Temple of Balthazar, training area, & Z-keys - Guild Wars Forums

Fox Mulder · Dec 28, 2007, 06:58 AM // 06:58

Hey, I was getting exactly 2k in faction for 2 runs through the training area. It then moved to just under 2k, maybe 1.9k or so. I just finished the 2 runs & got 1k!! I guess A-net doesn't want me to try the Z-chest once every 2 days, with a little AB thrown in!! Is this a bug? The Z-chest sucks as it is & I sure as heck am not spending 1-5k per day on stupid tokens in order to bet or ENTER tournaments.
Edit : First, I can't use the word for heck, you jerk, it will get editted or worse I'll get banned.
Second, I clearly said in message, there was a bug or reduction in the faction given out. A friend didn't get any after taking 2 days off.
Third , 1 key every 2 days is an insane amount? Another jerk.
Fourth, Do you know I'm a PvE'er? One more jerk.
Fifth, Have you tried getting faction in Z-Elite? It's a grind!
I guess I can't post any possible bugs or complaints to A-net without idiots overreacting to a post.
P.S. I really wanted to swear in this post, but calmed down while typing!!

...wait...what the heck did you just say?

And the tokens aren't for betting on tournaments...they're to ENTER them...

I'm not real sure what he said either, but (if I get this right) the faction decreases when you go through the training arenas so that people actually do PVP instead of grind off it. If thats not really what you were asking...(if you were asking anything?) then my apologizes but you really need to type clearer/calm down.

2k faction cap on the training arena, always been that way. If you want to earn more, without actually joining in real pvp, you can either move on to the Zaishen Challenge or Elite. Challenge also has a 2k faction cap and Elite has 6k. Also in any given 24 hour period, you can only earn 6k in faction, through any combination of the above. Its to prevent someone from just sitting in those places all day and earning enough faction to unlock every skill/mod/hero in one day, or in your case getting an insane amount of keys.

Fyi, there's no cap in actual pvp. You can also earn faction through the current snowball arenas, so why not give it a go.

Lame PvE'ers trying to avoid PvP in order to get PvP rewards? NOT IN MY GW!

Funny thing to say after the PvPers where given every single PvE skin weapon for free without having to do a lick of PvE to earn them.

Just play snowball arena. It isn't real PvP. Its real easy. Fun. And you get 100 faction a kill... which is really easy to get. I've been getting 3 keys every 2 days or so.

First: Learn to type, calm down, and then come back to ask your question... If that's what it is... Nobody is able to understand what you're saying.

Second: Closed.
