Double Green Weekend
Imaginos
Cebe
Sweet...maybe this means Rahse Windcatcher will actually drop his focus for me... I've wanted that for a long time and figured he never dropped it because he was so easily overfarmed. I refuse to buy it!
frojack
Great. I just payed 7k for the Shatterstone as after 30+ attempts, the bastard still refused to drop it _-_...
Mr_T_bot
I wouldn't count on it. This is probably a doubling of the degraded drop rate, not the starter drop rate. We need a real event, like "Restoring the original drop rates with no degradation for a year." If Arena Net wants to stop gold buying, they are going to have to stop hurting the economy through drop degradation.

Kaolin farming is going down ^^.

pass, cantha just simply is not my cup of tea and i wish i can remove factions from my account and replace it with nightfall instead ... but that's the cheapo in me talking.
COOL TROLL JOHN
Well folks they have postponed the double drop weekend until next week according to guildwars.com

Yep it was mentioned to be Cantha only as for now. I'm looking forward to it, bumed that it got postponed.
Sir Skullcrasher
I wonder what bosses in Nightfall will drop greens for you?
ScuZZ
Postponed eh? I do have commitments on the Oct 13th weekend. I was all giddy about the double greens THIS weekend. Anet.. its like you woke me up in the morning to tell me I can sleep longer..
Way to fail. And don't tell me I shouldn't be mad. .
This is another reason why I believe Anet prefers pvp to pve. The main one being Gaile actually compared the Rank emotes in PvP to the titles.. great comparison eh? Something showing under my name compares to a great Deer head coming outta me. I think NOT!

new and improved double green drop weekend.........
I think a better way of doing this would be, as a poster mentioned above, to restore drop rates to their origina, before zones and bosses got so heavily farmed, then on top of that, disable anti-farm code for the weekend]
now THAT would be improved......

it will be an okay event

I am suprised only two users in this thread mentioned anything about Kaolin farming for this upcoming event.
There are also the remaining bosses without documented greens. That would be a green hunter's dream or a massive sell if they did actually dropped greens. I know a lot of ppl have tried. Such bosses include Kayali the Brave and Sarss Stormscale, to name a couple. If they have them, they are the most selfish bosses in all the lands.
Maybe that's the "even better" part of moving it to next weekend. My rangers would love to know what Salke Fur Friend and Milodestus the Wrangler have to offer.

Well, as a frame of reference, I did a 5 man Oro run last night in SF and ONE green dropped. We went all the way through with only ONE green total...period. I'm not going to say that's typical, but you do the math. I'm still psyched they're doing double greens, but I wanted to put some perspective into this. Anyone expecting some sort of wind fall will be disappointed.

I did a 5 man B/P in SF last night. We all got so excited. Three green drops from the first three bosses we met just outside Warcamp. We were all thinking maybe they'd decided to do the double greens this weekend afterall and included Tyria. Then we went into SF. We killed every boss and not a single green dropped. In fact, there were NO good drops at all once we went in. I guess it was just dumb luck when we were outside. I'm not complaining. At least I got a green. It's Thorgall's crappy shield that'll be Hero fodder, but it's better than nothing.

Perhpas they should make a "Greens actually drop from bosses" weekend
Winx.ZN
I know to you dedicated PvE people this will sound like heresy but...
The best way I found to clear "anti-farming" on characters was to do a bit of PvP. The characters I use most in PvP, when they wander into PvE get massive amounts of drops.
Point in case : My friend wanted a Wings Axe and had been farming it forever. I dropped out of an HA group to help him. The mob around Wings dropped 4 golds and wing himself dropped his axe and 1 gold. Everything cept Wings Axe dropped for me.
On the other side : My tank hardly gets to pvp, I rather roll one. I go to PvE and he is reserved mostly whites and purples. I took him for a couple of hours into TA, RA, and a tiny bit of HA. Went back to my favorite baddie killing zone and I got 6 golds.
Luck? I dont know. Maybe, but I doubt it. Going to PvP has more effect on my tanks drops than just "switching crops".
I have no doubt that if I bother to take my monk on the double green weekend farming he will get full of stuff real fast.
Later.
