And to think there couldn't be a more pointless event than Double Skill Capping?
I'd be fine with double Lucky points...except that each rank requires atleast 50 thousand freaking points...you need 50000 points just to get to Rank 1!
That's 100 Lockpick saves. For a person with low lockpicking, that's 1000 chests just to get the minimal benefit. I don't think it's possible to open that many chests in a weekend.
If ArenaNet really wanted to do a good weekend, double the lockpick retention rate!

Hm, look at the numbers... 500 versus 50. That tells you something, doesn't it? 50, which adds up fairly quickly, and 500, which they probably don't want you to get as quickly.
There's gonna be a lot of broken, wasted lockpicks this weekend.

I think they should triple the points to 1500 or 1000 in order for us to get close to Lucky title?

just a comment...
It feels like these Lucky point benefit items are are on the low side with the max tier of Lucky being 2,500,000 (as far as we know).
Four-leaf Clovers... 4 points IF you get the 15% dp removal. 4 points? Those aren't available as drops anymore and I imagine most people are saving the ones they have left for their own use in HM. A real 'lucky prize' may be something like 1,000 points if you hit the 15% and scaled down for any other percent.
Lockpicks... 250 points IF it doesn't break (500 this weekend?). Leaving out the fact that mine break on first use almost every time, it seems like it should be... how about 250 just for using and 1,000 if retained.
Rings games are only available every so often and I guess they're mainly a gold sink. The Nine Rings 'big winner' per round could use buffs over 25, 40 and 55 though.
just suggestions

Besides your Anet bash, This weekend is still usefull as well. I mean if your going for the title, might as well do it this weekend, work on THREE titles at the same time.

Hyperbole aside, do you seriously think that people will think "OMG, thank you ArenaNet, I've always wanted to spend an entire weekend (plus several million gold) to get titles which have no effect other than to allow you to spend not as many milllions of gold?!

Hey guys. Have anyone tried using lockpicks on lower end chest in normal mode? According to Guildwiki, those chests has inherent higher probability to keep lockpick intact. If it's true, maybe I'll be lockpicking all those Istani chest...maybe worthwhile. And this weekend may not be so dumb after all.

Lol! I haven't even SEEN a freakin lock pick, so big deal.

Well, to all you forum hags who complain about each and every weekend event: what the heck do YOU care for? It's not like you all even play GW...
To the rest of us, as usual, we play how we wanna play and if the event enhances our fun, cool, if not, no loss.
Sir Skull... you're gonna 'get lucky', right on... lol

Otherwise, not at all. It seems that Anet is running out of ideas for these weekends.

Golden profit ages for Faction Outpost Owners...
Buying lockpicks at their reduced price of 1.200g, selling them at 1.300g in LA and such... The competition, the competition...! Perhaps the prices will go down to 1.250g/each?

People have already spent millions of gold afk-ing the Lucky titles; to make them too easy to get with items would devalue the money those people spent. I like that we're getting more ways to earn points towards these titles, as I just can't bear to afk them during festivals.
Just like other weekend events, if it doesn't apply to you, it's not like ANet is forcing you to chest run this weekend...just play how you would play if *gasp* there were no special weekend, and stop complaining.

the advantage given by lucky title is already crappy. The difficulty in getting each level only adds to what's already a dumbass mechanic.

I'll say again Zinger. Don't complain about something that doesn't affect you at all.
There was once a time when a.net didn't have weekend events every weekend. The world got by fine then. Things didn't go straight to hell if a.net didn't provide you with a "weekend event."

Wake me up when they do another x2 fame weekend. Then I could finally get my account to Rank 3 (currently rank 1 with 54 fame).

Mr. G

I want to see a weekend where you get unlucky points for NOT haveing keys for a chest
nothing makes you think "dam thats unlucky" when you see a chest and realise you have no picks

Hehe at least i'll be able to get those 600 unlocky points i need for Unlucky 
And do note that normal mode chests with let's say 600 gold hey costs have a base 40% to retain your lockpick, the lower the key cost the more you can retain.
So.... i wonder will anyone be running ascalonian or shing jea chests?

northern shiverpeak chests for me...chance at a gold...and most golds that drop from them have nice or max mods...

I didn't like the idea of the lockpick percentage being related to the lucky title in the first place...
this doesn't help.
