Double SS + LB weekend
Numa Pompilius
I mega-owned myself yesterday.
I was grinding for norn points, and after five or so hm vanquishings of Varajar Fells my brain was slowly melting to goo. That's my excuse.
After I'd completed the vanquishing, I went to Kerrsh to renew the aspect quest, clicked OK on his quest without reading the text... and got a reward.
I had forgotten to abandon the quest.
There went my chance of ever maxing norn reputation, double or not, in one brainfart of a click.
Or is there any other area in the game which yields about 6.5K norn points per hour?
As for Sunspear... I got to rank 9 by desolation-grinding, and that's when I realized that it's further from 9 to 10 than there is from 0 to 9. That realization just knocked the wind out of me. There are limits to how much boredom I can take for a title.
EDIT: Remember the days when GW was the mmorpg without mind-numbing grind? Those were the days, huh?

As for SS/LB, THANK GOD THIS WEEKEND HAPPENED. I have been putting off finishing my warrior and starting my paragon, so this is good motivation, although I'd rather be DoAing

I'm thinking lots of maxed titles this weekend. Hooray for (even more) constant favor!
The Great Al
What the hell is the point of complaining that you maxed the title last week, or yesterday, or whenever. I'd rather be done with it than have to grind 5-10 more hours this weekend. Some people here do nothing but complain.
Tender Wolf
Glad I've got 2 accounts. lol I farmed my butt off to get them maxed on Tender, now I have Starli's to work on.
Kerwyn Nasilan
Thanks A-net!, now just add a Double Reputation Weekend and I will give some newbys in Shing Jea money
Nyktos
Right when I roll a new Prophecies toon
Marty Silverblade
Nice, I know if I want to get my next KoaBD rank, this is one of the easiest things to max and I really should do it. If only it wasn't so damn boring. At least this makes up for it.
It's still a shame that I didn't realise that there was a run that gave both SS and LB points, because I got R10 SS by grinding outside Gate of Desolation... Grr, oh well.

a few questions for all those hardcore LB+SS rank farmers. one, how much faction for each will i get per wurm-outside-of-remains run during the double weekend, and do you think i have a chance of getting from r7 SS and r3 LB to max this weekend?

I'm R6 now but still have a way to go til R7. |

Anyone in Kamadan, LA, or KC will see it when you max out. I think it shows up in your chat box too. Can't look at my pics right now, so can't be for sure.
prism2525
Great I only have like 3.5k to max SS and.. 20k for LB.
Still doable i guess.

I really wish the LB/SS fast farm (or even hard mode) had been known when I put my ele through NF. Because of my habit of completing all the side quests I never had the two quests available for HM, I farmed most of mine in the Domain of Secrets before HM came out.
Oh well, might as well do it on my paragon I guess, should generate a goodly amount of drops and cash at the same time.

There's another place to farm LB in RoT, but of course, like most that I should keep, I've already done the quest that I need. I still have the SS/LB quests out of pure luck.
I'm totally taking advantage of this weekend, but the truth is, I'm kinda dreading it. LB farming is freaking boring and I've yet to find a place that I can do more than two runs and not start drifting off into my own world. Hmm, guess I'l have to get someone on Skype or TS to keep me aware.

/favor is almost at 10.000 minutes and it goes up by 700-800 each hour.

Nittle Grasper

Yeah I gave out a WTF when I stepped into ToA this morning.

I wonder if anyone's reported A-Net for all of the "So-and-so has achieved "Holy Lightbringer" type spam in LA. Every 5-10 seconds someone's maxing out one of those titles. Hehe!
Lest121
17000 mins of Favor as I am writing this now.
Ruricu
You all better go farm UW/FoW soon, there's only 12 days of favor left.
Death By Ketchup

I did the math, it probably changed though. We were getting 18 minutes of favor every minute and I figured out how much we would have by tomorrow night, midnight PST. 41000 minutes of favor by then, we'll see if I'm right. Probably not, but probably close. 28 days of favor for 41k minutes.

Anet must be aware of the huge amount of PvE players this week. So they should make more PvE weekend rather than those stupid GvG/HA 2x faction.
