This Weekends Event?

Does anyone know why they removed the x2 reputation points that we had last year for this years event? I was really looking forward to it till a guildie pointed out that the x2 was removed this year.

The "Double Rewards for Vanquishing" actually happened only once - last year, last weekend of may. Usually (both before and after may 09) it's just "Double Gold, Scrolls and XP for Vanquishing". So I wouldn't say they "removed" it, more liked tryed it and opted not to implement it again.

Double Gold, Scrolls and XP for Vanquishing -- 2 October 2009
Starting at Noon Pacific (-7 GMT) this Friday, receive double the gold and experience rewards when you successfully vanquish certain areas in Hard Mode. In addition, we've doubled the drop rate of scrolls, and scroll effects will last twice as long as normal. These bonuses last through Sunday at 11:59 PM Pacific (-7 GMT).

Double Rewards for Vanquishing -- 29 May 2009
Starting at Noon Pacific (-7 GMT) this Friday, receive double the gold, experience, title points, and faction rewards when you successfully vanquish an explorable area in Hard Mode. In addition, we've doubled the drop rate of scrolls, and scrolls effects will last twice as long as normal. These bonuses last through Sunday at 11:59 PM Pacific (-7 GMT).

perhaps they took out the double faction in vanquishing since there were multiple other double faction weekends. (donate double, competitive mission double, AB double)

Except that the weekend counted for SS/LB and eotn reps, and donating and pvp only counts for Kurz/Lux.

IIRC, they've always been inconsistent in the wording of these vanquishing events, and it's always the same each time with everything doubled, including reputation points. I guess we'll know in a couple hours for sure.

ya im pretty sure rep points for completion are doubled even though it doesn't say so

You still get 2x Reputation, be sure of that.

knowing anet you will. ill have to see if it happens .

Nevermind the rep points, who else is super excited about SCROLLS?! I definitely didn't get enough of them from the gifts!

yep no need for more scrolls the royal gifts are giving me PLENTY of them!

Lol after I got a mini Evennia I have no more need of royal gifts atm they are just blah.
This event might actually motivate me to finish of tyria vanquisher title though.

Can anyone confirm that it's double SS/LB reputation for vanquishes this weekend? Might opt out of finishing Cantha to get some Elona rep...

It is definitely double reputation too. I'm vanquishing Ferndale, making this the second bonus weekend in a row for kurzick faction. A little less than last time: last weekend I got around 100k title points/vq, now I'm getting around 80k title points/vq.

Yeah it is x2 for a completed vanq. got 23k instead of the usual 11k-ish for DT. After guildie said otherwise and checking wiki (which mentioned rep. was included last year but not this) guess it was a false alarm. Should get max Kurzick this weekend, woohoo

P.s. -Vodka- I know one of my guildies been doing vanq's for LB or SS, they say yes. Never done those during this type of event so can't confirm.

Oh great. I'll probably find some people to go vanquish with this weekend. Vanquishes can get lonely. :/

Ah thanks for the heads up, I think it's time to finally max those titles on this character
