Fake pve weekend comes again
Shadowmoon
Yep it has returned, double competitive missions weekend. No double balth faction again, what i assume justifies it being a "PvE" weekend. Personally I wish they stop hosting this weekend. Just put it in with double ab weekend and double the balth faction, its freak'n pvp ffs.

Double stuff in the JQ and FA leechspots....yay...at least the leechers get double the faction now.
zelgadissan
The number of leechers are going to make this unplayable.
Shadowmoon
Don't forget the bots too

Yeah! Anet should stop doing weekend events because their loose definition of PvE differs from my own :< URGH!!!!111!!!!

Oh wait wait. Remember what happened with last Double Alliance Faction weekend? Lots of players using bots for HFFF were banned (and later on unbanned ><). So maybe Anet wants to use this weekend to ban leechers! One can hope...

well if that really is the weekend event then it will be fun i enjoy JQ (that is as long as the botts and leachers get banned.)

Practically speaking, however, I find I have a hard time caring what they call it. I might log in just to see how long I can leech before I actually get the boot for it.

Sad thing this weekend only going to benefit botter/leachers. Serious faction farmers are doing MQSC and DTSC which gives more than these two activity even if they double the faction. They really should double the balth faction also to make up for this difference, might make it actually worth wild.

Hopefully we wont have as much lag on the servers like we normally get with "special weekends".

Since when did they have to make the weekend special that allowed you to grind constantly to exploit the particular game activity? You don't want to do competitive missions then don't it's as simple as that. Some people forgetting about just playin the game normally...for fun...

You beat me to it. I hope I can at least play this weekend. Lag has been killer over the past several "Special" weekends.

lol, hopefully this is a precursor to double vanq ;-)

How about ANet actually steps inside these competitive missions this weekend and BAN those damn leechers? I'm not talking about some measly 72-hour ban that teaches nobody a lesson. I want ANet to show the people who want to play those missions legitimately that they care.
If you help the bots, you support them. Giving the bots/leechers double the faction and yet doing nothing to stop them from being there isn't helping the general Guild Wars crowd you're supposed to be prioritizing.
I'll try to do some FA/JQ this weekend, but if I see a bunch of leechers everywhere (good chance of that, lol), then the hell with it, double faction or not. How about ANet gives me double faction for vanquishing too.

Why do you think you're entitled to some sort of even balance of pve and pvp "weekend events." And after having done them all multiple times, why would you care?
Rhamia Darigaz

Painbringer
So looks it like a solo weekend for a couple of us on the luxon side............... I think I will go 55 be prepaired in the fort as I amaze GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOG Or maybe i will spend the day reporting hum

bad idea
double faction for vanquishing =win

Might be excited if I wasn't already concerned about the leech flood.
Longasc
I think it is just ridiculous that we get excited about awesome (?) "half the grind" weekends. They do not really add to gameplay, just encourage extreme grinding of the boosted stuff to exploit the weekend to the max.
Just like the festivals are major item/gold/whatever item grab festivals, not so much a festival at all.

I know what I won't be doing this coming weekend (besides, haven't FA/JQ in quite a while - pretty much since the bots took over in large scale).
snaek
^welcome to grind wars....or in this case, leech wars
jonnieboi05
for all we know.... aNet could be doing this to lure out all of the leechers and go undercover to catch them all and suspend them for excess leeching? ... hmm... 
last time double faction was given SOOOOO many people got perma banned for botting right in plain view.... who's to say they won't be taking advantage of this event to do the same again (not essentially BAN, but, suspend and/or ban for players habitualy abusing the event).

Sweet! Double FA/JQ faction weekend! Ready? Set! LEECH!!
Seriously this weekend will become 8v8 teams of bots vs leechers. *Sigh*
Why don't they just bring back HFFF? I don't see how that hurt the game back then compared to how it is now.

1. You're gonna make tons of points when you face bots and leechers/bots. When teamed up with leechers you won't unless they have even more leechers/bots.
2. Waiting times will last forever. And when you get teamed up with bots and leechers it's a double smack in the face.
3. mAT players will be happy, extra lag and maybe some random r200 guild in the finals.

Can't wait!!! The number of leechers will go from 2-3 per team to 4-6 per team, and thanks to the failure of the /report system, FA/JQ will be absolutely un-playable. GG Anet, GG.

They can't hear you, LOL
Seriously i quit playing FA cause of the leechers that no one would report and would actually give me dishonor.

From what I have seen and I have been doing JQ since update ANET hasn't done crap about the bots there and what I am noticing now is it is mainly the big guilds that are owning the towns doing it!!! so there a lot of them. I wish ANET would do something about it, but one only hopes (not mentioning guild names)

Where is the difference to the way it usually is?

I think every weekend should be PvP weekend anyways.

Darn. We are due (or overdue) for a double-EotN-rep weekend, and I had figured this weekend would be it.
Oh, well. My guild is having its first anniversary party on Sat, so I won't be missing anything by hanging around the guild hall and dancing.

next weekend will be double arena weekend
then special drops weekend
then double HB weekend
then Guildwars bday
then AB weekend
Then double EotN weekend
And I'm 95% sure this will be the weekend order for this next month

This special weekend is just going to make Jade Quarry even less playable. There was at least a chance that you would get a full game with zero leeches, but with added faction, you can kiss that hope goodbye.
I wish they would DO something about them with this weekend. I highly doubt it. Even if they would do it. I can only say "Too little. Too late. What took you so long?"
Thankfully I won't even have to say that because we all know their track record on dealing with bots/leeches.

Should have just made it a double Luxon/Kurzick weekend.
