Give PVE players a chance to use old nerfed tricks again.
1) Allow MM's to gain as many minions as possible, no cap (Pre Factions)
2) Allow tank to hold aggro by standing out in front of group (Sorrow Furnace)
3) Pets leave corpses (Tombs)
4) Give the necro's the full Soul Reaping benefits
I'm thinking one of each type of nerf per weekend.
I'm sure there are plenty of other things that could be brought back.
PVE Weekend only

No. That's dumb. They changed it for a reason.

Because those us of who PVE and have played for longer than a few months remember, how much fun these used to be. If you don't play PVE or weren't around, you couldn't possibly understand.

If you want to do something as imba as that, go play Ursan.

I'm controlling 100 minions!
I'm using Blood of the Master!
I'm Dead!
You do realize that if this happened, Anet would have to unnerf some skills...

Ah, so many nerfs need to be un-nerfed, but this isn't the way to do it.

You're totally right. But let's make it better. TNTF + SoL go back to original durations or shorter. Double the power for each. Double the power for ALL PVE ONLY SKILLS, including Ursan, Raven, and Volfen. Take away the minion and soul reaping caps, and what do you get?Let's have the weekend and let the people decide XD.

1) Needing an unlimited number of minions is pointless. PvE isn't so hard you need a massive minion army to get through it.
2) That still works. All about positioning.
3) Not necessary.
4) Necromancers are fine as they are. Nobody who plays a necro ever complains about soul reaping.
So recap, it would be a pointless waste of time to update the game purely for nostalgic purposes. Even if it is for a weekend.

"Gear tanks" were the dumbest thing in all of GW history, a pure AI exploit, and I'm ashamed to admit I'm one of the people who invented it, or at least one of the first to report it in the forums - but I could never believe that it'd take ANet until the release of Factions to fix it.
The "soul reaping nerf" put a cap on necro energy gain so the can no longer gain more than the equivalent of 10 pips of energy (at 12 soul reaping). It amuses me to no end when I hear necros claim that made the profession unplayable.
Pets leave corpses: Was exploited in PvP, but of no consequence in PvE, so I don't know why you mention it in this context.

Dumbarse idea, predicated on the notion that all that stuff was changed to the detriment of PvE. It wasn't. Had MMs never been nerfed, we never would have gotten missions in NF and Factions with the huge waves of enemies we have right now. Can you imagine Vizunah Square with an unnerfed MM? What the imba crap would that be? And, believe it or not, PvE does get balanced. It's something they've upheld for 2 and a half years before dropping the ball (and refusing to pick it up) for some unfathomable reason with UB.

No. This would just lead to more crying and demands to make the changes permanent once the weekend ended. All of those updates were done for balance.
