If the gold was a decent amount I'd go for it. But only 2k for two hours of grinding in HM? Not enough, give us at least 10k doubled (5k normal). Or base it on the size of the area, maybe 3k at the least. Otherwise I avoid vanquishing and HM altogether.

QFT ANet should listen to you.

Too bad they never will

Just when things were looking up for the future of guild wars...

I mean it almost seems like they are trying to go back to the philosophy of the game they originally created, that made most of us want to play 3 years ago.

They say their looking at how people who scrape their heads over their keyboards and get rich using Ursan - Thats good

They are looking at the grind involved with PvE skills/ some titles such as LB and sorting it out hopefully - Thats good

They are reviewing PvE skills and how stupidly imba they are - Thats good

They bring in a weekend that promotes and rewards grinding - Thats.... Oh

ValaOfTheFens · Jul 29, 2008, 10:36 PM // 22:36

I needed this weekend. My survivor toon needs to get tons of exp and why not do so while vanquishing? Plus getting more scrolls means more exp.

Sarevok Thordin · Jul 29, 2008, 10:37 PM // 22:37

Need more PvP weekends.

What weekend isn't filled with grind? If it's not glad points, it's areas vanquished, if it's not that then it's allegiance, sweets, booze, dye, treasure hunter.

I mean really, during the whole wintersday in July all everyone did was either farm, rush through a couple quests for enough tokens for the mask then farm some more, sync in order to farm gamer points, grind rollerbeetle for hour in the hopes of getting a highscore or gamer points, or just not play.

Any way you look at it, double rewards is just incentive to grind because you don't know when the next weekend will be, and you figure it'll save you some time in the long run.

/agree. I think everyone's interest in PvP is waning. Interest in PvE is also waning, but 2x Gold for Vanqing doesn't help.

I guess we should consider ourselves lucky for still getting weekend events in a dead game, but even so, it still feels stale............

Personally, I find Vanquishing fun, but that's generally because you could normally throw out a random explorable name, and the whole guild will come VQ it; not the whole guild, but you get the point that it can get the guilds working as a team.
That's unless you decided to use Ursan, then it's more of a grind

romeus petrus · Jul 29, 2008, 11:05 PM // 23:05

Oh goodie, lez reward mindless grinding some more..*rolls eyes

so you think they need to nerf a build team that can be easially beaten by any smart team(spirit control is wut now?) A/Mo SoJ really only holds its power in HB, and most people are running anti kd for backbreaker sins....unless builds now need nerfed for being too overpowered in RA lol

divert SoM mesmer, gg

Marverick · Jul 29, 2008, 11:19 PM // 23:19

Make this update permanent and make these weekends double that.

dilan155 · Jul 29, 2008, 11:43 PM // 23:43

meh this sucks, my guild does a ton of VQing and theyll prob do a ton more, yet guess what? im going away on vacation. oh well

**cosyfiep** · Jul 29, 2008, 11:48 PM // 23:48

hm, lukewarm on this one...if they added double factions points now that might be worth something.....however just xp (dont need) and gold (even double is not enough for the time)...isnt enough to get me to vanquish.
