Yea sure... lets go make UW and FoW open 24/7, then lets go get rid of ToPK and HOH because we dont need that anymore, lets all goto 4v4 and sit there for hours and get bored off our arses, or lets play throught UW and FoW constantly til its boring, lets go grind.. grinding is obviously what this game is all about, infact, free 100-200 damage Crystaline Sword for everyone!

Yep, lets get rid of favor. It truly inspires friendly competition. Just go to any district of ToA when your area doesnt have favor, and you can clearly see that.

Reality check! People don't play Tombs or Hall of Heroes to gain favour! In fact, guess why people played them before this batshit insane favour system was tacked on? For fun!

Original post was about how he hopes the new update will get more people fighting for favour. Discussion has (barely) shifted into anti-favour sentiments. Really, the original post didn't give a topic to talk about anyway, so put stop polishing the Junior Moderator badge.

I put up a petition about this.

But about the update, the battles will be more fun as it will bring back some of the good players.

I don't think it will make things much more competitive or exciting in tombs. There's underlying problems still that make it so most people might get an urge from time to time to play, but then realize the PVP is still pretty effed up and rarely fun at all. With so many other games out there that are more entertaining it's going to take actual effort on Arenanet's part to give their pvp part of the game life. Not tying pvp character creation to the PVE game would be the best start, but that would make sense.

Or perhaps the top guilds should just keep changing their alliance. A couple of weeks back I saw Sissy Boys win favour for Korea...

Yes for fun but to win favor actually makes it worthwhile instead of simply picking up a sigil or 2. Would lose a lot of appeal to me if they took away the favor system without compensating in some way by earning something else..

Getting all the pm's when your name comes up as winning in the hall for keeping the favor and people congratualting..its great.

You put in all the effort for winning to recieve a sigil.. when if they opened uw and FoW all the time people just go solo farm there and they probably gonna un-nerf so to speak as thats what the majority want.. so pve'rs getting more than someone who puts time and effort into the hoh.. loses appeal somewhat.

Sums up the flaws in the WaW system perfectly


And as for this:

those are the only 2 reason i can think of why you do not have favor more than you do.

and by the way i hve waited pelnty for America to get favor when i want to go to UW.

if we do not have favor i do something else (like trying to gain favor)

instead of trying to get yet another aspect of the game nerfed try conformingyour game play to the game instead of making the game conform to you


I could train a chimpanzee to type better ( and give a better counter-argument... )

They had a Korean player leading a team of 5 or more members of the sB, they didn't switch their entire guild to the Korean server, which you can't even do on an American copy of GW. You're incorrect.

Maybe what Anet can do is they can change it from Europe vs Korea vs America to East vs West ....and when logging in there would be an option to choose whether to play on the Eastern or Western server.

This way it can eliminate those racism sentiments.

Of course you love it. Of course you would be upset. You're obviously playing on a server that practically has favor 23 h a day now because the favor system is so messed up, and gets just worse and worse as more active european players move to american servers, realizing how ANet doesn't care that favor system practically separates the players in 2 groups: those who can enjoy the game fully, and those who can only enter the cheap areas, and have never even seen a stormbow drop.

I do love the whole WaW idea as such, but I hate its implementation. Not just because Europe with 100x less players than America cannot compete for favor on equal footing, but also because of all the racism and hatred this system creates.

Why can't we keep the favor system, but link it to certain gods, or ingame regions instead?

you are right. give us an easier skill unlock. after all like you said

RAWWR RAWWR RAWWR: i knew i shouldn't have glanced through this thread but I really can't stop laughing. I think what we really need to determine is the percentage of people who cry the most. Is it the poor casual pve player who sometimes need to wait countless hours sitting at the heals of Grenth for a 15 min smite run, or the hardcore pvpers who would rejoice at not having to share favor with anyone if he could? You poor people!

It is almost obvious after reading 2 pages of this nonsense that neither side will convince eachother..and in reality, it doesn't matter, because its all up to the devs, and rumor is the system is not going to be altered/changed/nerfed/booted/whatever it is you want it to be.

I have an idea, go out, get layed and come back to the game with an open mind, and a willingness to have fun, not to spam discontent about an aspect of the game that is slightly out of your control.

gooday

I like the idea of fighting for a faction that people/guilds could join that would be cross-cultural.
