What does PvE farming have to do with Balthazar Faction (a PvP concept)?

Only if it's skill points on a pvp only character.

Either 10 Skill points = 1k Faction

Or 1 skill point = 100g

Or something involving large amounts.

Novel, but the amount of xp people get from certain farms just kills the implimentation of any sort of plan like this.

Kill raptors for Zkeys? Yummy.

I want something useful to do with my farmed skill points, seeing as how I don't use Consets.

[ EDIT ]

Why, Hawk? You'll never make skill points as fast as you can make Balth Faction. If the exchange rate was fairly close, you could still have to spend massive amounts of skill points, considering that the cheapest Balth Faction expenditure to unlock something is what, 1k?

[ 2nd EDIT ]

Why should PvP'ers need Balth Faction for ZKeys anyways? ZKeys generate PvE CASH, what does a PvP'er need with PvE (since that is the general argument I always see; if they don't play PvE, wtf they need cash for?).

Still, if this had an equal variant geared for PvP players to get an exchange that they could use if they wanted, it would get more /signed's.

Exactly why /notsigned

What not have weapon rewards.

100=A basic weapon
500=Fancy weapon
1000=Exotic

All customized.

Then I would /sign

Uses for old skill points you'll never use? Absolutely.
Converting them into balthazar faction? Hell no.

**Marty Silverblade** · Nov 14, 2008, 04:34 AM // 04:34

Maybe if there was an option to trade skill points for various other things other than consumables. Seeing as I don't need them, and even if I did, I have a crapload of sugar from halloween/wintersday/whatever, then it'd be nice to put my skill points to some use.

It seems fait to me that if I choose to not use consumables (not make the game easier), then I should be able to get some other kind of reward for it. Whether balthazar faction is the right reward, I don't know, but I'd like something.

Use them to buy: Powerstone of Courage; Grail of Might; Essence of Celerity; Armor of Salvation; Scroll of Resurrection; or xfer them to a new char who needs skills with a Star of Transference.

This. It would be a disgusting gesture to allow PvE powerfarmers to buy keys through farming experience.

Get real people, even with huge xp from solo farming there is no way this will really help people get THAT much closer to the INSANE cap of zrank. Using the example of 10 skill pts = 1k faction you would get 50 skill pts = 1 zkey. I hazard to say there is nowhere in the game one can farm 200 skill pts per hour to get the average of 20k/hour that most of the best spots give these days.

Also, "PVE powerfarmers" are exactly the people that buy zkeys now. There will still be demand for the hardcore pvp'ers to make cash from their zkeys.

Shasgaliel · Nov 14, 2008, 09:01 AM // 09:01

not for balthazar faction but for luxon/kurzick faction, Then I will sign. Otherwise big no from me.

lishi · Nov 14, 2008, 09:23 AM // 09:23

won't happen, anet what people play pvp. Not farm skill point.

You will have to gain your zaishen key the pvp way

If they did this i would be so rich i could buy ArenaNet and implement 7/8 Hero's and bring back Ursan and remove loot scaling.

No flames plz...im only joking.

Chieftain Heavyhand · Nov 14, 2008, 12:51 PM // 12:51

Buy consumablas and sell them.

I think they said you cant sell the new summoning stones but maybe they should allow them to be sold as well.

/not signed on the trading skill points for factions would kill the market for z keys.

Shadowhaze · Nov 14, 2008, 12:59 PM // 12:59

It would be nice to have some sort of use for them. I usually only use them to buy Perfect Salvage kits.

Haha, faction would be interesting. But I donno. Just some use other then having them sit there useless.

Yawgmoth · Nov 14, 2008, 01:27 PM // 13:27

I'd really like a real use for MASS skill points and making them valuable but connecting them to PvP faction is totally wrong, so stupid that it's not worth commenting on.

Some things just have to be separate.
