This weekend is double SS and LB points. Why can't they double the Luxon and Kurzick bounties for hunting in those areas as well? SS and LB are ridiculously easy to max (especially SS with worm farming) and cap at 50k points, while Lux/Kurz max at 10 MILLION points. Where's the love?

Too late for this weekend, I'm sure. But I'd love to see it soon! p-p-p-please..

umm back before nf is where the love was....they rarel do anthing involving factions anymore.

The cap for Lux/Kurz is ridiculous because there are MUCH faster ways to getting it then using the bounties.

Look... weekends are a gift. If somebody hands you an apple, don't be mad if they also don't hand you an orange. This weekend is SS/LB. They will probablly have another double AB weekend, etc later. Just be patient.

Thats the thing... there has never been a double Lux/Kurz bounty weekend, and there should. AB have had multiple weekends and HFFF gets disproportionate amounts of faction already.

/signed for combining this with the LB/SS weekend.

It would be a joke if they decided to add this as its own separate weekend.

There is a general cycle of bonus weekends. The last Double SS/LB was longer ago than the last Double Luxon/Kurzick. Just wait a few weeks, and they will probably have it.

Double Luxon/Kurzick Title Points

This weekend, get double points towards your Luxon and Kurzick alliance titles starting at Noon Pacific (-7 GMT) on Friday, June 29. Receive double points for transferring 1,000 faction for Jadeite or Amber, for exchanging 3,000 faction for an alliance skill, and for transferring 5,000 faction to raise your alliance's reputation. The bonus ends at 11:59 PM Pacific on Sunday, July 1.

This is true, but when you get double for transferring ALL faction it means faction you received from bounties is also doubled.

There is no point doubling bounty for Kurzick/Luxons as no one cares. Those going for the titles do AB/HFFF, those just progressing through storyline/exploring are not really effected. (Wow 10 more amber/jade).

we have different weekends for this

Personally I feel that since the Luxon / Kurzick Allegiance track is so high, a weekend such as this should be in order:

"This weekend earn triple Luxon and Kurzick faction from kills in explorable areas. For the duration of the weekend blessings from Priests at shrines are free."

To be honest though, I'd rather have another weekend where the points you donate are doubles on your title track - it would work with all sources of Faction.

Since that first lot of double transfer weekends, they've been opting for double AB rewards instead. This might just be my prejudices speaking, but I believe this is because they don't want to reward the exploitation of the "securing" quest any more than they already are. The problem is that those that get their points through HM PvE (and yes, people do) are getting caught in the crossfire.

sterbenx2 · Jan 17, 2008, 12:43 PM // 12:43

Luxon/Kurzick ranks are way too high for the amount of faction you receive in rewards. I doubt that I'll ever max out one of them, never mind both. 10million is just plain stupid. I suggest a reworking of them both and make the two similar to all the other grind faction titles.

Forget the double weekend. FIX THE TITLE! As anet fully knows and has openly addmitted, most players don't care about PvP and PvP is the reseaon the max on the title is so high.

MithranArkanere · Jan 17, 2008, 03:54 PM // 15:54

Those increases are meant to gather people in places,and make players that have titles already maxed change to other characters without those titles maxed.

If you add a double Luxon/Kurzick faction or double GW:EN race reputation, you'll just spread the people.

One is in cantha the other nightfall. There just promoting one thing at a time.

I think this is right. One of the things they're trying to do with the bonus weekends is get the playerbase in the same place at the same time. I think the idea is good but it gets away from the original intent of getting players together.
