"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

Not bad, huh?

A good opportunity for my survivor to earn easy XP and my heroes would benefit from certain greens.

That means no double greens from Dungeon chests?
Not that they are easy farmed, but still?

Like many will be capping elite skills and looking for a few greens to equip heroes.

Since I already capped my elites and don't care for greens, I'll pretty much be sticking to vanquishes this weekend.

The double xp for capping elites is imo the most useless special event anet has ever come up with. But the double green drops thing is always fun.

I haven't seen a green drop in quiet a while, so this will be fun.

Hmm maybe that'll motivate me to work on my survivor and go cap elites with him.

Maybe. >_>.

The only weekends I'm looking forward to are:

Double EotN Title Points (Warrior is going after Delver Max)
Double Vanquishing Reward (Ranger is vanquishing Cantha)

Other than that, I've already capped every elite five times. I could always use some random green drops, so this isn't all bad.

I'd like to see a double chance for rare (gold) items in chests... We haven't had one of those in forever. Combine it with double lucky/unlucky, and that would be a sweet weekend indeed!

But I can live with double greens and double XP from skill caps!

Hmm not a bad event but I don't really have any use for the extra green drops. They usually get deleted in my storage anyway because I have to many.

Like some of the other people said, still waiting for the LB/SS weekend. Was gone during the last one forever ago and so I still don't have those titles maxed.

Well, I forbid myself from using Green's when possible as you can't mod them to preference, and I've captured every elite skill already on my warrior. Not much benefits to me. Should have threw the double SS/LB/rep point weekend as a bonus. Makes us want to do it all.

Well said. Plenty of those others are demanding have no interest for me, but I don't QQ when they get their weekends. Instead, I just take it as an opportunity to take a break or just do things unrelated to weekend madness.

This time 'round... ehhh, all my characters are L20, have more skill points than they know what to do with, and lack active Survivor tracks, so the double XP for capping isn't really important. Might have to do some browsing on greens to hunt, though.

Not my favorite. I will sit this one out since all my toons got their elites a couple of years ago. There hasn't been a new elite in the game since October 2006 hopefully someone benefits. I stick to working on my LDoA and running chests if I log on this weekend.

As fun as a double lb/ss weekend is, I'd have to disagree that it's another repeat that we need.

It caused massive favor minutes, and despite the glitch (that was resolved and minutes returned to us), we still have constant favor, sitting up around 30K mins consistently, 7 months down the track.

If you want to argue about ecto prices, that's one of the reasons.
