Double Merit Weekend... it'd be like the reverse of a Double XP Weekend... instead of a massive surge of demand and inflation (causing the markets to go to hell in a handbag for a few weeks/months), it'd cause a massive increase in supplies, hopefully resulting in increased competition & decreased demand, likely causing a decrease in prices...
Sounds interesting!

I would runa lot of ITFs/lady grey on both my heros and villians, so i would get a lot of inf/prestiage anyway. Maybe we could by a lot of posters, get the DEVs to think about it? |

Still, I'm up for any excuse to run more TF's. As I recall, I did nine last Double XP Weekend.

The Mentor Project
Would it lead to many solo arcs rather than teaming?
Or repeating the ITF again and again 
x2 Posi might be too much ...
I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.
Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.
So sad to be ending ):
I'd love a 2x Merit weekend. I can't seem to get any rare recipe drops that I want (seriously, RNG, I don't want any part of the Malaise's Illusions set any more0, and I can't afford the ones I want on Wentworth's.
Like I said it would be a bit sick,if done right,fri do all 3 respec,sat do itf/lg/kahn,with
numeria,or citial,filler,then sat night repeat the respecs,and the same sunday.
while the merits are fine, some char need to purchase at least 3-4 recipes for some of the powersets,that now cost over 150 million each that is assumng they are available.Some of the triple recipes for example.,and lets face it with the new powersets becoming avail with I16,there will be another run on the markets.and with GR around the corner.

Oh for Pete's sake, the game does not revolve around the market.
Besides, it would only create a temporary flux, the same as 2x xp.
2x merits; absolutely!

the best I could see,for the players is as we still keep the 2x weekends, which are about 6 months apart,in the middle between them a 2x merits,so that every 3 months or so would be a major event(excluding the seasonal ones like halloween,xmas and valentines)
one of my other ideas is a thanksgiving event with a giant turkey spawning,and picnic baskets, that spawn smaller rabid turkeys, have it happen over thanksgiving weekend,say wed-sun night, ive suggested it in the past but allways get no answer, some game just need a silly event every so often to liven it up

The devs don't really tend to do American-centric events. I certainly don't think people who play on the European servers would be able to appreciate such an event.

You clearly don't understand how the market/ae works. AE has floored supply because people no longer get drops from killing regular minions. Now the majority of the market comes from ONLY ticket drops because those are the only drops you get from an AE mission (unless it is dev's choice). Playing TFs will get you regular drops from the baddies and also merit reward rolls/purchases.

Fine, you're right. I do know how the market works thank you very much, I just didn't consider people playing more TFs. I retract my previous statement.|

EDIT: Sorry, no I don't. Double XP Weekends screw up the market despite increased TF plays. Temporary, but the effect does exist.

Please explain to me what exactly you think would happen with 2x Merit reward weekend. There would be an increase in supply and a decrease in price. At minimum, this event would cause temporary changes. Why would anything else happen. Currently, your last 3 statements in this thread have sounded like incompetence. Perhaps you misspoke or I misunderstood something.
Totally support the idea of a double merit weekend, means people will actually run arcs and use the content for those that are interested in that. I have a number of heroes that I am running with, and they are all running arcs where possible. I am also running TF's for that expressed purpose. So count me in, this is a SOLID idea.

That's entirely a value judgment and one that I happen to disagree with. Yes, all events have an effect on the market. I don't consider any of them as 'screwing it up'. Some people like variety.

I apologize for my egregious behavior. I hope you do not hold my actions and statements in a foul light and do not hold this faux pox as a strike against my name.
Could you please step above such petty behavior and enlighten me with your knowledge and wisdom?
Please explain to me what exactly you think would happen with 2x Merit reward weekend as it relates to the City of Heroes market and specifically market prices.

LOL Exploit weekend! The devs let a random exploit from the past loose, and we all have 48 hours to find out which one it is and use it before it goes back to the black nerf hole. XD
(yeah, right)

I wouldnt care dont get much merits at all so doesnt affect me that much.
