AB weekend, still another junk weekend for a faction farmer
Shadowmoon
Been waiting for 3 months until they decided to give a weekend event for Kurzick/Luxon title grinders. Last time they did it was double for any faction turned in. If you look AB is only 1 of many ways to grind this faction, so why is this being favored over challege missions, repeatable quests, and the blessings. Why not just make everyone happy by returning the double factions reward weekend instead of the AB weekend. Remember Kurzick/Luxon is a PvE title trake now, with the PvE skils being the big indicator. Yeah i know it pvx, but i think most people started grinding it for the pve skills, using pve methods.

probably just want people to play together more. not that AB pugs are even close to social most of the time, but hey, it's a shot i guess.

I figure double rep points will be when HM comes around. Oh well.
But i do agree, the double reward for the title track is a much better idea, although i kinda figured we would have GW;EN weekends:P Or at least game wide ones.

AB weekend is not that bad, since I can grind for faction for my Black Moa Chick

Does this grant x2 Balth AND K/L, or just K/L?
It's good for me either way, I can finally get around to getting stupid "Friend of the" titles regardless, but extra B would certainly sweeten the pot.

yeah I agree......double every K/L faction reward. That's being artificially overlimiting, only AB. Get more people involved by opening that up.
Effendi Westland
Yay, double faction weekend in AB, been waiting for that one 
Hope it's balthazar+K/L faction that is doubled.

To be honest an AB double faction weekend doesnt make that much of a difference, as you have to wait twice as long for a game anyway.

Yippie Double Faction Yippie Double The LEACHERS Yippie
Not to sure why everyone get excited for double ab when all that means is More People standing around and better yet (MORE 4 GROUP PARTYS WAITING 2 HOURS FOR 1 AB WOOOT) now that sounds like fun. LOL. not

Why Double AB rewards doesn't give double rewards:
1. Flooded AB servers making it take twise as long to get into a game.
2. It is only if you win, get a leacher team, and there will be tons this weekend, then u are one team short, chances to win are very much lowered.
So baxically are the mercy of the game timer, and even if u have a guild team, u still have to gamble on what the other 2 teams are.

You have to gamble on what the other 2 teams are. Yes, you do, but everybody assumes that the other side will always have 3 full teams, which most definitely will not be the case. I'll still participate in this, regardless. Sometimes I like watching my guild leader get owned in a matter of seconds..

I like Doulbe K/L Faction weekends
Too bad it's in the middle of my testweek >_>
f**k the exams, I'll get some faction.

Both Kurzicks and luxons will have leechers, so we are still equal.

Getting in this weekend should go smoothly.

That's my proof. We have all the groups we need joining but still need to wait.

A more likely reason (although not anymore supported) is only a certain amount of games can be created at any given interval. This would help curve the load the servers take when they move players between different areas.

i probably participate along with my guild....but chances are the lag will probably end up chasing away most people.
EinherjarMx
it would be great if they implement the antileech code on that weekend,
BlackSephir
This is... kinda dumb.
Unless AN will implement anti-leecher and anti-leaver system before this weekend, it won't be double AB faction weekend- it'll be triple leecher weekend

Burning Blade
as a AB dweller for a long time, I really appreciate this weekend event.
Just like others, I fear this weekend will be heaven for lag as well as leechers. God I hate leechers so much that whenever I see one in a match, I keep cursing him even when the matche has ended. LOL

Double leecher weekend, here we come!
ValaOfTheFens
I can finally get a decent amount of faction. IDC about leechers unless there are more than 2 or 3. Any more than 3 and we can't cap effectively.
cebalrai
You also can't cap efficiently when the other team has more cappers due to your leechers.

Hi,
I think that there are things in the queue that you don't know about quite yet, and that will make this weekend more relevant. I'm not saying that anyone, personally, will like it or not. But there is a reason why it has been scheduled. I hope you'll enjoy.

W00T, the anti-leeching code is gonna debut! Or beta-test at least. That's great news, thanks Gaile!

Nah, just kidding. If it's really anti-leecher system then good job.

One can dream... prolly just the anti-leech code like cebalrai said.

this is why i think AB waiting time will be longer than usual (a very generalised and simplistic example)
Say each district holds 60 (a fair guess, but is probably less) people, and that all these people are in a 4 man team, meaning you have 15 teams waiting to go in each district. I assume these teams are placed in a queue according to who pressed "Enter Mission" first.
Now say you get your team together in District 4, as 1,2 and 3 are full, and you gogogo!
For simplicities sake, your team is the last one before the districts full, and you click your "Enter Mission" button last out of all of those teams in all the other districts, which means that your team is 60th in line.
A game starts every 30 seconds picking out the first 3 in the queue before it gets to the next 3. Being team 60 in line at this point leaves you waiting 10 minutes before you even get to play.
Now i'm not saying "You're going to wait 10 minutes for every game to start!", but I really doubt it will be smooth to get into.

Waits in AB is caused by lack of opposing teams really. Easy map = long wait, hard map is short wait. If you want to solve that problem, play AB and make sure you win

My guess is that the anti-leaver/leecher system will be implemented this week.
Makes sence to test this with a weekend-event that is legendary for both.
