Since we have 27,000 favor we dont really need a one of those LB/SS type of weekends to boost it up. And we just recently had a pvp weekend. Do you think that since its been ages since they have that they will haev another double faction donation for kurzick/luxon faction? I would love one since the title grind is very slow and I doubt many people would max that in a weekend, but it would still be a major boost to the title for people who want it

I want a SS/LB weekend, it's been a long time since the last one. I'll take the double faction too.

Would be nice to have, but I do think alot of people would be able to finally max it out (Me included). But very doubtful they will have one anytime soon.

I'd love the alliance faction doubled. Also ss/lb doesn't sound too bad, since some of my friends need to max those titles

Double Factions Faction would be great if it's in the same weekend where they supposedly "try to eliminate grind". I'm hoping that all PvE-skills tied to titles are re-assigned so that maximum power can be achieved with non-max titles.

Did you know that maxing the Faction title takes 80 times more grinding time than the Sunspear title? It is an account title, but I know I don't have 80 characters.

Math:

Junundu HM Sunspear Farm:
~4k/hour, but max rank is 50,000 = 12.5 hours

FFF:
~10k / hour, but max rank is 10,000,000 = 1000 hours

1000 hours / 12.5 hours = 80 times more grind

Even if it was just 3 times more grind, the max faction rank should be about 375,000 and rank 3 is 400,000 Faction.

It would be really nice to have a weekend where the quest faction would be doubled or whenever you donate it gets doubled. Because maxing out the ally titles take forever, which I understand people don't want that to be easy.

But if we can get weekends for every thing else just about, a double faction point/ alliance donation weekend would be great.

I loved that weekend, you could do whatever you wanted to get faction, ab, FFF, quests.

It was one of my favorite weekend events

It was right after the pve skills were released right?

i would like to see a little more verity in the weekend events. crazy things would be fun like a no ursan weekend but you get an additional 100 attribute points. or 10 over powered skill weeekend. ie one from each class is over powered for the weekend.

^^When you donate you get double points for it, so you only need about 500 hours, making it 40 times more, not 80 =D

And FFF can be up to ~20k an hour, if you manage to keep your runs below 1 min.

Don't get the comparison though. Why should one title be just as grindy as the other?

No double SS/LB and Luxon/Kurzick weekends plz.

How about double chance on rare loot? Playing through the game (questing + missions) is much more fun than flagging heroes on a mini-map or navigating 8 worms from enemy group to enemy group.

If I had to bet, this weekend will probably be double HB pts, because it was 11 weeks ago and Alliance battles were 9 weeks. I'm hoping for a Double AB though because there always fun.

this weekend should be a pve weekend, so double donations points would work for it (yeah i know it retarded that weekend with both pvp and pve benofits is consider pve). This is just how they think competitive missions are pve content because you get cartography in them.
Personally i wish there was more balance in the events that do happen between pve and pvp. Remember the 3 weekends in a row of pvp.

That would be stupid, that's way too low for a max title that is account wise at the same time.

I would love a double faction weekend, but sadly I'll be gone for another 3 weeks because I'm visiting my family. Hopefully ArenaNet will implement it as a weekend event, when I get back to my own computer.

They changed the Gladiator title drastically because it was ruined by silly mistakes and took ages to complete. I'm pretty sure that instead of bumping up the overall faction gain they will update the titles somehow (alter the levels, change the top, etc). They have said in the past a flat NO to changing the upper limit as that devalues what some people already did. I don't see any way to make that title less of a grind but to change the upper limit or alter faction gain sources.

Allegiance double factions would be nice since we get double balthazar faction in AB too like last time. So it's like double for all factions points in AB.

They should always have double (B)faction for all pvp every weekend. Be like a double xp events you see other games doing often now.

I imagine this weekend will be a pve weekend, I'm going to guess double greens or triple dyes or something. Next weekend will be double hero battles, the weekend after that will probably be double ss and lb or something similar, then maybe the weekend after that will be double ab. should be around the second weekend in august or so.
