lockpick retention points
Just a quick question. I was chest running today outside Boreal and was noticing everytime I retained a lockpick i was recieving 500pts towards lucky track, I thought the standard was 250 pts for retain lp. Anyone else noticed this today or this weekend?

Same, I noticed aswell. Does it have to do with the Wintersday Redux or..?

There have been a few threads on this.
It seems this weekend was supposed to be a Lucky weekend (more pick/key drops, double lucky/unlucky points), but instead of changing it into Wintersday Redux they pasted it over the lucky weekend and forgot to take that out. So it's double fun! |

2 threads have brought up this issue, but i'll just reiterate what they said here.
It is quite possible a-net automated the weekend events and forgot to take the double lucky/unlucky weekend out. The fact that there was a double lucky/unlucky weekend at about the exact same time as last year (around Jan 30th) supports this claim. The other 2 threads if you want to read them: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/h...t10424281.html http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/l...t10424182.html |

They do double lucky/unlucky once every 6 months and blew it. WTF Anet, please fix this, I had what I need stockpiled since the last event in August waiting to max out.
