for them to add that scrolls give double faction in Luxon and Kurzick side of things. For those that don't HFFF on the Kurzick side of things it would be a nice bonus.
In the long run, they should put in some sort of mechanic to gaining faction much like in gaining reputation points for killing in EotN. It may actually spur some people back into more parts of Factions instead of just Lutfactiondis.

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. |
You said in later posts that you'd prefer to see fewer larger events. But there are already fewer "larger" events. These little ones are there to fill in the gaps in gameplay that they recognize. Vanquishing may have had a huge fall-off so they're trying to get newer players to experience something else, or get experienced bored players an incentive to go out and vanquish. You say that it's a wasted event. But it's better than nothing. If it doesn't appeal to you, consider it a non-event weekend. Just like PvP weekends for people like me.
I don't see vanquishing as a grind. I used to "vanquish" in normal mode just for fun and loot when I was new. I used to vanquish in NM cantha for faction points to continue the story...rather than repeat the same old run the supplies quest or faction farm. THAT is grind...not running around killing stuff.

Well this weekend will be nice for vanquishing. Yeah the reward is hardly a HUGE increase, but it's better than the normal amount.

lol at the QQ...
Anyway, for those (mere mortals) still working on the legendary vanq title this is a nice event.
And, what the QQers seem to forget is that Vanq is done in HM... that means monsters drop stuff like golds, and chests spawn elite tomes, and chests spawn elite tomes... (crap said that already) and you also pick up other random stuff that you can salvage into crafting materials for your cons.

No need for UB when vanqing.. its much more fun to do it the "normal" way. We did use a N/Rt healer but the rest of the heroes were pretty much set up different (we tried to keep it all necro though, me and my friend) seeing we did "Lame" the other two continents pretty much.
We managed to get our Legendary Vanquisher this weekend and we were pleased =)

UB is fail when you can just run 4 physicals, an MM, AP MoP/Barbs Bomber, and 2 healers. Physicals > most of this game.
Deleted my perma sin and refuse to go in DoA because of sheer boredom.

I enjoyed the double duration XP scrolls. Got 35k XP on the new Survivor I'm working on just on Sunday alone, not quite sure how much on Fri-Sat but prob a similar amount.
cosyfiep
had a good time doing some easy elona vanquishing with 5 players (hubby likes to see how quickly we can die)....but was kinda fun, and got more ss points without having to do wurms....nice change of pace for me.
Molock
Vanquished 11 zones in Cantha and I am now motivated to continue vanquishing. I liked the week-end.
glacialphoenix
Had a great time vanquishing, myself - no ursan, no sabway, no cons - was a nice change.
distilledwill
I had a great time vanquishing. Got the whole of the Crystal desert done as well as perdition rock, the sage lands, spearhead peak, snake dance, Gandara and the sunward marches.
No cons (I did buy some, but never actually got around to using them) and no ursan, H/Hed it all. Twas fun fun.

This was a perfect weekend, made a lot of cash, had a lot of fun and got things done, im only 14 areas off legendary vanquisher, downside is all these areas are on NF, cant run to tyria or cantha for a change of pace:P
