But my pick rate has been normal for raptor farming.

Actually yeah O_o
I got 4 lockpicks yesterday (3 in NM, 1 in HM) Which is unusual when compared to my average 1 every couple of Vanquishes.

Gossip and self-fulfilling prophecy. Doubt that aNet would secretly mix two events in one (double picks drop and wintersday).

With the 4 of us in Arachni's haunt yesterday, ~10 lockpicks dropped.

Still, random is random.

Hm, I went raptor farming for a short while yesterday and got 6 lockpicks, sometimes 2 in one run. It seemed pretty unusual, but I thought I was lucky.

Weird, I was doing topk last night (just once) and got 3 picks on the first level. Something weird going on or what?

I got 1 earlier doing a raptor run, which always makes me smile. Still 1 out of however many runs is hardly conclusive

Don't tell Anet whatever you do we will stuff it up and out comes the nerf bat
but I have been getting 1 or 2 from the wurms outside Boreal while doing my
survivor every single run in HM without fail O.o
I usualy see 1 drop every few runs but never like this.

So they really DID mix two events in one. Pitty.

Seeing their recent success story in putting out updates, i doubt that they did that on purpose.

In 30 minutes of raptor farm I got 2 lockpicks,and when I was capping skills on my warriors I got 1 green weapon on the way to the boss (Crystal overlook)

Not trying to start a rumor but looks like the drop rate is really higher O_O

I think I've got it! A-net automated the weekend events so that they wouldn't have to set them up manually every week. So I'm guessing that this weekend was set to be a double lucky/unluck/lockpick weekend, and when they worked in the Redux (manually), they didn't cancel the automatic programming (excepting the announcement). So we get a double bonus weekend! Sweet!

Interesting fun fact that defends this claim

There was a double lucky weekend last year on this exact same weekend (around January 30th).
