Don't you think it would be a nice incentive to get PVE players to do some casual PVP by offering rewards for tourny tokens? People that do pve/pvp really have no use for the excessive amounts of Balthazar faction that accumulates after they unlock all skills and upgrades on their accounts. A lot of players just waste the faction on the tokens just so they don't feel like they aren't gaining anything for their efforts. Some people aren't interested in GvG and hero battles so they do not play in the tournament system.

Some examples would be items for titles like sweets, or alcohol, maybe a merchant resale value could be added to them? Nothing fancy, wouldn't want to upset people would we. I'm sure some nice possible uses for these tokens could be thought up and inserted into the battle isles.

Also make them redeemable at the priest of Balthazar for the equivalent amount of faction that the tokens are worth, which is 1k faction each. This would also create a market for them as well, and only be fair for investing your time earning that faction playing PvP.

These are just some ideas, and this topic has been thrown around A lot I know, but the topics always used some other form of imaginary "token" that didn't exist in-game at that time. Since we have tourny tokens, purchasable with balthazar faction now maybe some of those ideas could be added to lure some new players into the PvP side of Guild Wars.

Thoughts, comments, ideas?

Give them a merchant value of 200g or so (5,000 faction=1k=okay), and something like 5 tokens can be traded in for a Flame of Balthazar (5,000 faction=1k tradable faction=okay). I agree that gold would be an incentive as my PvE characters are PvP-ready and don't really earn for their efforts, instead earning things for my perma-PvP characters, but I'm running out of unlocks anyway.
