Not that I'm complaining. Hopefully they are busy fixing soul reaping, hero AI in HM, the strange disappearing drops in HM, or maybe even more ambitious things like a proper trade system........
But there is an event team, and this would break a pretty lengthy event weekend streak. If it's as easy as flipping a switch for triple greens, double faction/LB or sunspear, etc, then why not?
Maybe they are late getting the word out. Or something?
Again, it's no biggie......kinda nice knowing I don't need to farm my brains out while it lasts.
No weekend event?

Don't know about you, but when I log into Guild Wars, it says on the announcement prompt that this weekend will be another double XP from capturing elites weekend.
I'm hoping it's true, because my mesmer wants her legendary survivor

Might as well be no weekend.
I'm sitting on 250 skillpoints, 50 of those were obtained just through Hard Mode missions. Which Skill Hunters are that strapped for EXP?

ah no mention on the main site, or here........
but double xp from capping elites = no event for 99.99999999% of us

once you have elite tomes, there is even LESS point
oh well, this'll be my 'do something else besides play gw' weekend (which is welcome)

Heh...330 some skill point over here, on my monk. It would nice if we could get back some of the cash we spent on skills. Something along the lines of trading in extra skill points for 1K.
But yeah, double exp for capn' elites is kinda....usless.

I don't really care anyways, I never do the weekends usually.

Double xp while capping elites weekend again? I have 463 unused skill points on my warrior and everything unlocked.... So what's the point? Add something extra like double xp from elite skill capping and double festival tickets at the boardwalk, double tome and elite tome dropping weekend, double the chance of getting a gold/keys etc. You know, something fun?
Jhadur
Will be handy for my Survivor Dervish just got him to Sanctuary so will spend the weekend capping
Esprit
Double AB faction please.

I think they are discussing which minipets to give during E3.

While I'll admit that it's a pretty useless weekend, there ARE one or two people that it might benefit.
I have a friend that was recently capturing every elite he could, to get the next level of his Survivor title. He would've been pretty happy with this weekend, then.
Personally, I have useless XP coming out of my ears, and can't really say I care.

skill points need to go the way of the refund point
HawkofStorms
*Gasp*, remember when there weren't events every weekend and people still got on with their lives and played GW anyways? *gasp* the terror of not having triple heros exp weekend. Seriously, most weekend events are gimmicks and most hard core players will be playing either way.
fenix
Good for me, because I need more elites
Jamison0071
I guess I'm the only one looking forward to this weekend 
XvArchonvX
It's a good weekend to go for survivor title at least...not much use beyond that...
ThunderStruck
I'll hopefully be hitting Legendary Survivor on my dervish this weekend. About 90~ skill caps to go! 
Seef II
Useful for me, I'm playing a ranger through the three PvE campaigns now.

This weekend event is good for people that are going for their survivor title track. Otherwise, its just good XP.

punkypine
its pretty good for me, i need to cap alot of elites, this just gives me a reason to do it.
VGJustice
I'm pretty happy for this event. I'm in the process of going for all the skill capping titles, and the extra XP will be more than welcome (since I'm probably going to go for a PvE UAS shortly after that). The extra Skill Points will be *quite* welcome, even though I've already obtained over 200.

I give it a month or so before anything really interesting will happen update wise.
Sol Deathgard
I laugh every time they put this event up, because it usually happens just a few weeks after I've gotten every every elite. Happend in Factions, no in NF. But I'm glad this is something most of my alliance won't take part in, we've been trying to do DoA, Urgoz, or the Deep for weeks now but either we get double fame, have something to farm, ect. ect.

Lady Ana Stacia
Well personally I am looking forward to it. My mesmer will be able to finish off her Legendary Survivor with ease! 500k in xp to go!
Rocky Raccoon
I think a lot of people forget that new people come into the game all the time and it does mean something to them. Guild Wars isn't just for those who have played it since the beginning, besides if you need special events to play maybe it's time to find another game.

I'm looking forward to it. My survivor char is JUST about at level 2 and this will go a long way to getting her all the way up (-:

I personally hate that you don't post em on the official site. I almost never check the login screen, as I use auto-login. I check the official page much more often than the login screen announcements thus.
So yeah, boo for not posting them on the official site

Instead of having it 2 weekends in row why didn't they have a week long event for us weekend workers?
william1975
Would be far more useful an event if there was some way of using skill points othere than buying skills, once they are unlocked your character has no need for xp or skill points
This is not to say that i have unlocked everythign on every character, I'm just thinking of those that have done that, or don't wish to unlock every skill, as its awfully expensive already, just to capture all the elites it must be nigh on 300k
