The thing is EU is not just 1 nation. UK, Italy, Germany and the rest of them are in it. You can't really expect a brit gamer to care if a french gamer can or can't go to FOW & UW, can you? The same thing could be said about USA & Cannda.

People who dont care about winning are usually those just trying to get their rank 3's or 6's, the ones who want to win are those who have more dedication

Why can't we all get along?

It never was my intent here to find out the reasons people should have for HAing, only to find out the reasons they do have.

So if favor had no effect beyond the "x' team has won the hall of heroes and keeps/will earn the favor for" message, would it change how often you play HA ?

And how exactly do you know this ?
My intent with the OP was to find out if individual posters cared about favor, not if they thought that other players cared or not. From the responses I see that there are five reasons people HA:
- They enjoy it.
- They want the loot for winning HoH.
- They are earning fame.
- They want their/their guilds name in the victory announcement for all to see.
- They want to earn favor for their region.

To me most of the responses here are people picking from a combination of the first 4 with the 5th option being, at best, just something to make the win a bit more pleasurable.

Which brings up another question. What was the difference between the number and quality of players in HA between a typical weekend and the free UW/FoW access weekend ?

Wrong! I am near rank 7, and I don't care and never will care about the favor. Not entered UW/FoW in months (excluding the special weekend), I am not really interested in FoW armor; Some 15k are better for me, even I like some 1k armor more than FoW ones.

Idea: ArenaNet must add more expensive armors like the FoW one; They could use the Diamonds for that! (as expensive as FoW one)
