permanent "frenzy effect" on RA / TA / HA, attacking 33% faster and taking double dmg.
- Deathwatch weekend, battles would take place on guild halls and alliance map battles, but would be accessible trough a special NPC. There wouldn’t be no teams, players would spawn on random locations on the maps and would have to be the last person alive.
- Extended Random Arenas Event: while entering in a battle trought the RA map, you would be placed either on a RA/TA battle OR a HA one OR a GVG one or even an alliance battle. It would be nice for people to try out diferent game plays and 100% random pugs on diferent game times, thought i don´t know for sure how much programing is necessary to match teams of 4, 6, 8 and 12 in diferent scenarios.
PVE:
- Where is Waldo Weekend: some "waldos" (yes, the skinny white/red t-shirt guy) would spawn in specific places around the game (tyria and cantha) and would give special prizes for who talks to them first.
- Kill Gayle weekend: a lvl 100 ranger boss would spawn on a specific place and a party of 24 players would be required to beat it.
PVE and PVP:
- Oktoberfest (modified version): for the entire weekend, EVERYBODY is constant drunk, and gets random KDs while walking (HAHAHAHAH!!!! This would get annoying after some time ^^).

My favorite suggestions in this thread so far are:
1. Free/unlimited access to UW and FoW.
2. Double green drops.
3. Double ecto/shard drops.
4. Either double XP from capturing an elite skill, or one better, a free skill point for capturing an elite skill, to encourage skill hunters to go nuts.
I would also like to see a weekend where opening chests produce ONLY gold items.
