So why does anet keep encouraging PvP way at getting the faction title, why can't they just double faction rewards just like they did 6 months ago.
Honestly it stupid, the main rewards for faction are:
PvE only skills
Elite mission Access scolls
Crafting Materials
Those all have pve uses, so why are they only promoting the pvp way to gain faction. And not ever all the pvp parts, FA and JQ are completely untouched, and will remain relatively barren for another weekend.
So to list what mean of faction that is not being touched:
Fort Aspenwood
Jade Quary
Challege missions, yeah all 4 of them in factions
Blessings
And repeatable quests.
None of have ever gotten a decent weekend, except for the blanket weekend that occured 6 months ago. I just getting sick of the favor anets give to AB, but won't to the other means of faction farming, which alot in the pve comunity prefer.
Thanks again for another weekend catered to the pvp part of the pvx title track.
Another AB weekend, why force pvp on a pve title track

well to bad AB sucks
street peddler
so you want anet to support fff over ab?
lol?
lol?

agree. why just giving a cookie to abers? wouldnt it be easier to roll in an all around 2x donations weekend like we had in May?
both abers and fffers would be happy
both abers and fffers would be happy

I like the idea of a "blanket" weekend better - where all faction is doubled, be it balthazar, kurzick, or luxon, and the way in which a person gets it would be irrelevant.

This is a damn good thing.
AB is fun pvp, If there were more server's I'd do it for 4 hours a day =P.
Double faction is nice, stop whining =P
Also, this just gives the factions campaign another kick at life.
Thats like saying double faction for GvG
Oh well why give a cookie to gvg'ers
Then we'd have a pve,vs pvp fight.
AB is accessible to all, and easier to moderate into =P

Why doesn't ANet do more different weekends?
Well actually, I can answer that question. ANet is too busy working on GW2; those who have any responsibility for GW1 are the slackers of the team, who are all too happy to just press the AB weekend button and not bother making any new weekends.

I think ANet should just stop doing weekend events so people will stop bitching about them.

They should just do a Set bar weekend.
in PvP, all your bars are set for you and locked.
Thus everyone gets some pre-made builds and can't switch in pvp.
And in Pve everyone gets Triple Gold drops!
therangereminem
the reason there doing this weekend , has somethign to do with a new way to spend faction, and it will be for the pvpers nothing to do with pve

All people ever do is whine about weekend events. I absolutlely love them, despite whether or not it directly affects me. Sure there will be events that I don't care too much for, such as double XP from elite caps, but most of the time it changes what I do during the weekend, whether it be HA, AB, RA, Farming cookies, etc...
Stop complaining about a bonus weekend FFS

OP: No one is forcing you to do anything.
Buried as Inaccurate... wait... I can't. Darn.
I enjoy AB's. And why should Anet appeal to the masses and scorn an aspect of the game that has become sort of a niche area to play in? And who knows, maybe AB is more popular than you think.
As some have already stated, stop complaining about these special weekends already. I'd rather have a special weekend every once and a while that I can enjoy rather than have none at all.

ex.
1 double faction donations weekend (which counts as a 2x ab weekend + bonuses for ppl who play factiong pvp)
then three 2x ab weekendsin few months.
i love ab weekends, but would love other ones aswell

Doubling faction is a poorly though out idea, think of FFF twice as quickly... instead how about doubling/tripling faction from the challenge missions?
Most people don't even seem to know about Amatz Basin and the Aurios Mines, much less where they are. Both only have people who are vanquishing, farming, w/e, and both are usually empty anyways.
And a side-note about the AB weekends, if you're kurzick it usually takes 5-10 minutes to get a game xD

Ab is very popular, problem is, lack of servers.
Thus less people tend to play because they don't want to wait.
But we all know, theres a little bit of everyone who loves going to salt spray and screaming
GET THE RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOIN DRAGON !!!
LUXONS are mobbing! Lulz Noobs!!! Wait...thats no mob...Its Dual MM's
RUN !!

A.net can't stop now though. They have become too much of an institution for them to be stoped.

