At the end of the login announcement about the special St. Patriks themed week, anet says, "And remeber- Think green!"

Do you guys think this may have a hidden meaning that greens will drop more?

Or that the emerald blade will drop more or something?

Or am i probablly just looking to deep into a simple St. Patrics day gesture?

Maybe we shouldn't get worked up speculating about the possibilities.

It's A-Net's way of telling us to be more environmentally friendly.

probably just gonna be more booze and clovers. Hat or mini would be pretty cool though. Or even just some special quests.

wow, um, yeah i think you're looking too deep...

Usually anet isnt that cryptic. If you see how they handle stuff, they either say it straightforward, or ignore it all together.

Why speculate? Just wait a weekend and all will be clear.

Which basically means you still have little or no chance of seeing or getting a green drop.

Are hops vegetables? If so, bring on the ale!

Possibly anything related to St. Patrick's Day (shamrocks, ales, greens, green dyes, possibly more gold?)

I think it would be funny if only Mesmers wearing all green with a green shelaleigh (sp?) dancing while drunk on Sunday every 3 hours would get something.

I highly doubt that ANet would ever do something so sneaky and unfair as that, but it would still be funny.

Well, I don't think that that would happen. It's to much of a longshot.. But yeah, it would have been nice^^

The same thing happened last year, but they used something like "you might get lucky" and people were screaming about how it might be double gold drops.
Just check this thread, only special drops are problably consumable items, but that's it. Otherwise ANet would specifically say so...
