They should have made it so that there is only HALF the monsters there usually are in an Area as a bonus, insted of extra XP or Money!

Koen N · Jan 30, 2008, 07:02 PM // 19:02

Double AB Weekends FTW.. I don't really vanquish much

The reason I say that is because people constantly bitch about them. If you don't like it, don't participate in it and STFU.

10times more event would make the rewards considerable. No fool would spend hours for 4k reward. Unless the person who canq's doesnt care the gold but title

Silly Warrior · Jan 30, 2008, 09:47 PM // 21:47

Double gold and XP? It still sucks.

And yeah, I'd rather get a small bonus than no bonus at all.

I have to say that no matter what Anet does it will never, ever reduce the amount of QQ on these forums.

In theory though it would be good for survivors, if you are willing to risk them in a vanquish like this... I'm contemplating just doing the area outside Kamadan as I've never had a problem with that area.

Yes the double xp isn't worth anything really, but the double gold will be nice

Especially since I've a bit of vanquishing to do.

Esprit · Jan 30, 2008, 10:47 PM // 22:47

Double gold and XP does not feel like much of an incentive if you look at what you get normally.

makosi · Jan 30, 2008, 10:54 PM // 22:54

Doubling the gold is a tad stingy. Make it triple gold and it is interesting.

Vanquishing an area with 250 creatures grants you just 1,250g so during this event we'll get 2.5k instead. Meh.

Got to have HM to benefit.

Jetdoc · Jan 31, 2008, 12:08 AM // 00:08

For PvE, the best weekends have been those that relate to progressing your PvE-skill related titles....those are the ones that I can't seem to get anything else done but those.

erk · Jan 31, 2008, 12:53 AM // 00:53

Double XP is for leveling, you can't vanq. until you are level 20 so that part is stoopid. The double gold might be nice if it meant double the chance of gold item drops instead of coins. I have to agree that it's pretty lame and A.net could have done better with no bonus this weekend instead of ruining their credibility a little more with a poorly thought out weekend promotion.

Sorry for the rant, but most weekends are more useful thank this one which really stuck out!

MithranArkanere · Jan 31, 2008, 01:16 AM // 01:16

I would triple the gold and make increase the XP 5..10 times.

That way you would get 1Skill Point per vanquised area.

That would be usefull for those that have to make consumables or acquire more skills or something.

Currenlty I can get 40.000XP in a 10 min Fronis run. Can't compare!

Lady Lozza · Jan 31, 2008, 01:39 AM // 01:39

Wow! You're complaining about double gold... Isn't it better than nothing... I mean they could just give us double xp...
For those who have already done their vanquishing, yes I understand complaints.
For those who can't be bothered? Why complain? The weekend event you want is sure to come around soon enough.
Everyone else though... Typically for 3-4 hours of play I normally manage 3-5k gold. True I don't always vanquish, but sometimes I do. So the possibility of making 10k instead certainly appeals to me. Especially since I'm doing something that is going to help me with my goal of getting legendary vanquisher.

I used to play the japanese version of Mabinogi a long time ago so...

You know.. one upon a time, there were no weekend events... We waiting till Halloween and Crissy for something special.
Anet don't HAVE to do ANYTHING every week end. It's a BONUS.

Me? I'll prob Vanquish a few areas. Something I want to do anyway, though I get distracted by 2* Glad points and the like... So any bonus is a good bonus!

If you don't want to Vanquish and get some extra gold... do something else.. or if you are really peeved about it... rumor has it there is 'another real life' out there.. and .. Hmmm week end... go catch up with friends and natural sunlight! ;-)

pakhavit · Jan 31, 2008, 05:23 AM // 05:23

It's bonus...

why you complain >.>

arsie · Jan 31, 2008, 05:44 AM // 05:44

Think on the bright side, the servers won't be so clogged up this weekend.

Having thought about it a bit, there is really nothing they can do to encourage Vanquishing short of dropping one of those dungeon-style treasure chests upon completion.

Surely this event isn't on that Guild Wars keyboard...

In sympathy for all the poor souls that get sucked in and die going for their next level survivor title this weekend, trying to vanquish for double XP, who otherwise wouldn't go near hard mode!
