That's part of the point though isn't it? Attract players who might not normaly play, and maybe get a few more into it? Hard to grow if you don't attract noobs.

Looks like I'm HFFFing this weekend. Or Vanquishing. Or title seeking. Or doing anything else except this.

Thanks to ANet for a weekend that I don't care about. I can play the game normally now.

Yes but the chances they will win to actually get the reward points is fairly low. People who do it constantly, like Ekelon, will absolutly roll over these guys giving them tons of extra points. Might even turn more people off from trying it.

Well, I was pissed at missing the double EotN weekend.

This one, though Thanks ArenaNet for giving a weekend I won't even care about. This is not sarcasm, I'm glad about this.

I like how whenever there is a PvP weekend, EVERYONE posts with something like "cool, I can play something else this weekend", whereas when it's a PvE weekend, it's pages and pages of "OMG SO GOOD WOOOOOOO". Riverside biased much?

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

Great, I might give the Assassin v Assassin battles a shot. I'll go and set Zhed up as a mystic nuker, Xandra as a spirit spammer and Dunkoro as a SoR tank.

Or, I can run lame Grenth's Aura spike in GvG... or sinsplit. I'm spoiled for lame choice.

Well, AN made us get used to "every weekend's something special" but they can't make "play normaly" weekend.
So they made this.
Thank you AN. Really.

You get the majority of idiots in Riverside, to be honest.

I like this weekend. More GvG teams. Tab and I developed some sealed play builds, and while they're not the best, they'll be fun to play and experiment with, especially considering how many teams should be out there.

As for you people saying, "Great, a weekend I can blow off", whatever man. Who cares about your LB/SS/EotN point weekends?

This is like one of the best weekends ever. I'm going to have so much fun.





























Doing something else! HAHAHAHAHA.

Regardless the only weekends that matter to me are double rare drops from chest.

Dumb weekend. I rather have double chance of getting golds out of chests. Or a weekend where sweets/party items drop. It's not like anyone PvPs anymore.

HB has always been full of noobs. There is no difference to anyone in top 100-150 if there are more this weekend than usual. They'll still get top 2-3 depending on group and still get double points. They won't get "tons of extra points" as opposed to if there weren't a lot more noobs playing.

I always pretty much failed at HB, because I refused to run the Sin meta. But in AT's I there were always new players and I would finish in the mid range and get a few points, So i'll go do some of those this weekend, be cannon fodder for a few people, beat a few newer players and get a few RP's.

Here's the deal though, there are 3 AT's per day, thats 9 total for the weeknd for HB and GvG, not alot of opportunity to play. I wonder if there is any chance that they will dbl the amount off tournies.

Are QP's doubled as well I wonder?
