OMG I HAVE TO CLICK ON A CHARACTER AND TYPE MY NAME! QQ. What's the big deal? I can see how it would be annoying if you're fff and have to map to cav/hzh/gh to donate, but hardly the end of the world.

I wouldn't mind if it was only 1K per rank.. just some more would be nice

FYI, discounted Lockpicks costs 1,2 k at those traders. The people selling them for 1,25k make a whopping 50g profit per key.

I'm all for increasing the faction cap. Saves me a bit of travelling to my guildhall after each HFFF session.

To make a bit of profit, say 50k, you need to sell 1,000 Lockpicks. You really think those Lockpick sellers in every major town are able to sell that much every hour? Not to mention they just stand there, and can't do any adventuring.

/signed 5k per level

some people farm faction for other reasons than towns, and if people as so concerned with spikes here and there being massive than add another taxation to counter than or up the amount taxed to begin with

/signed, but..

..only at a much lower faction cap increase, I'd like 1k (so I'd have 17k cap at rank 7, a big difference) but a max of 2k faction per rank is acceptable.
Definately Not higher.

The system of town holding and taxation is vorking pretty fine as it is now, but giving people too high faction cap is certainly going to unbalance that.

Going +5k for each rank is absurdly ridiculous. With people storing up to 40-60k and doing huge millions spikes, town holding would become a joke.

A small cap buff such as 1k per rank would cause average players to have around 15-17k pool, clearly not a difference for the system as a whole, but a very nice bonus for the players themselves. A buff of 2k per rank would mean average players pools at 20-24k, which opens some faction spiking possibilities, but so small they shouldn't cause problems. But for the players low rank5 for a double pool, rank10 for a triple would be a very big bonus.

Actually that would add a strategic element ... alliances would have to plan when to spend faction in order to keep the towns and when to hold back.

I've been wanting this for a long time... kinda curious why it hadn't been put into effect already. However, at this point, I doubt we'll see it.

Queue up "Everyone's working on GW2" :P

The faction transfer npc's where added to AB staging areas as a solution to this problem. upping the cap is not needed.

Adding a zkey guy was a good idea however.