The Faction titles are effectively irrelevant, IMO, and their linked skills with them. Speaking as a PvE player I'm not going to PvP for Faction, and the Faction gain from PvE methods of gaining it are simply too small to make it worth bothering with. FFFing feels cheap to me, but earning it "honest" involved more grinding than any other title in the game by a mile. My solution has been to completely ignore the title and the skills associated therewith, but it'd sure be nice if Anet decided to be reasonable about this.
All that said, bitching about a bonus weekend doesn't make much sense to me, it's not as though Anet's under any obligation to give us anything at all in this regard.

I quit AB due to the wait times and server issues. I used to love playing. Its a pointless weekend imho if it does not double all faction gains because as Racthoh says below, you'll still make better time elsewhere.
Racthoh
AB is fun, waiting to get into a match however is not. Despite the double rewards for ABing you could probably still get faction faster using one of the pve methods.
Seraphic Divinity
I may be wrong here, but don't they allow for more matches in AB at a time during Double AB weekends.
I'm sure they would, but again, I may be mistaken.

I love how things have gone off topic to quickly, the point is why the weekend with bonuses toward the Kurzick/Luxon title track is favor toawrds AB weekends, which will occur 3 times in the past 6 months, on june 8, sept 25, and now this up coming weekend, instead of:
"Double Luxon/Kurzick Title Points -- 26 June 2007
This weekend, get double points towards your Luxon and Kurzick alliance titles starting at Noon Pacific (-7 GMT) on Friday, June 29. Receive double points for transferring 1,000 faction for Jadeite or Amber, for exchanging 3,000 faction for an alliance skill, and for transferring 5,000 faction to raise your alliance's reputation. The bonus ends at 11:59 PM Pacific on Sunday, July 1."
Which only have occured once in the history of weekend events.
I think it rediculous that faction farming is only be promoted in pvp only when the title has PvE benofit.
I just want Balance.

BMP will be out then, and they needed something to satisfy the people who couldn't get it, but lets not drag this topic down that path way.
=DNC=Trucker
Yes, it would be cool if they extended the double faction to the Kurz/Luxon blessings at the shrines. That way PVE only players can get a boost in their PVE only skills (doh that makes too much sense)

Seems like 90% of the bonus weekends are for PVP one way or the other anyway which is unfair to say the least. They should just pull the plug on the bonuses and fire the extremely bias PVE hating weekend planer.

did I miss something by being at work? This is about this coming weekend?

If you're not running an organized group with good players, I agree with you. The waiting time to play kills your rate of faction gain if you have to rely on winning at Saltspray/own territory.

I love the people complaining because their fff isn't being doubled.
It's something that shouldn't be in the game at all, let alone have a double weekend.

Allegiance is a PvP title. The mistake was when Anet added PvE-only rewards to it.
Nonetheless, since "Save Yourselves!" is not going to magically become a Sunspear skill overnight, double blessend weekend plzkthx

Why shouldn't the fff get bonuses, I mean it the only method of getting max rank in a decent amount of time, which 500 hours really isn't a decent amount of time.

weekend event = noone will notice the BMP isnt out yet... oh wait, everyone is noticing still...
anet idea = fail

Ahh, someone starts a thread complaining about the upcoming weekend event...
It must be Tuesday.

Legendary Shiz is saying the truth.
FFF is an exploit and Anet shouldnt encourage it.
on the other hand FA, jade Quary and the other pve coop mission should also get double factions

GOD FORBID they finally give something to PvP.
But yeah AB sucks. I wish they'd promote good PvP, like Hero Battles.
...wait.

The reason they do the weekends is to encourage people to try other stuff so dont complain about it go and do sum ab if u want the weekend to be a benefit to you. If not then stop complaining about them and go do wht u always do.

AB is to PvP like go-kart racing is to the Indianapolis 500. It falls under the same category as RA, a bunch of disorganized people with bad builds beating on each other while some griefer laughs at some moron's attempts to kill his "invinci" character. I don't know why they promote it at all.
