lockpick retention points
Osprey3
Just a quick question. I was chest running today outside Boreal and was noticing everytime I retained a lockpick i was recieving 500pts towards lucky track, I thought the standard was 250 pts for retain lp. Anyone else noticed this today or this weekend?

Same, I noticed aswell. Does it have to do with the Wintersday Redux or..?

There have been a few threads on this.
It seems this weekend was supposed to be a Lucky weekend (more pick/key drops, double lucky/unlucky points), but instead of changing it into Wintersday Redux they pasted it over the lucky weekend and forgot to take that out. So it's double fun!

2 threads have brought up this issue, but i'll just reiterate what they said here.
It is quite possible a-net automated the weekend events and forgot to take the double lucky/unlucky weekend out. The fact that there was a double lucky/unlucky weekend at about the exact same time as last year (around Jan 30th) supports this claim.
The other 2 threads if you want to read them:

They do double lucky/unlucky once every 6 months and blew it. WTF Anet, please fix this, I had what I need stockpiled since the last event in August waiting to max out.

well I went to Ascalon Foothills and was using some lockpics testing a build. Low and behold.. I was getting 500 lucky per retention. My retention rate is 88% so I retained quite a bit.
In 3 hours I managed 60,000 lucky points. I asked my guild.. um why am I getting 500 points to the lucky per retiontion of my key. I got flamed. Unfortunately for me that was sunday night. I have 232 lockpicks left. I played 10 hours on sat and 3 on friday night. I could have gotten 260,000 points in that span and that would have given me Golden had I known.
Anet, please announce this when it comes out as I am looking to MAX this title. So with 232 keys at 88% it should be able to open 1900 chests by the time I break all of my picks. * i will reach Golden before they are gone giving me 2% more retention* so this number is reasonable.
that will yield me 475,000 more lucky and I will be half done with the title

I mentioned the issue to Regina last night. She promised to forward it to those concerned but said that the weekend events are basically automated and there's little chance of a rerun
Dzjudz
That makes me wonder what the coming weekend's event will be

Soo... anyone found anything in-game indicative of a weekend event?
Puddin Cheeks
it looks like it could possibly be heroes ascent or GvG? from last years schedule.
