AB weekend is better than GvG/HB/HA

Now that, that's cool.

because ab is super-fun way to meet hordes of noobs?

and loads of physical attackers for my ele to water snare/ air debuff

I suspect it's because PvP content is player generated, meaning it's easy on the ANet programmers. Furthermore, things like faction points go along w/ grinding-type gameplay, which is a timesink involving already existing content. Basically, it's an event which requires little, if any, effort on Anet's part.

I just play the PvE game, so I could care less...

It's annoying for the average PvE player that wants to work on the kurzick/luxons skills without doing AB (or FFF for that matter).

Well actually, I can answer that question. ANet is too busy working on GW2; those who have any responsibility for GW1 are the slackers of the team, who are all too happy to just press the AB weekend button and not bother making any new weekends.

that my friend, is epic.

btw, with regards to the AB weekend...

you cannot say anet is forcing pvp on you, because AB is pve. reason being that AB, like pve, can be farmed for a profit. in AB, you farm noobs and get paid on amber/jade. as such, AB should be considered pve.

I dunno... 'tis fun to tear through bad players with a blindbot or cripshot, knowing that on the other side of the world... there's some little 12yo screaming at his computer because his 123456 wikibuild isn't pwning things with his l33t-h4Xx skillz. Or whatever.

believe it or not, some people like to farm factions. That may be not the way you play, but some people do. They deserve a week end from time to time just as everyone else.
IDC about 2x fame weekends, I dont like HA either, doesn't mean I'd like them removed.

ho and [email protected] and the 3 paragon keys

2 Years until GW2...so that's atleast 104 more weekends.

Hope you like AB, because you'll be getting a lot more of it!

I LOLd when I saw the spider webs on that Balance button. But anyways I think AB is a fun way to pvp, No gay title requirements or elitism and almost any profession works, so yeah good event for those who think it the same.

I don't care about what might seem 'cooler', wether it be Kurzicks or Luxons. It's just a game mode and I play it whenever I want. Little kids who like insulting the other team are annoying and dumb. Unfortunately there's more Luxons than Kurzicks fitting the description. So meh, your pick if you want to wait 5 minutes longer before you can start, or get bunched up with loudmouthed (but decent playing) kids.
