Queston - does the 10% per day loss of alliance/guild faction ever stop occuring after a certain value is reached? If not how do alliances with 6,000,000 Faction (who must lose 600,000 faction a day) grow?

The 10% loss does not stop, if I'm correct. And alliances with 6 mill Faction recruit tons of Faction Farmers to get Faction. 10 guilds, 100 people max in each guild. Surely at least 1/2 of the 1000 people are Faction Farmers, and if everyone gets 10k Faction a day, 500 x 10000 = 5000000 faction a day makes up for the loss. My math might be really wrong though on the amount of faction people farm and the amount of farmers.

Yes. There's essentially some kind of limit on how much faction an alliance can realistically reach. Even if they have a full 1000 players, there's some maximum amount of faction each player can get in a day. So at some point the alliance will be running in place, rather than achieving new highs.

We surely haven't hit that quite yet, and maybe that number is more like 60 million rather than 6 million. But at 60 million, they'd be losing 6 million each day!

This 10% penalty would prevent anyone from ever holding and keeping a town forever and require maintainence of the spot they attained.

The negative is that it shuts out smaller alliances and guilds from ever achieving ownership of a town.

With the 10% cut -- the more you have the more you'll lose so it actually help some alliances take ownership. It is not that hard if you have guild members that actually farm just 10k per day. Suppose you have 1 mil in your guild so you will lose 100k per day. All you need is 10 members farm 10k per day and you will keep your 1 mil everyday. My guild...well more the like the guild that i am in now, we reached 2 mil in about 3-4 weeks but it is so hard to to just maintain it. People get burn out after a while of running faction. Just some FYI.

Edit: there's no max number of factions you can donate in a day and i will doubt there is a faction limit in an alliance.
