Guild Wars 2

I would love to see the weekend events that we saw in Guild Wars 1 (and still do afaik) come back. To me personally, this brought diversity to the game. After school or work on friday I knew that this weekend I would spend doing alliance battles for extra faction and balthazar points to max out my Kurzick title, or maybe I planned with my guildmates to farm bosses the entire weekend to get those special green drops we wanted so badly during the double chance for green drop events.

I really think these weekend events brought players together and also brought retired or bored players back into the game, because they had a new incentive to play for the weekend at least. Certain weekends the events were not my cup of tea but it didn’t matter because I knew that sooner or later something that I really enjoy would be the event. To put it short my impression of the weekend events were that they gave players reasons to try different parts of the game or maybe just dedicate yourself even more to the parts of the game you enjoy the most.

When I thought about it I came up with a few suggestions of weekend events that I could see in Guild Wars 2:

• Double chance for exotic drops from dungeon chests and/or bosses.

• Double chance for exotic drops from world boss chests.

• 50% Increased glory gain in sPVP.

• 50% Increased world experience gain in WvsWvsW.

• 50% Increased chance for Black Lion Keys from champions (www, open world, dungeon champions etc)

• 50% Increased material gain from mining, harvesting or chopping trees etc.

• 50% experience gain from doing events, hearts and killing mobs (alt friendly)

The options are limitless and the numbers can of course be changed to not have to big impact on the economy and stuff like that. Anyways, what do you guys think about this? I for one would absolutely love to see these events come back because to me it would bring a new incentive to the game and it would also make the world more living I think.
