Curse

Three suggestions; 1 is controversial, 2 and 3 are not:

1. Boost AB faction permanently, this will encourage people to play AB instead of running repeatable quests to farm faction. More fun for everyone.

2. Force-move everyone to the new outpost when the battle line moves, I can't tell you how many times I got stuck in the old outpost for 15 or 20 minutes before we moved ourselves.

3. Preserve parties when moving between battle zones, it's frustrating to lose a group and have to reform every time the line moves.

1. Interesting suggestion that I like, but make sure to only boost it for wins like this weekend, or else leechers will be more of a problem.

2. Good suggestion

3. Yeah, pretty annoying to have to find a new group, especially if you actually took time to make it instead of randomly inviting like 90% of the people there...

1. Indifferent. Only use of gaining lots of kurzick or luxon faction is for maintaining a town. This weekend didn't stop leechers, they serve a bigger purpose in giving losses as individuals or as a whole group.

2. Already implemented I believe although the move takes time. I noticed a possibility in map change 2-3 minutes before being moved. This was after I noticed the wait was longer than the wait previously.

3. Yea, it's pretty annoying but I doubt they'll do anything since the inclusion of the handy feature in Recent Teammates in the Friends menu.

Edit:

2. It does move you after your start the timer. It moved me and my group and separated us.

Waited over 10min to not even see if post went through and it did, twice... Was a double post but now edited to reply to pork soldier.

1: I saw a far lower percentage of leachers than usual this weekend.

2: Once you hit "enter mission" you aren't moved automatically any more, we waited for ~30 minutes once before I rage quit the group and was then transported. The feature might already be supported, but if it is it sure isn't working.

I think they should move the lines more frequently. Friday it seemed I was fighting on the luxon side all day.

I would like to see #1 implemented. Not the 2000 extra points like this past weekend but 500-1000 for a win.
#2, just a notice that says that the battle grounds have changed, so you know that you arent going to get in and need to move.
#3, I dont really care because that is what I like is that the groups are just the first 4 people to say "lfg" and you go.

Not true. My guild cares little for controling a town. Our only purpose for gaining faction is moving through the Factions story line, or if we want to get some armour. Personally, I'd like it if it was easier to get a hold of amber and jadeite. I like the 2,000 extra faction because it was two additional peices of amber, so I'd definately /sign that. Although another possibility would be if they reduced the rewards so that it only cost 500 faction for a peice.

4. Make people be able to carry more faction or donate in the outpost, like in Aspenwood, at least, unless you think it is encouraging to having someone going to their hall to donate after each fight....

/signed everything

It would be lovely to have a donation NPC in the outpost, a lot of times when you get a good PUG group they dont wait for you when you have to donate.

being able to donate in the ab map would be much easier than leaving your team and traveling to the guild hall then coming back hoping that your team hasnt gotten someone else while they were waiting
