Faction point question - Guild Wars Forums

Okay. Hello this is my very first post in these forums, It looks like a cool place to state my question. First let me explain my situation.

I started a guild 2 nights ago with at the time I thought would be the best idea to offer money for faction points. Now Im up to 20 members and we are rolling in the faction points Im having a problem keeping track of whos actually giving the points.

I offer 2 plat for 5000 factions and 5 plat for 10000 also 100 gold for anyone that recruits. And I have a select few of officers I can trust with the money to give out and make sure people are giving the faction. So my question is: Is there a way I can see WHO gave faction points and how much they gave?

Please get back to me with suggestions and if there is a way to do that then a HOW-TO.

( Also I was thinking of creating a website and making them do a screenshot process but thats a lot of work )

Thanks!!

Its easy, how some big city owners do it:
- Only Officer Supervised Faction transfers count for money.

That means an officer is present at the guild hall watching who is handing the faction over, and looks in the Guild Window to see how much was given at that one time.

It might be alittle slower if multiple people come in at the same time to clock in faction, but its the best to keep track of it.

Ya but do you trust the officers with the money? or have them record who gave what?

Because thats a lot of gold to give to just anyone online and trust them....?

You're going to have to find someone who shares your interests, otherwise you might have to do it yourself.

Set some conditions. Say that you'll only pay them at certain times, so you're online and available when they go into the GuildHall and donate the faction.

Do you mind if I ask why you would pay for faction ? I could see in the hey-day of faction farming, but since the release of Nightfall, it just seems to have lost its attraction. And even before Nightfall, I guess I don't understand why people would pay for faction, but I guess hopefully you can help me understand that.

Sorry havent checked here in awhile :/

To get more people to join, to gain popularity faster to show that we have the gold to do it.

I figured out a way to keep track also and thanks for all the help. If anyone wants to know this is what I did, After I created the website I made a simple upload form they fill out there name, character name and upload 2 screenshots of them giving faction points. Working really well now.

Thanks.
