Would this be considered "Faction Farming"? - Guild Wars Forums

Hello there.

A few friends and I were interested in using the International District Team Arenas as a means of practicing our 4v4 strategies. This arena is ideal for us, because there is no other way of practicing our strategies against each other. Also, our Guild Alliance runs 4v4 tournaments as well between the guilds, and the Team Arena is the only place where we can stage these events.

The problem is, we're worried that we'll be banned for faction farming. All we want to do is practice and play against teams of our choosing. If we recieved no faction at all, we would be just as happy.

Is doing this a violation of the rules?

i dont think its a violation. and you dont get very much faction points from team arena too. for a gw you get >=300, so i dont think its faction farming.

I dont think there is anything wrong with that, all your doing really is fighting in the arena, it doesnt matter why, your just doing the same thing as everyone else in the arena, although I think theres gunna be a lot of faction farmers soon.
