Double Gold and XP for vanquishing weekend

If the gold was a decent amount I'd go for it. But only 2k for two hours of grinding in HM? Not enough, give us at least 10k doubled (5k normal). Or base it on the size of the area, maybe 3k at the least. Otherwise I avoid vanquishing and HM altogether.

Just when things were looking up for the future of guild wars...
I mean it almost seems like they are trying to go back to the philosophy of the game they originally created, that made most of us want to play 3 years ago.
They say their looking at how people who scrape their heads over their keyboards and get rich using Ursan - Thats good
They are looking at the grind involved with PvE skills/ some titles such as LB and sorting it out hopefully - Thats good
They are reviewing PvE skills and how stupidly imba they are - Thats good
They bring in a weekend that promotes and rewards grinding - Thats.... Oh

I needed this weekend. My survivor toon needs to get tons of exp and why not do so while vanquishing? Plus getting more scrolls means more exp.

Need more PvP weekends.

I mean really, during the whole wintersday in July all everyone did was either farm, rush through a couple quests for enough tokens for the mask then farm some more, sync in order to farm gamer points, grind rollerbeetle for hour in the hopes of getting a highscore or gamer points, or just not play.
Any way you look at it, double rewards is just incentive to grind because you don't know when the next weekend will be, and you figure it'll save you some time in the long run.

I guess we should consider ourselves lucky for still getting weekend events in a dead game, but even so, it still feels stale............

Personally, I find Vanquishing fun, but that's generally because you could normally throw out a random explorable name, and the whole guild will come VQ it; not the whole guild, but you get the point that it can get the guilds working as a team.
That's unless you decided to use Ursan, then it's more of a grind

cosyfiep
hm, lukewarm on this one...if they added double factions points now that might be worth something.....however just xp (dont need) and gold (even double is not enough for the time)...isnt enough to get me to vanquish.

when it comes to now adays, everything is grind...grind elites..grind pvp...grind farming... grind titles..rinse...grind the rinsing of the repeating.
So, when it comes to grind-gasms, if you want it to be less mindless, put a little bit of thought into it. That at least lubricates the crank on the grind wheel and makes it less unbearable (get it un-bear-able, lolololol i'm retarted)
Star Gazer
finished vanquishing a long time ago. already have 20+mil exp with over 1600 skill points. what the hell is up with anet? do something useful (and fun) for once.
Esan
Vanquishing stopped being respectable on 31 August, 2007.
Lycan Nibbler
No point in doing any VQ if they are going to make all the title account wide anyway (which will probably be the case with the QQing).
Double gold (woopeee) isnt going to convince me.
I am glad you are so confident. After all the past "We wont do this - followed by them doing it, I cant share your confidence anymore (I also dont think they will btw but who knows.. its anet..). after completing most titles on my main - I started on ones on different chars - noe until I see the actual HoM update, I have stopped, there is nothing more annoying than working for and spending countless k on alcohol/sugar etc just to find it made obsolete in a second.

A little offtopic , is the update coming with the weekend too?
It would be nice to make builds with the new skills.
Vanquishing is so much grind as you make it

Anyways, eh I've been thinking of vanquishing a few zones reccently. Getting close to finishing, just ran out of motivation.

Guess I'll vanquish Elona a bit this weekend. The rewards are pretty terrible; they should be upped anyway.
Shayne Hawke
Ho-hum. I wish the double for vanquish was perma, because the rewards sometimes seem stale.
Scroll double makes me lol. What was the point of that one?

This would have been a great weekend a year ago. WTF are they thinking?
azizul1975
can't they just quadrouple the gold instead ? i dont need the XP, really... nearly 600 unused skill points here.
Apollo Smile
ITT, people assume everyone on Guild Wars has been here 3+ years.
Cherno
What is the point of the scrolls and xp (not to mention the rediculously low level of gold obtained during a vanquish, even when doubled) ? Oh you can use it to get to level 20 faster... wait, you have to be 20 to get into hard mode to be able to vanquish. Hrmmmmm. Oh, the scrolls can be sold to those who want to get powerleveled... wait there are much better and quicker ways to do that than with scrolls. Hrrmmmmm. Oh, I need to to have for bragging rights that my level 20 has more skill points than yours. Great use of a weekend.
If they really wanted to make vanquishing useful, add some reputation points of the zone that you're in in GWEN when you are done as a reward on top of what you get from the bounties. Then double that this weekend and you might have something worth posting on the login page.
