You'll rez down near the cathedral and can run to Altruim Ruins (still can't get into House zu Heltzer).. This is because the other shrines are usually controlled by the Kurzicks..

You Know you can call the Guards that the shire and then you can res at them don't ya? Just talk to the Priest and either bribe him or slaughter them that solves any res shrine problems

Imperial 15k is better than kurz and luxon

The point of the line is to control territory, if u control town u can get like stuff from that town without being a luxon, and elite missions suck for everyone else who doesnt own Cavalon and House zu Helzer

The faction line affects who can control the (pointless) towns, and who controls the res shrines, which only really matters in unwaking waters, so far as I can tell.

Causual players are going to farm lots of faction?

That's true too.

I've met people in game that would rather enjoy themselves and the scenery than worry about Alliances and grinding Faction for weak Elite areas.

No one plays the terribly implemented 12v12 battles, that's why the lines never change. It's not fun to wait up to an hour just to get into a game where winning is purely based on if you're lucky enough to get a smart team that does well with the lack of communication.

And whats with the Jade Quarry? I've been in both the Luxon and Kurzicks several times and there were literally 2-4 people in there total. Is this the 4x4 battle? Anyway this could be part of the problem because I'm pretty sure Anet didn't intend for these places to be empty. Maybe we just need more time for places to fill up.

I would like to know what influences the change in the line to the north, as it looks like we are getting beat badly there. If it is the fort or quarry, im not happy. The fort is more difficult for us to win and there is almost no one in the quarry. What are the tangible benefits of shifting the line? I only fight alliance battles for faction.

Also, the line is in a loop round something to the south. Is that a town? If so, how do we capture it and if the kurzicks do, how do i get to this town?
