Vanquishing Weekend: Sneaky Hint?

Now, as I'm sure most of you know, the bonus this weekend is double experience and gold from vanquishing. While this isn't that impressive by itself, one might look at anet's possible reasons for doing this as the result of said reward: much larger than average numbers of people going out and killing all the creatures in every vanquishable explorable area in the game. Why is this important? Supposedly, the design a weapon contest winners were supposed to have been implemented in January, and a quick look at my calender shows that January is practically at its end. If the new weapons have indeed been added, I'd say that there is at least a chance that they got implemented to some creature/mob somewhere that isn't being constantly farmed or otherwise killed, and hence hasn't been discovered yet. Therefore, it may be the case that anet is doing this vanquishing rewards weekend in order to expedite the discovery of said weapons.

Wall of text FTL,but I hope you are right.I hope they put it in some inactive area like last time.

Good point.
12chars.

Or maybe ANet is bad at weekend events?

Nice theory. Yet somehow, my faith isn't that high.

Perphas. Still, new weapons and what not usually get discovered VERY quickly without any subtle hint and are usually followed by lots of "I've seen it in game" or "Bad Photoshop, l2p noob" comments.

heh i could never have thought of that. Hopefully your r ight!

Or....it may be they will be downloading them to the dat with the regular Thursday update and make them live on Friday.

Meh...I dont see this being true...but we can hope.

I'm going to have to agree, but not 100%. Some have been good, some just get too repetitive.

My moneys on it's just another weekend event..

That would be pretty sweet and a good idea.. But I think your more smarter and creative than ArenaNet..

i hope they really did so... but as usualy i'll only be able to watch other how they'll seeling em as i never have luck to get something...

Quoting a wall of text right underneath said wall ftl.

On topic: Nice idea op, could be true.

KANE

Nice thinking, Id love to see the designs ingame. *runs off to check the winners*

If it's a bait to get the items : nice thing.(wether they are already there or not is irrevelant)
If it's a coincidence : should they be added on time it will be a pretty nice to know. By the way, does heroes get the exp from vanquishing?

This, pretty much. I guess I'll just keep an eye on the forums in case anything new pops up. :P

Sounds great, wonder what Gaile's opinion on this is??

maybe she can enlighten us as to if its true?
or why these items havent yet been implmented?

Can't you see anet is to busy with GW2? Those weapons will prolly be implemented in said month +1.

Well if they haven't told us they've added them specifically (like they did with the scribe for the Totem Axe), they'd prolly not confirm or deny this. But, if someone does find something this weekend, I'd be both surprised and impressed that ANet did something this tricky to get us to find it.

Mmmh...I don't really think that they would do such a thing for this reason....imoh, just another common week end event.
