With GW:EN coming out, that is definatley not going to happen any time soon. Anet also announced it had sold over 1 million copies in the last 9 months.

And…..? Can you see the future to a point when people start getting bored with it again? I mean yes there will be new players, but in the future it’s pretty much in the air to what can happen. Unless there is another expansion coming down the pike, I see a drag till GW 2.

I wish we could get some official title numbers out of anet.
yes we have permafavour now...but how long is it going to last?
I didnt mind the old system, and i dont mind the new one. Scrolls has made that irrelevant anyways.

sleeper, you could calculate that yourself figuring how many minutes have passed since the new system went into effect, how many minutes of favor we currently have, and that 1 title = 3 min
and yes the current system is entirely arbitrary. There will be surges like now, currently due to both it being new and people wanting to see it work, plus others trying to wrap up old titles before the new game launches (I wanted to wrap up protector of elona and tyrian vanquisher before launch which I did last weekend). So the whole favor thing is stupid when you have around 2000 minutes of favor. Then things will eventually swing into the opposite area, where it will truly be rare to have favor, and we'll experience thermal death (sorry to bust out the cosmological terminology)
A system that made sense, wasn't arbitrary, and preserved a personal sense of accomplishment is what we needed.

While I see something is definitely wrong with having favor the way we do now, it isn't my main concern. My whole thing with it is just how in the hell do they think this is going to work for two years? People are gaining titles right and left. Eye of the North might be bringing more, but it's still just an expansion. I don't see how it could possibly have enough new titles to keep this going for more than another three months max.
People are either going to get tired of the game, max everything expect maybe the ridiculous titles out (e.g. Luxon/Kurzick), or just not even care about titles. We'll be right back where we started with not being able to access FoW/UW only this time no one will have it. Which, I think is worse.

Yup....imho the new favor system does not mean anything anymore. Anet should give the favor worldwide without any rule.
I am very satisfied because as I live in Europe & play on american servers, I was only able to do FoW & UW during the weekend. why? When America had favor it was very late in the night or too early in the morning....which didnt match when you have a daytime job

err yeah great thanks but that still will not tell me :
1. what specific titles have been maxed during the past X time
2. what titles are in the process of being obtained currently. (in the last 5% of completion for example)
3. how long it takes statistically to max out each indivdual title.
4. "age" of chars and what titles they have maxed.
5. total number of players online at X Y Z times, number of titles being maxed in those timezones.
points 4 and 5 are a little redundant but they would give a clearer overview.
without knowing these we will not be able to correctly estimate a curve.

This is just laughable, it really is
Old system - People Complained.
New System just after implementation - People Complained no ones gonna get favor, GW is gonna Die
New System now - People are complaining, the market is gonna die
The next system after implementation - People are gonna complain that no one get's favor, GW is gonna Die
The next system after a while - i still see people complaining, beuase.... well that's all i ever see on guru now-a-days

The only thing worse than unecessary complaining is complaining that people are complaining. What the hell!
I'm surprised to see this thread get so big. I thought some moderator was gonna show up and go "wuts dis, sum silly gif? bah! locked!!".

The thing you can learn from this, is that GW is far from dead. It takes a crazy ammount of active players to generate all that favor.
Remember how the original complaint was that there would never be enough titles maxed to keep favor on for more then a few minutes?
Hell! I have this game for one year and a half, and i only maxed one title.

Seconded for hilarity. I was about to post the same thing - about how everyone complained that we would "hardly ever" get favor when this new system was implemented.
Yeah, this system isn't ideal. I agree that it's kinda pointless when we have favor constantly, but it's not the freaking end of the world. I'm sure anet understands this and will tweak it over time. Call me naive.
I would be more inclined to complain if favor was so rare that one practically never got to do fow/uw.

People will start running out eventually. It may be a few months but it'll slow down.
