Yup.

Maybe they could animate one of those cartoon-like explosions when an over-packed closet explodes, because at the end of the weekend, that'd be me.

Screw that.

Give me my PROPER triple experience weekend so I can finally get LDoA on my Pre-Sear character and get her out of that demented nub-hellhole!

We don't want some triple chance crap-collection weekend! Most of the GW:EN green skins suck anyway.

hmm 3x the number of greens? while 3x sod all is still sod all, which is what I've had so far from drops and chests.

Nah, I just want a weekend event where I have devmode unlocked.

Or where the merchant buys my items for a fixed price of 100,000 gold.

Nah. People would complain they were doing something else that weekend and demand they do it again for 6 months.

Argh... please not the dungeons chests! I want another astral staff, not Ilsundur's junk greens. And I definitely don't want Fendi's painfully ugly green staff again.

I want a "New Content Weekend" .... where they will continually add more quests... and maybe more skins for more weapons, since weapon skins aren't half as awkward to make as armour skins....

Quests though? Barely any effort at all.

I don't know about everyone else, but I got zero greens the last time there was a triple drop weekend. Wasn't for lack of trying either.

I hope it is dungeon chests. I want an Arachni's Scythe for a screenshot with my dervish in Melandru form.

What is the point in farming for the GWEN greens? Hero weapons, maybe.

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/List_...h_unique_items

Chest drops - nobody knows if chests are affected. Also, farming a dungeon is not really possible. Slavers' was probably the last dungeon that could be "farmed". Then we are limited to the "boss" greens dropped by bosses...

Now this limits our choices to:

Axes: ZERO (15% enchanted is not sexy, the others are chest/dungeon drops)
Swords: ZERO
Hammers: ZERO
Spears: ZERO
Shields: ZERO
Bows: Nooseknitters Flatbow in Riven Earth, Koren's Hornbow Lake Drakkar (if you really like Hornbows), Destructive Hornbow (again Riven Earth), Ashlyn's Shortbow (Magus Stones)
Staves/Wands/Foci: Healing Staff, the Wingshielder (Dalada Uplands), Bredyss Staff, Curses (Magus Stones), Avarr's Scepter (Death 20/20 Wand),
Daggers: Claws of the Broodmother, Riven Earth
Scythes: Asterius Scythe, Varajar Fells, Miyish's Scythe, Lake Drakkar.

+ my favorite, and the only one I would farm for... though I rarely play my Ritualist anymore: Fozzy's Staff in Sacnoth. Yet I prefer Channeling Wand/Focus for my Rit. Hum.

So well, not so much worth getting out there. And most importantly, none of the bosses is farmable like say Sskai or the Scareater.


EDIT: So far two Claws of the Broodmother.

Seconded. Before the weekend, all solo runs:
Molotov Rocktail: 3 runs, 2 drops (mostly just killed him because he was there, I didn't want it).
Shons the Pretender: 2 runs, 1 drop
Horai Wingshielder: 3 runs, 1 drop
Chaelse Flameshielder: 1 run, 1 drop
Myish, Lady of the Lake: 2 runs, 1 drop

During weekend, all solo runs:
Anmat The Trickster: 1 run, 0 drop (again, just killed him because he was there)
Pywatt the Swift: 4 runs, 0 drop (a pain, too)
Molotov Rocktail: 10 runs, 1 drop (thought I'd make a quick buck since my other two sold; I was wrong)
Flannuss Broadwing(three man, a friend wanted it) 6 runs, 0 drop

It looks like there is still some farming code left in. All the people zoning back and forth to get the greens in a rush seems to have lowered drop rates. Before the weekend started, the greens were dropping like flys, at least for me.
