Default Faction Emote

I have a few ideas regarding fame:

Example: 100 000=rX
300 000=rX
700 000=rX
1 500 000=rX
3 100 000=rX

For this to work it will require that the Faction Cap be adjusted. Having 10k available fame can remain, but the account's total faction will need to be able to increase even when everything is unlocked. This will provide an incentive for those Rank 12 Wizards to continue with PvP. People who are unable to find Tombs groups and CA instead will greatly appreciate this as well.

The only problem I see with this is striking a balance between Rank and Fame. There would be no point to this system if by acheiving rank X, by default you have enough faction for the Faction Emote level X.

I hope I have explained my idea cleary-somehow i doubt i did though. Let me know what you think.

I agree.
Factions could be a nice way of measuring experience for PvP

Considering that faction can be farmed from random arenas, you should quintuple that amount, or maybe even increase it by a factor of 10, for each rank at the very least.

And what about those who already hit their faction cap?

If you want an alternate ranking system aside from the tombs fame system, have one for GvG, have it use the guild rank coupled with the amount of battles that the player participated and won with said guild. That being said I don't feel that one is entirely necessary.

As inaccurate as they are, fame is supposed to indicate experience and skill with tombs.

Having a rank system based on the dregs of PvP - random (no explantion needed =p), and team arena ( good concept, lack of good competition), would quickly make it meaningless.

While it would be nice if non-Tombs areas has some actual point to winning in (right now they do not), giving emotes for them would kill Tombs. No one would play in Tombs any more since it's way easier to get emotes from the other areas. So basically you'd just be swapping the problem from one area to another.

Same deal with giving emotes for GVG. Why would anyone wanna bother with Relic Run maps, 3-way gankfest maps that involve as much luck as they do skill, and all the other grief that goes along with winning in Tombs when they could get their emotes much easier via GVG?

If they were to allow faction to be exchanged for fame points at a very, very miniscule rate, then the idea of this thread might make sense. Something like 5000 faction for one fame point.

faction from arenas isn't the same as tombs worldwide fame/rank.

what if your character made rank 6 before faction, and now you have over 1000 fame, but less than 100,000 earned faction... it happened to me

and... what if you already have all the skills / runes unlocked and now your faction is capped... also happened to me

I never stated what i though the faction per fame per level should be. I realize though that it would have to be very high. 9 Million fame though for rank 3 seems a bit excessive.
