Yeah ty very much, I'm really enjoying The Deep and me and the alliance I'm in are starting to learn how to do the elite mission.

Jiao Yang · May 14, 2006, 04:26 PM // 16:26

So can someone clear this up for me..
Do the Crusaders control Cavalon and let people that are not in the alliance play in the elite mission. Also, is The Deep the elite mission?
Who controls cavalon at the moment?

Origin · May 14, 2006, 04:34 PM // 16:34

Still our alliance [The Crusaders], but if we won't recieve help from community [like two 800k+ luxon factions guilds] or a HELL LOT factions donations BkBd will be owning Cavalon within 2hours again. And I presume they won't let anyone to The Deep again...until someone else [like we] will gain cavalon again.

Respect to TC =)

very nice job on overtaking cavalon.

generik · May 14, 2006, 05:49 PM // 17:49

Latest update. TC will be losing control of Cavalon within the hour due to some internal strife within their alliance. One of their officers just posted this notice on GWO, so you better hurry to cavalon and get ported to the deep asap

SirJackassIII · May 14, 2006, 05:58 PM // 17:58

Last time I checked, TC had a bit over 9 million Luxon Faction, bkbd had 130k less, though I heard TC lost 2 Guilds worth 1.6 million faction <.<

It will ruin the market for zodiacs

And? Chest Farming pretty much ruined the market for FoW weapons. Factions ruined the market for Prophecies greens and other rare item skins. Markets are going to crash, it's just a matter of time.
Unless the rumours are true that the ebay Zodiacs are of the BlackBlades...

I meant FoW armor, its the idea that we farmed our asses off and got something and then all the lazy people who did 0 of the work get the profit (like farming for FoW armor and then everyone else getting it for free).

You mean like the time the traders got reset and people bought Ectos/Sup Absorbtion/Sup Vigor/... for 100g?

Well, my alliance right now isn't too great. I love the fact that TC is willing to ferry people because my guild is all about fun, not farming faction.

I don't care if one alliance is the devil incarnate, it doesn't matter. Keep the alliance vs alliance crap off of Guild Wars Guru. We're not a platform to host your flame wars. That goes out to BOTH alliances.

It doesn't matter who started it, even a neutral party, but the responsible thing is to ask it to be taken care of via a moderator or administrator, rather than continuing it.

The next people who post such comments will receive warnings counting towards potential bans for trolling, flamebaiting, and or flaming.

Thank you,

I think it is great that an alliance is willing to put that effort to keeping an elite mission open for all. As a casual player I have no chance to play these missions otherwise. I would be happy to donate faction to the cause.

One potential problem I see is that TC will be overworked just to ferry all the people into the mission.

LifeInfusion · May 14, 2006, 07:22 PM // 19:22

I think TC did a good thing for the community as a whole. Sure it is an elite mission, but it is no fun to be excluded because more faction doesnt always = more skill.

Quajai - What I am about to say, I mean no disrespect whatsoever, and I agree with your first paragraph 100%. But...

TC overworked by ferrying people? I saw that and bust out LOL. Have you seen how much faction this alliance has ? Like 9 bazillion !!! They are overworked grinding faction, - the ferrying is nothing to them. Based on the reaction to what they have done, the ferrying is probably seen as their rewards, as everybody praises how much they are appreciated.

Ok, so again, nothing meant to offend, but I'm sure the ferrying is no problem for them.

Omega X · May 14, 2006, 10:14 PM // 22:14

Leave it to the community to fix the problem themselves when they are ignored. Reminds me of Open Source Software.

Hey, that sounds like a good idea. Hey ANet, could we please have the GW source code for a few days ????

No offense taken. I was thinking more into the future. Like when everyone in the game knows that this elite mission is open to everyone and you just have to go over and find someone from TC (they don't control it now anyway) to take you in. I really don't know how much it consists to taking people in. I was thinking that a TC memeber had to go through the mission with them but that's probably not the case is it?

We chose #2

This whole nonsense about buying faction is just that... nonsense. We were accepting Faction Donations, but I don't think that idea caught on. It's very cumbersome to donate faction to another guild. You have to leave your guild, join one of our guilds, donate the faction, then rejoin your old guild. It's too crazy. It's easier just to invite new members that want to farm faction.

To encourage this, we did a guild competition event. Last week, we gave away gold to the one who could farm the most faction. This weekend, the highest faction farmer will win a mini-dragon from the collector's edition. This motivated the guild to farm faction. That's where a huge surge of faction points was gained.

Plus, you need to lead by example. The guild had a huge surge in Faction once I got my copy of Factions. Once people saw that I was grinding away at Breaker Hollow, others joined in. On the Faction Freeway, others would farm faction with me. We would race each other and we would tell jokes on teamspeak. We didn't have to worry about protecting access to rare items. It wasn't about loot. Plus, we managed to find other guilds with similar ideals. The Alliance chat is very friendly. We say "Woo Hoo" whenever anyone donates faction!

So thanks to everyone that said thanks!

Thank you! Very generous. By the way, are you strict on who you allow into the guild(s) or who you alliance with?

captainccc · May 14, 2006, 10:34 PM // 22:34

Im a bit confused...what happends when you "hold" these. What is different about your guild?

Nope. All they have to do to get in is talk to an NPC in the restricted area of Cavalon. Then the whole team is teleported into another staging area, called the Deep. This is where the actual teams are formed to do the mission. Usually the TC member would just "Leave" the team, return to Cavalon, and start forming the next team.

Now that I see what you meant, I understand your point / concern, but I think it was funnier before...

Hasn't this thread already been done before? Lol.
