Alliances that own towns in Factions get discount merchants, fireworks, reputation for alliance leader. Owners of cavalon/HzH get access to the deep.

Then they nerfed The Deep/Urgoz with passage scrolls easily gained by farming faction.

Now everyone can gain allegience points by trading for jade/amber/scrolls. There isnt much incentive now to fight for control of towns.

Some suggestions:
1. show small graphics of guild capes and tags of guilds in the alliance when entering a town owned. as opposed to just showing the alliance leader's name. this gives some credit to the guilds because a single guild cant own/maintain a town.

2. better benefits for the alliance, something that gives them an edge for owning towns. i cant think of any at the moment, hope someone can help with that.

HzH is sitting at 58 million faction to hold. Cavalon is sitting at 38 million. Which are the levels I remember from a few weeks ago.

My assumption is that if the incentive was removed, then the levels for some towns would decrease. So unless you happen to have values from before and after the passage scroll introduction that show a decrease, I won't believe that the incentive has dropped by enough to be worth caring about.

Though a while back I did suggest that if your alliance holds a town, your allowed to wear a title showing that you hold that town. And I won't object to showing the other guilds involved in holding the town.

if the benefits were removed as you said the levels for towns would decrease. but all alliances will keep raising their faction level to compete with other alliances.

the passage scroll introduction doesnt decrease the level because they will always raise faction to keep the town. and those alliances and guilds who hold a town dont get much benefit is what i mean.

the incentives for owning HzH and Cav since the begining of factions campaign till now has been the same but has dropped because of passage scrolls. its easier to buy scrolls than LF ferry.
