It might be. I don't know, but I can speak for myself. I have Kind of a Big Deal on 4 characters, almost a 5th. I have Many Leather Bound Books on 1. I plan to get GWAMM on the one character, and will work towards People Know Me on the ones that have KoaBD.

There is a long time until GW2. Many people will either reach GWAMM, or stop trying. Many people will still want to play the game. Using another character allows them to do things differently, and not get bored so easily.

If you want to say people will stop getting maxed titles because they only do so on one character, go ahead. But you can also say those people won't be playing next week, for the same reasons. New people still start this game. Some people have no titles maxed yet. I don't see any concern for Favor, and this little 'bug' is nothing more than an annoyance (in my opinion).

I see, you are speaking from your experience. Very interesting insight actually.

If this event shows anything, it's that GW is far from dead. Feels like the intire continent was farming!

Hell! I play this game every day, and i didn't even max out any of the two titles.

OMFG LOL

Anet just owned the gods XD

Chrono Re delle Ere · Jan 20, 2008, 10:08 PM // 22:08

wow they got owned, seriously.

Furthermore I cannot see any "unbalanced" issue with having 1 month favour; there are scrolls, no need to reset that, people will still go there , favour or not.

To be fair, favor has never got this high, so even if this rule was in place we wouldn't of known about it.

let's start a fund drive to buy anet a usb memory stick to store this incredibly high number, since it's all rubber bands and string at anet

Sheesh, the favor counter overflowed, they didn't do this out of spite. Guess they underestimated how many people would take advantage of the weekend, but that's the only mistake ANet made here. Maybe they'll reset it to max at the end of the weekend or something, who knows, but all this conspiracy-mongering, "zomg why did they takes da favor from us!!!!" is just foolishness.

spite, no. incompetence, yes.

I know it was so weird, we had all that favour. I was trying to get my Protector of Elona title and was redoing the mission for the Sulphur wastelands I was trying to keep all the Junundu young alive when one of them died, I got abit annoyed and used "Feast on courpse" on it when bam "You have lost favour with the gods".

ensoriki · Jan 20, 2008, 10:56 PM // 22:56

Actually I think the US and Europe shared favor Before, and Japan and the other asian country has their own favor counter.

now that the Asian districts are open, I think our favor is pooled together.

Also, they probably didn't code something in case it gets high, and so when the memory couldn't hold it, it dumped it all.

I agree. While it's certainly an improvement over the old PvP-based system, the new favor system is inherently flawed. Sooner or later we're going to run out of people willing to grind titles with unfinished titles left to grind.

Although I was initially opposed to the idea, some posters during the previous debate convinced me that the best solution is just to get rid of the entire idea of favor altogether and have open access to UW/FoW all the time.

ensoriki · Jan 20, 2008, 11:01 PM // 23:01

Nah They should make a new elite zone

and whenever its done we gain favor.

I dunno Melandru's having problems or whatever,
when we beat that mission we gain
a few minutes or something of favour and a green =P

it's pve, pve should be able to get favour by essentially doing pve.
Title farming is just lame

Also, anet wanted to change the favor system to the retarded title-pve based way it is now, they should live with the fact that it was NOT A GOOD IDEA. Give us back the month of favor we earned imo, and since QQ'ing seems to work now, i WILL NOT let this injustice rest until favor is linked to HA again or we get back our 25+ days of favor!

why the hell should pvp affect us pve only players?

So that PVE players play pvp.

You could make it the same as before.

But instead of 1 continent getting it.
They all do

Maybe something like
When HA is held the continents gain 50 minutes of Favour, when a new HA winner happens the world gets another 10 minutes of HA (so if HA holds don't gain favor)

and uh then you get an additional 2 minutes per title.

but I prefer a new elite mission giving favor

Antheus · Jan 20, 2008, 11:09 PM // 23:09

Favor doesn't limit access to UW/FoW (hint: scrolls).

So everyone who wants to quest etc. can do it anytime they want.

But it does affect farmers. Which I guess could probably take a 2 hour break from their 24/7 thingy.

Getting involved into a game to the point where one feels ownership of virtual items is time to take a break for a day or two.

It's just some bits and bytes, that's all the titles are, wasn't this established long time ago.

only reasonable thing for Anet to do: reset all SS & LB titles
