Great, two more minis I don't have.

I haven't gotten any green drops yet, let alone minis. (I've gotten minis from gifts though.)

Plus I wouldn't be surprised if the double green thing is hard-coded and that any new bosses added recently will be excluded. Or maybe the WiK non-bosses will be accidentally included because ANet didn't think to exclude them.

Yes that could be true, with the double Double Gold, Scrolls and XP for Vanquishing weekend event a couple of weeks ago we also got double faction rewards for vanquishing while that wasn't mentioned. I also wouldn't be surprised if it was indeed hard coded. Ah well, looks like that we all agree that they should theoretically have a higher drop chance but that it will probably not happen or that the greater chances aren't significant. Thanks for your thoughts guys.

I was thinking the same thing. They just push the event button, copy and paste the description, and whatever happens, happens. They've messed up the description and event start time/end countless times, so this is really just a wait-and-see scenario, though it would be nice to see a staffer pop in to confirm or deny if regular WiK mobs would be affected. Personally, I'd like to see them double drop too, since originally when the first double green event occurred, it was only bosses who dropped greens.

I remember doing some CoF runs during one of the double green weekends and seeing abnormally high numbers of greens dropping from the endchest so I suspected even the chest drops could have been doubled... but would need much more data to determine whether that observation was a real droprate increase or just random "luck".

Hypothesis: whenever a green weapon/item appears on ANY droptable with a defined random % chance to drop this chance is doubled during the event.

This requires extensive testing to be proved.
