What is your Favorite Weekend Event?

For me it's the Unique Green items drop rate increased x3.

The other one would have been the one that they just did for Gaile recently as those honeybuns (lol sorry I forget their names right now) are excellent goodies +5% morale across the party boost.

What's yours?

Double AB weekends. Matches have less wait times, more matches to play, more rewards, more bad builds to mock in alliance chat

Yes I do have a guild, Thanks for asking

I would say the St Patricks Day weekend or Easter or something like that as it just makes farming more fun

The gamer weekend is ma fav, one of the few titles that cant be 'farmed'.

Also whats not fun about shooting people with one hit kills or snowballs

PvE:
Double (anything related to chests)

PvP:
Double Glads and Double AB, both for the reasons Kamara gave and because I also make decent amounts of Blath faction on those weekends.

Event:
All of them are good. Wintersday for snowballs, anything with dragon arena or roller beetles, and Cantha or Halloween for the hats.

Made up:
3x green dye drops!

Double AB weekends for sure.

It's great when it's double Faction from AB, and it's in Ancestral Lands. Luxons seem to fight more zealously to keep it there for more Faction for us

As a luxon, I love it when the 2x reward weekend stays at ancestral lands for a while. Seriously, 5k for each win is so much fun

(And Kanai Canyon please when we switch to Kurz)

Quintuple reputation, faction, SS, and LB, please. Grind sucks.

Halloween is still my favorite. I like Wintersday and some of the other events, too. Don't care one way or the other for any of the non-event weekends.

Double AB weekends. Purely because flocks of idiots are ten fold and its awfully fun to point and laugh.

I like the big ones Halloween/Christmas, but beyond those I rarely bother with the events. Much rather go on a pub crawl. Slap some booty, and get wrecked

AFK-fest at Shing Jea.
The only title I care about (well outside of the sweet Sweet Tooth) - so that's what I enjoy most.
Well ... enjoy ... might be a wrong term.
I LOVE the results of such weekends.

Shing Jae Boardwalk weekends are my favorite because I'm hardly ever able to play during the weekend. Nine Rings FTW!

agree on that one...
altho, the "basic rank" has just changed from 9/10 to 11/12 now...
and champ only means something when you're like 4+ anyway..


anyway:
I realy like double glad weekends ^^

1. Increase gold drops from chest – makes chest running less painful when farming lucky points.

2. Increased rep. in EotN since it makes it less painful trying to get armor and skills.

3. Special drop weekends that actually provide in game bonus – cup cakes, four leaf clovers, eggs, and ale (use it for farming Oola’s lab, not needed but helps).

I really liked the Gaile farewell weekend since it allowed me to max Party Animal!
Since that is maxed, booze is maxed, sweets is maxed and I don't do PvP I would have to say double golds from chest weekend.
