I think they should just stop doing stuff on weekends...you guys have gotten spoiled.

If you have leg Vanquisher...oh well. Go PvP. Or go do something else. Or work on it with another character. Or play another game, even.

If you don't like vanquishing...oh well. What do you want...something else just for you?

I just started seriously vanquishing so I'm going to enjoy this weekend. No QQ'ing here...this double exp/gold is just icing on the cake I was already going to eat.

I guess my problem is that killing monsters is still fun for me. If killing monsters ever feels like grind I guess I won't kill monsters anymore.

So I bought the game so I can play something else? Good God, we should thank you are not working for a.net, because NOBODY would buy their games if he knew they would be treated like that.

Vanquisher, HB or double-exp's are useless, because very few people enjoy that. There are more players that would enjoy... I dunno. Summer in Christmas than HB and VQ together.

Pray tell, what would YOU like to have as a weekend event?

Tried, failed without gimping myself. And I don't play games to gimp myself.

Nothing. Must there be a weekend event? Too many events = too weak events. Quantity > quality.

Visit forum more often, them maybe you would no... Oh, wait, you joined this year. So yeah, nothing from EotN made me smile about GW.

So you would prefer no events at all? Or just to have less, like one a month, one every 2 months?

I'd just prefer to have no event rather than a crappy event, especially when most events somehow incurr a great amount of lagg, regardless what the event is. It's like being punished for getting sometthing you don't want, it's like "hey jimmy, some socks for christmas" then your pops punches you in the face because you just got socks for x-mas, it's like...really?

Dear everyone who said they would rather have no event than this one, your logic is bad. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean they should take it away.

Still waiting for Regina to make the thread the person in charge of weekend events wanted her to do (check her user talk page). Guess i'll go ahead and start listing them.

Dungeon Crawler weekend: double the amount of random drops in dungeons End Chests in GW:EN. i.e. 2 random drops in NM, 4 in HM.

Elite Mission weekend: Double the amount random drops or gemstone from end chests from Urgoz Warren, The Deep, Domain of Anguish, Underworld and Fissure of Woe. (Great weekend right after the Ursan nerf)

Critter weekend: Critter from all over the world gather to collect trophys for consumables. (mostly gailes farewell weekend without the final events)

This weekend's event has no benefit for ME!

I don't like vanquishing because it's all grind and they didn't do HM ri-ight!

The rewards, even doubled, suck considering how hard it is and how long it takes.

WHY don't they make a PvE weekend that makes me rich overnight? I've been playing GW for a LONG TIME and A-Net owes me weekends that benefit ME

Come to think of it, MOST weekends don't benefit ME!!!

I think that someone should make a thread EVERY week about the upcoming event so I can come here and

about it! - Oh, wait...

Less. Once per month, twice. This way they don't get freakin' boring. I mean, I can eat sushi every day, but after a week I would puke myself to death.

Bad attempt at being funny is bad attempt.

Oh, I did like costume brawl. If we just had 2 or 3 skillsets to choose from... I mean, there are at least 3 famous characters of each campaign, right?

And Wintersday was okay. Too bad nothing except for mask new.

I created character just to achive Legendary Survivor.
I oftenly use scrolls to get moreXP.
Vanquishing already gives you a nice sum of gold, considering the avarage gold drop and loot (wich by the case you can get yourself a nice rare item).
So if anyone vanquishing or is at the same condition as me, vanquish this weekend, they will be very pleased.
The weekends, as said before, are to please part of the players, not all (since thats impossible).
The problem is that most of you think every weekend blows, are boring and etc etc. And none of them are useful. Even if they give us a "triple rare material weekend", most of you will complain because it wil devalue ectos and etc.

Kook~NBK~, the universe does not spin around you, if none of the weekends benefit you, than you havent been playing the game, except from trading and chatting with pals and/or random people.

Passage scrolls do count as scrolls.

The end.

It's the most logical explanation.

Maybe they have an event-based dartboard that they use to blindfold Izzy for skill balances?

this is a good weekend event for those that are still title-grinding...vanquishing synergises so well with cartography and elite skill capturing. The gold's not much, but vanq'ing fills up the inventory which means more gold, etc. I need to build up skill points after spending them all (500+) in my short-lived career as a cons-artist (being in the cons-set business). Personally, I'm stoked on this weekend...but meh, to each his own I guess.

Apparently it only matters if said event pertains to THEIR intrests. Since you know, they are the ONLY people that play Guild Wars.

Vanquishing is killing every foe in a certain area in hard mode(HM). Once you've killed the last monster a message will appear and you will recieve 5 gold for each killed enemy, during this weekend, that's 10 gold/enemy.
