My suggestion is a half price skill weekend. In PvP skills cost half the balth pionts and in PvE they cost half the gold. Skill Cap should probably still be full price otherwise people would just stock up, that is unless you capped the number people could carry at one time.

I actually think this is a really fun idea. Pay attention to this one, Anet.

Double CM faction? Did I miss that one or is it a new suggestion Gaile?

Anyway, here are my top five favourite weekends (best first)
  1. Double (Kurzick/Luxon) faction in CMs. As well as being good for us Friend titlers, it would help boost the currently-atrocious player population :P Aspenwood can take ages to form a party unless you're at peak times, and Jade Quarry is impossible. It's a real shame because I think the CMs are the best part of Factions (I've taken two Prophecies characters through most of Factions just to get Aspenwood)
  2. 'Monsters invade towns' weekend suggested above (maybe in conjunction with the introduction of hard mode? Lv20 Charr invading Ascalon City )
  3. Snowball Arena
  4. Rollerbeetle Racing
  5. Double XP for elite skill captures (double XP in general would be nice but the elite skills one worked well)

Hmm... my top 5..

1. Elite mission(deep/urgoz) access
2. Free FoW/UW
3. Double rare (gold) monster and chest drops. So maybe i actually get a gold for once.
4. Double faction.
5. And perhaps double dye drops. Found four blacks on the last one.

1. Access to Elite Missions
2. Access to FoW & UW
3. Access to Boardwalk
4. Clovers & Ales Fall from Above
5. A Double event weekend something PvP and something PvE

My Suggestions for new ideas would be

Keyless chest weekend
Ectos/shards Drop All Over Weekend
scavenger hunt weeked (similar to the new years but individually not as a group)
double points for eating sweets and drinking ale weekend
mini pet weekend - bosses have a chance to drop a random mini pet

1. Chest loot
2. Double faction in competitive missions
3. Higher drop rate of rare weapons in elite missions
4. Double xp for capping elites
5. Shamrock ales and clovers

I'd like to see a weekend that is focused entirely on Jade Quarry. Double the faction exclusively in Jade Quarry so people actually start playing it, since it's much better than aspenwood imo.

  • Double Gladiator Points.
  • Double Fame. (note: I am not sure this will be enjoyable for me this days without pugs)
  • Double Faction in whatever. (note: I am VERY near to unblock everything; so I will be losing faction very soon; Please add more things for unlock or I will be doomed; GW:EN content will help I think, but why not add some armor/weapon skins right now? that's skins are already in game, it's easy; I have a lot of ideas, for example I could pay 50.000 factions for unlock black dye for PvP, etc, etc, etc; a lot of ideas no really hard to implement because are things already in-game)
  • The Fissure of Woe and The Underworld.
  • Snowball Arena.

I would like to see a HA 8v8 weekend...every weekend.
I would like to see a weekend where the devs aren't pussy footing around and misleading the PvP communnity.
I would like to see a weekend where the devs idle in HA and answer questions regarding PvP.
I would like to see a weekend where devs answer questions and concerns on these forums in the PvP sections.

Double glad points weekend is a good idea as where double champ and double fame weekends are not.

Carry on.

If ANET makes another double fame weekend I will do something, involving a plane and the ANET building, something that another guy got banned for posting about. LOL.

Double Chance of Drops:
* Unique (green) drops

Double Benefits:
* Double Hero XP

Access to:
* Elite Missions
* Gamer Weekend (access to Shing Jea Boardwalk, Dragon Arena, Rollerbeetle Racing)

Special Item Drops:
* Shamrock Ale and Four-Leaf Clover

---

As for ideas of my own...hmmm...

Something like the Shamrock Ale and Four-Leaf Clover Special Item Drops but Easterish themed would be cool...Eggs could drop filled with ??? random amounts of gold or items that increase your Sweet Tooth title. (Didn't read through the entire thread so this may have been suggested already.)

1. Access to FoW and UW - just open it up all the time plleeesse
2. Access to elite missions - the same
3. Double dye weekends
4. Double insignia/rune drops

Suggestion.
Party Weekend. Double duration on Alcoholic drinks, Double duration of Sweets and double duration of party items such as rockets, snowmen summoners etc. Also enable them as drops.

Would be an excellent excuse to clear storage out, max some titles and clear storage out

Don't think that even that would cut it. The Quarry is The poster child of their fear of "segregating" the PvP player base.

I enjoy the Double Benefits most of all, although the gamer weekend was great fun too.

1) Hero Battle Weekend:
MUST.
MAKE.
CONSECUTIVE.
WINS.
(Or keep Hero Battles as one of the LEAST enjoyed PvP stuff)

2: Green Drop Weekends:
I like them, but please don't do these too often. Nevertheless very much appreciated as I am still trying to sell 100 greens.

3,4: Fame, Glads:
although I dont do PvP that much, I think it would be generally the most appreciated.

5. Explorer weekend:
All the weekends have had certain benefits to titles, except the Explorer titles. Lets have an Explorer weekend, with +50% permanent speedboost, no KD and spellimmunity while moving. (only PvE ofc)

4. Double faction in arenas and ABs/Aspenwood/Quarry
5. Rare chest loot

Weekend most wanted: Double Lightbringer points. Shanaeri Rynale's suggestion of a party weekend is also good.

1. Dyes (I would love this, but do not recall it happening?)
2. Rare (gold) drops
3. Unique (green) drops
4. Double Faction in Alliance Battles (or at Jade Quarry/Fort Aspenwood)
5. Double Hero XP

I agree with some of the above idea... double rewards from 'xp/point givers' at shrines would be nice and Ectos/shards drops All Over Weekend (plus greater chance of drop).

My favourite weekend events are still probably the special event ones (New Year, etc).
