I enjoy the Dragon Festival event. Don't much care one way or another for the little multiplied item/faction weekends, but I guess if you're going for them I like the double chest weekends. I like gambling now and then.

1. Double AB.
2. Double Lightbringer/Sunspear.
3. Double EotN reputation.

Those are the only weekends (other than party-type events) where I actively put down what I'm doing and focus on taking advantage of the weekend.

<--- Votes for double mini weekend

On topic, I remember participating in the double gold drop and triple green drop way long ago with my guildies. After that, I can't be bothered with all the events.

So far double rank events. (eoTn rep or the Kurz/Lux). I got from rank 5 to rank 8 in Norn because of that weekend.

I also like the events that drop items. I don't care for any of those titles so I just sell the mass drops I get.

Double reputation points.

I don't normally make a point to go out and hunt unless there's a specific drop I'm trying to get. Double rep encourages my guildies and allies to form full groups for some fun vanquishing.

I like the special item drop weekends. Kind of nice to have something different drop while out questing.

My favorite weekend would be:
Double points for unlucky and unlucky while you're opening locked treasures.

Money title item drops. Sweets, alcohol, and party pts. They should do a lockpick weekend with those drop rates, too.

Wintersday is great. But really, any event with a lot of different things to do is fantastic.

I like double [insert type here] points as much as the next guy, but Wintersday/Halloween are just flat-out fun.

All holidays, as then you can bit relax from normal gaming. But otherwise, I'd go for double AB. Why? Then you get all your lazy guild and alliance members to do some AB with you.

"Starting at Noon Pacific (-8 GMT) this Friday, you will have triple chance to receive a perma-ban for exploiting, botting and trading gwgold for real money. This boost will last till the shutdown of GW1 servers."

That'd be my favorite.

But anyways, double rare chest drop is no.1.

Double Rare Chest Drop is my favorite.
Free Access is my second Favorite.
All Repuation Weekends are my third favorite.
AB weekends are my fourth Favorite.
Then Holiday Weekends.

Followed by all PvE weekends, and then after them, all PvP weekends, and then finally at the bottom, GvG weekends.

Typo, or subtle commentary on your luck with lockpicks? I'd love to have another one of these weekends.

Double GvG, because of the whining

Just about any double PvP, because of the whining from people who don't PvP

Double PvP weekends are baed. Devaluation of titles, even Hero is beyond stupidity now.

Double grind weekends I like, though. Saves lots and lots of time.

I like most of them. Haven't tried to take advantage of the PvP ones yet, but any bonus and extra drop are nice.

The egg drops on easter were quite nice though. Made a nice dent in treasure hunter.

Was a typo.

I've maxed lucky last year december when I reached KOABD6. The double unlucky points would certainly be welcome. Maybe I'll make it to 250.000 sometimes. Maxing (500.000) unlucky is way too much.

Free FoW/UW access was great.
Double EotN rep points.
Double rare drops from chests that You Can't See Me pointed out. I forgot about that one, but it was nice for wisdom.
