N1ghtstalker
they dont specify wich faction is going to be doubled
i'm guessing it's for balthazar and the lux/kur faction

Great, AB will be even suckier this weekend, I hate double PvP reward weekends.
Larcen
Gay. Do they ever have a double Kurzick/Luxon weekend, or just through the PVP part of it?
On Volt
If they say its double AB, then it's probably gonna be double Balthazar and double Luxon/Kurzick Faction 
Dronte
Just in time 
I like this event (hopefully double kurz/luxon+balth as usual), and wtb double rare chest drops next weekend plz xD

Been doing a little AB this week, just because I felt like it. Another one of those 'at the right time' weekends. (Last one like that was 2x exp for using cap sigs when I was finishing up a LSH title)
Danax
My favourite.
Kattar
Cool, I needed the extra amber. Z-keys are a bonus too.
Seems like they always do these right as my interest in AB is waining.

Although i am ready for an AB weekend - and need to work on my Faction title - I was kinda hoping for a PvE weekend event - oh well maybe next week
HawkofStorms
I really wish A.net would specify WHICH faction this bonus is applying too. Oh well, we will find out for certain in a few days.
Res Ipsi
Bah, I was hoping they'd have an event for double faction (Kurz/Luxon) some time soon - but I hate AB. Doubley so on double-faction weekends.
stretchs
One would hope they mean at least Kurz/Lux faction as that is the main reason most people play AB
Alexandra-Sweet
Kind of having deja vu here, didn't we have this weekend some time ago?
WinterSnowblind
Didn't we just have a PVP weekend? I thought it alternated.
Kattar
There was a double lux/kurz weekend a few months back, yeah.
Can't remember if it was double balth or not too.

As for weekends being a repeat, very few of them are something new, we have recycled most of the weekend ideas many times.
As for alternating, ab is more a function of pve than pvp really, as most people who say they pvp would never be speaking about ab, whereas it is 1 of the first areas many players got to kill their 1st fleshy opponent if they didnt start in prophecies

As long as the weekend isn't as lagtastic/delaytastic as prior AB weekends, I'm all over it.

AB and waiting, those 2 things go hand in hand. AB could be one of the more fun things for people to do but the waiting really does ruin it over time, waiting 10-15 timer resets to get into one battle, then have 3-4 people on your team having afk'd because of the wait so you get rolled 500-100 and get shite for faction only to have to wait another 10-15. Or even better you are deep in the oppositions end and you see across from you several guild teams, the outlook is bleak to pickup a win there as well
Kattar
Yeah but with more people presumably playing since it's a double weekend maybe the regular problems faced in AB won't be so bad?
Minus mobbing, no one actually capping, etc. of course.

Good timing, i was just looking to increase my faction rank.
Squishy ftw
great.
I can fill up my awesome build screenshot map again.

heh, the more people doesnt really make it better unfort, you remember during factions early days when the waiting was just as bad, when it isnt one of those weekends i seem to be able to get in much easier. We used to go in with 2 guild groups all the time and would wait on avg 10 minutes, was one of the most annoying parts of gw
Croco Clouds
I am about to get R4 luxon, good timing!
Esan
AB is PvE anyway.
pkodyssey
I need to switch our guild to a Luxon guild cause I am all filled up on Kurzick! Yea! for maxed titles. What a boring grind that was.
Sir Pandra Pierva
you only wait till 10-15 resets
damn when do you get on?
I had to wait 2 hours once to get into an AB map..........i only got 1 in that weekend spent the rest of it TA/RA ing.
Allthough I did like the arena weekend with all the dervish idiots in there who think that aob with 5 enchants owns. so many easy glad points that weekend for monking

Awesome, let's have a double faction event when there's a glitch glaring in our faces. Instant 5k wins for Kurzicks in Kaanai Glitch The Map Canyon anyone?

Hmm maybe I'll actually do AB this weekend... if the map isn't constantly at Grenz. I seriously hate that map. And for once I'll be in front of MY computer and not the junk my grandparents have.
Dark-NighT
Good, something to do for my pvp whatever char, must say its always fun to have some numchucks staying in your aoe damage all the time.
cosyfiep
another weekend, and another one I have nothing to do during....means I will get to finish some of nf or eye (I am not part of an alliance, doubt they would even take my guild if I could apply since I am only a 'member'; and I dont pvp).
hope they give us another green drop weekend again soon-----

What's the way to win in AB? Capping
What does capping involve? Killing AI NPCs
What's the opposite of killing AI NPCs? Killing PCs
What's killing PCs known as?
a) PvP
b) AB mobbing
c) AB fail
d) All of the above
See how easy it is to prove anything with just a bit of logic?
