When it comes to weekends like these im rather dissapointed, however Double Damage weekend wouldnt be to bad ^.^
Anyone wishing for more planned events such as festivals and such? If Tyria is the world, then why are there only like 3 holidays on the planet? Can't we have a 24th of Tyria day... or a God's ascent day or something?
Is anyone else wanting more creative weekends?
Do you want more "double Weekends"?

There's a Double Weekend each weekend so far, I'm not sure what you are complaining about.
There was a thread a long time ago, posted by Gaile Grey, asking for suggestions for weekend events. Although it reached about 700 posts, it was largely ignored.

I want a Maguuma Day. The jungle gets no love. Kinda like the Dragon Festival but based around jungle themes. Finale can include a mursaat mask. Give some motivation for sanctum cay run receivers to go through the rest of tyria

At the moment... double faction and double Sunspear would be nice.

What about quadruple tome drops?

I'd like to see a "treasure chest reset" weekend...

I like the small events every weekend. Not everyone are fitting for my play style, but they do focus me on something worth doing most of the times.
I hope to see a real (large) event soon, like Dragon Festival.

Less double weekends and more skill balances.... PLEASE

Some double weekends are ok and some completely don't make sense. Like this double Balth Faction weekend - Yay! i can buy even more Tournament Tokens to fill my storage with. Double Dyes at least had some use...
Orinn
Sure, keep 'em coming. I don't get much use out of the PvP ones, but not everyone will enjoy every single weekend. Given the choice between "something" and "Nothing," it's not a hard call to make.

Double or triple chance of tomes dropping, double or triple green item chances, double LB/SS would all be nice right now

Double the chance of NOT dying cause ofLAG weekend please.

Some of the double weekends are nice. Double drop rates of golds from chests, double key drop chance, double faction, double tomes, and things like that are all nice. It's when they really start to stretch it that it gets bad. Double XP from skill captures? Double XP from scrolls? I was waiting for double rubber-band lag weekend during that one stretch of mediocre events between Prophecies and Factons(or was it between Factions and NF)?
So, yeah, I like double weekends when they're on stuffs that's worthwhile. But don't expect me to jump up and down over an extra 5k XP from a skill capture or something.

I'd like to see the weekend where they skip the wierd little events and work on an in-game auction system. But, they've all but said to give up all hope of that ever getting put into the game...

And yes I like the double weekends, most don't concern me but if I have a better chance of a drop, I have a better chance to make a little bit more money or get cool items.

This double weekend got me into PvP for the first time. It's not that bad...

No more 2x it's time for every weekend to be 3x's or 4x's......

Honestly the only things I look forward to are the major events, the double (insert something here) weekends don't really affect me. And the double or triple drop weekends... I have such bad luck I never get anything 
And My treasure chests have not reset in the past 6 months or so I've had Night Fall... Perhaps the ingame randomizer just doesn't like me

I find it funny how people complain "less double weekends more skill balances" and "less double weekends work on the auction house instead"...
you realize that the weekend events probably take 2 minutes to setup before the main group goes home for the weekend...while skill balances and an auction house take large chunks of the development team...you're talking apples and oranges...
more events of all kinds for me...these little events on the weekends are just bonuses...no complaints here...

I would love to see more theme weekend like the Dragon Festival or Canthan New Year. These events are sooo much fun and a large part of what makes me love GW. I still remember the Christmas 2005 event - It was FANTASTIC! I took so many screen shots and explored the GW world a lot more. I realise these events aren't easy to implement as they must take a lot of work - including programming and lore which is clearly evident in the Canthan New Year event but they are worth it! These events are what makes playing in the GW community such a special experience. Double faction weekends are great but a far reach away from an actual event.
Even if only small things happened in certain places like maguuma for a week - like certain chained quests with a themed story once a year or something similair. Doesn't have to have a mask (although they are always a plus) it just gives players a reason to visit these dead places. These double weekends always seem to theme towards PvP or general chest drops etc which is fine but PvE lore is why I play this game and so much more could be done.

Yeah, double events are probably cheap to produce and I certainly enjoy the ones which relate to titles I am even vaguely interested in. More please.
Festivals are certainly more fun but I accept they take more effort to produce, and if there was one every week then they'd get pretty stale.

I'd like to see weekDAY events, someone seems to think that people only play on weekends and forget that there are many, many gw'ers that have obligations on the weekends and only play during the week.
So maybe a whole week long event....instead of just friday thru sunday (monday's get no love).

Double weekends = good. No harm done (except possibly to the egos of the OMG I M LEET I HAVE TIGER OR PHOENIX LOL bunch), and a nice treat on the weekends.
WinterSnowblind
I'm really hoping to see the Dragon Festival soon, I missed it last year, but I've really loved all the other events, they're just a lot of fun. They need to have one around now anyway, that way they have four spaced out pretty evenly through-out the year, but I definetely wouldn't complain if they did more.
I don't care for most of the weekends, but it's still nice that they take the time to do this for us. A few weeks back they had a similar weekend event in City of Heroes, and most gaming sites were acting like it was some huge ground breaking event. Guild Wars seems to take all the flak, and get none of the credit.

Phew, what about actually nice events which feature new content. It does not necesarily need to be huge stuff, one or two quests, new green item here of there.
Some areas are notorioulsly know for lack of content (like southern shiverpeaks having pretty much no quests, supposedly highend prohecies area Perdition Rock with abundance of bosses no green items at all.
"Green hunt event" - one previously greenless boss gets new green item. explorable area where boss is located gets expectionally good drops.
"Quest event" - new quest added, explorable area tied to that quest gets expectionally good drops.
expectionally good drops = double chest, double rare chance, double tome, double green (hell, even double faction/ss/lb) all at once, but only in said explorable area.
People returning for actually new content will be pleased, people wanting to farm their ass off will get it too, and since attention will be focused on one explorable area people will have way easier time to form groups for everything related to that area - vanquishing would get hot there.

Instead of double drop something weekends, how about a hero/hench get no drops weekend?

I'm hoping that we get a "triple fame in HA" weekend. I say that because I'd like to have a deer emote but I don't like PvP in general. At least this way, I can hopefully get the deer quickly and never have to PvP again. =)
Tiny Killer
I would be happy to see a "25 x Faction for Jade Arena" weekend.
Neo Nugget
I would like to see a double faction to things other than AB. I'm shocked we havent gotten a triple tome weekend, but have gotten a few triple green drop weekends.(which i wouldnt mind having again
)
