If you read it it suggest that it has already started, which i very much doubt because it is tuesday. Looks like the wrong copy and paste from weekend event messages

Even though they allow us a peek at the weekend events, we know the wording is meant for weekend, when we read it then. It also specifies there "this weekend" and lasting through Sunday.

Very cool, I believe we should get double rep for books as well, not 100% sure though, however it is not going to hurt getting get a couple ready just in case.

It says in the announcement that books won't be affected.

I might actually finish my norn or asura ranks this weekend. But probably not, since I'm not gonna play much on Saturday.

Does the double reputation count in dungeons as well?

Didn't we have one of these back in June? I'm wondering why this is coming so soon when we haven't seen a double SS/LB for a long time. Not that I'm complaining, as most weekends are enjoyable, this just seems odd.

Oh, well...good enough reason for me to grab that extra 2% on Great Dwarf Weapon.

Vanguard
VQ Sacnoth Valley or Dalada uplands

Sacnoth valley is better u can get some nice points there with a team that knows what to do, I got 37k in one run the last time we had double ETON .

Asuran
VQ Magus Stone.

I have only done this once most of my points are from books/dungeon.

Norn
VQ
Varajar Fells

Fastest for Norn points

Delver
Snowman Dungeon

Easiest place to get Delver also beat the game on HM for 15kDelver.

another gw:en grindfest weekend? yawn

would be nice to see some different weekend events, how about open access to the deep or urgoz with double chest drops, rare weapon drops from end chest in TOPK, free FOW/UW weekend, double item drop rate in DoA

Just something different from the recent weekends of either grind or PvP

Maybe because I don't care about any of those?

The Deep or Urgoz isn't remotely hard to get too for anyone who really wants it (and since we can't H/H it this affect *no* casual player right now), FOW/UW are more than free for anyone that actually plays it (farmers make more than the 1K and are easy enough to learn now, any crappy team should make it long enough to make that back), and who cares about double drop rates on chests in those areas anyway - all of the items are already worthless so lets make them more so.

Until you give me a real reason why your individual wants trump my individual wants I'll go with that.

Now, were we to look at overall players then it's pretty much a crap shoot - your wants are just as good as mine. One can come up with all sorts of reasons to do *none* of them. However I would say that double rep points are higher on most lists than nearly all of yours. The main exception is the free FoW/UW but - like me - that is more because 1k per farming run is useful.

Were it up to me Anet would have a roulette wheel with all of the "weekend events" on it that they spun in order to choose (Each week something is not chosen it gets another place on the wheel and being chosen removes the event totally from the wheel for one weekend). It really doesn't matter what is chosen and trying to strategically choose them is a waste of time. Had they chosen one of the ones any of the complainers have said then there would have been just as many complaining that it's been to long since double faction points too.

In fact, were I to truly choose it would be double Kurzick/Luxon faction - by far my lowest title and quite a while since the last one. So I guess even I am not too happy with the current weekend, though I guess I will grind a bit anyway (my main isn't max on those titles, but I'm not terribly interested in maxing them on that character). I've had a few dungeons I've waiting for this to complete so time to bother with it.

Anet pls, next weekend "triple lockpick drops" and the one after it "sugar and party items" so we can have a Raptor-hate month.

As for the double EOTN rep points - bring 'em on I say. My ele needs to max vanguard and asura.

Is Varajar Falls still viable to farm norn points after the ursan nerf? Pre-nerf it was possibily the easiest title point farm ever. Even pugs did well at it.

Not for me.
