This is a real concern.

Anet, please move (or copy) the faction rewards and scribe NPCs to the AB outposts for this weekend!

sold off 130 Jadeite to Trader this morning - the prices will only drop soon

why on earth are people about complaining about the priceing of these rare materials... jadite/amber for a long time now has been dirt cheap and i don't think that 300 gold is going to make the diffrance.
bring back the 2k price of amber/jadeite if you really want to condsider what is at best a terrible form of pvp as an alternative soulution to farming, lobby A-net to have a place where you can sell your amber for ridculess amounts of money.

Things will go as they have for weeks with minor fluctuations.

Things that will fluctuate:
-The Maps will swing end to end, back and forth, faster.
-Jade and Amber will crash in price during the weekend.
-Resellers will buy cheap Jade and Amber
-Resellers will make a fortune when prices rise again.
-Life is good.

The good news is that once Nightfall is released, amber and jadeite prices will likely increase due to not as many people playing Factions. That is unless there is a use for amber and jadeite in Nightfall, which I highly doubt.

I guess what I'm saying is that with prices dropping, this weekend might be the right time to become a speculator.

One of the things I've never understood about AB is how ANet messed up the incentives.

I'm Luxon and when we push far into Kurzick territory I almost never AB. Know why?

1. The maps are tilted in the favor of the Kurzick the deeper into the ancestral lands you get. (Not complaining, this is how it should be. Kurzicks should fight harder and be harder to defeat on their home territory.)
2. The faction earned for winning is static, regardless of how far you push into the Kurzick territory.

What does this really mean? It means when Kurzick own a lot of Luxon territory I'll be found doing AB. It's incredibly easy to win (80% or higher success rate) and I can earn way more faction/hour that way.

So in effect the side that pushes deepest is penalized the most. If ANet wanted to fix this they would award AB faction in tiers.

1. Home turf: 1X Faction
2. Neutral: 1X Faction
3. Frontier: 2X Faction
4. Ancestral : 3X Faction
5. Capital: 4X Faction

That's incentive. Harder maps, but way more reward for winning.

Until they do that, I hope Kurzick push deep into my own territory. 15k faction/hour is easy to get at that point.
