Default Double XP for Elites Cap and double green drop weekend

I didn't see a thread about the current weekend yet, so here goes.

Anyone else very happy with this weekend? I bought my second account not so long ago and decided that I'd make my main on that account, a ritualist, legendary survivor from the get-go. I don't like brawling and the lag dangers of it, so I just played the game normally. Finished Factions and almost finished Nightfall on it, and had around 800k XP yesterday. Thanks to the skill cap weekend I am legendary survivor now!

In addition to the easier survivor title, I got quite some work done on the skill hunter titles and as an added bonus those elites are now unlocked for my whole second account.

Didn't notice anything of the double green drop rate though. Out of the about 60 bosses I killed, I only got 1 greenie.

Meh, couldn't really care less about this weekend. There's no green that I'm crying myself to sleep over not having, already have Legendary Skill Hunter on my main, no potential survivors...nothing to excite me.

I might go cap the primary profession skills for my other characters if I don't have them already, but it's not like this weekend is getting me psyched up for boss hunting.

the days of making big moneys off farming greens is long, long gone.

I'm just doing a little green farming (Final Assault, solo dagger perma sin running right for Rago/other boss with earth greens) for outfitting heroes on my 2nd acct

No need for greens, no need for Elite Skills.

I'm all for a pick-your-own-weekend weekend.

I capped like 10 elites for my survivor and then stopped. I made her a year ago and she's still at 700k xp. Meh.

Are there even any greens worth farming left?

My survivor was at around 530k before Friday, with three elites captured, now almost 700k. With about 64 elites left to go... That's maybe 11 more hours of capping.

I'm hoping to see some greens drop, but that's not too likely.

I had just finished capping all the Tyrian's before the announcement, not that it would have made much difference.

Oh goodie, and I have Legendary Skill Hunter. lol I'd try to farm some greens but the h/h make it almost impossible for them to drop. I could grab a PUG but lately they all fail. There are some greens I want, but...yeah.
