Triple Key/Lockpick drops AND double your luck points weekend
Jecht Scye
The way I took it is he meant Events that are more in-depth than changing drop rate variables or faction percentages.

A great weekend. Simple, a holiday or event themed weekend set around some in game delmiaa (ie, an earthquake, a GW:EN dragon waking up, whatever). Esentially, something plot driven (*gasp*). Have new sides quest, WITH event drops, WITH bonus faction for PvP areas, WITH double dye/green item/lock pick drop rate.
Essentially, stuff like Wintersday, Dragonfest, etc BUT with a little bit of everything for everybody. I'd rather see one or two more festivals like that a year, then have dozens of pitily events nobody really cares about.
And, I'm not trying to "ruin" anything. Don't troll.
Although, to be fair, it is too late now. You can't take away these stupid weekend events now, because then people would qq about it and say "OMGZ GW1 is dying" and rage like crazy. A.net wrote themselves into this trap.

The point is that by having a small event every weekend they allow more people to participate in them. It is simple numbers, if you have 4 weekends a month that is 4 times more likely a person will be able to participate than if you only had 1 special weekend a month.
That is only taking into account the people complaining because they would miss that one special event. Imagine now the people complaining that said event was too hard, too in depth, too easy, etc..
It is much easier on everyone involved to have smaller weekend events, and occasionally a large event the way it is set up now.

You idea is just plain bad. It only serves to benefit the few people that have nothing else going on in their lives and can plan their weeks around playing a game. For the rest of us, there are weekend events like the one coming up. Unlike you, I am glad that A-net thinks enough of it's players to put these events into the game.

For "nobody" insert "you" - as I appreciate and like many of the weekend events, so your nobody fails right there and then and along with it the arguement.

You think the weekend events are stupid, we all see that. Then the easy thing is just dont participate. I am sure anet will see the drop in the server useage and stop the weekend events in response.

Awww dont have money to buy picks this time :/

WTB LB/SS weekend QQ, Halloween is like 2 months away but I can't wait <3

I just want the events that drop those +5 moral boost items that effect the entire party and I want a triple drop weekend for these jewels as well.

The first time they did the Double Lucky from chests weekend I went from zero to rank 2 Lucky. It was a highly useful event for me back then.
It's not that much useful now, but certainly still good for others.
And triple lockpick drops is meh, a typical player may get 1 or 2 in the whole weekend, but a hardcore farmer of mass mobs should see the difference.

It's swings and roundabouts.
I'm very very happy with this event and I've been waiting for it since the last time, 2-3 months ago. I'm 650k away from maxing lucky and this couldn't have come at a better time.
The weekends giving double vanquish/LB/SS/points for fame etc are useless to me as I've already maxed them titles or have no intention to..

they need a weekend where they have every event going at the same time. Dragon festival, wintersday, halloween, etc. Then your computer explodes.

I see a lot of people commenting on whether or not this weekend is a waste. What I'd like to see in this topic is people saying how they'll be in FoW Chest Runs all weekend =D
Or Port Sledge running.
Or Droks running.
Do some chest running people!
Do you think the 'triple drops' or 'double points' are more valuable? This is going to be a GREAT way to farm lucky point, since you get 250 for a normal retain, now doubled to 500.
Personally, I plan to run port sledge.. I'd be willing to run with whoever, just give me a PM... off to buy some 100+ lockpicks =D

My luck sucks or something is wrong with there system.
All 30 of my picks broke, didn't even retain one and I have 54% chance in Normal, last time it too me 2 hours to break 10 picks, i just blew 30 picks in 15 mins.

Plus 9 rings is a lot easier to get, seeing as you afk and don't have to actually do anything.

If you are working to max both the: Lucky, Unlucky, Treasure Hunter, Wisdom and Lucky title, the math looks a bit different!
... 130 chests so far - and already bored to tears!
StormDragonZ
Vanquished Maishang Hills, got two lockpicks and both retained! This weekend is going great for me so far...

Hmmmm what an BORING update imo. Got 5 picks today, sold them all though, not into lucky/unlucky titles.

slaughtered about 2500 raptors in HM and didn't get a single lockpick.
Decide to do a quest. Lockpick drops within 2 mins. D:

as someone said earlier:
0x1 = 0
0x3 = 0
killed many raptors. went all over gwen. got one pick. shitty update. i bet they just type random sentences into the "Login Announcement" field, and do not even change the coding. kinda like "gotcha"

Vanquished 4 areas and did some farming yesterday after the update was supposed to go into effect...not a single lockpick. I get more just playing normally.
Weak.

It's the same with anything, you got bored w/ it, you leave it for sometime and when you come back again, for awhile it's fun again. Same case w/ me, I come back NOT for the updates, but just for having fun for about an hour or two.

Always been cool for me

Well this is Tuesday and I had a great 3 hours farming Lockpicks. I was getting one pick every 10 kills in Hard Mode in GW:EN - a secret spot. I would then run my Fort Ranik mission in NM kill charr get points and carvings WOOT.
I went from lvl 1 to lvl 2 of the lucky title in very short period of time.
I will wait for the festival in october
