Hmm can you only get it through kneeling at certain statues? Why not make it so that every time you get a skill from a certain profession you donate to that god. Like every assassin and mesmer skill/insignia/rune goes to lyssa, all water magic skills go towards grenth. I don't know, I don't really care for the idea as it is now, although I'd like to see the other gods have a form of faction.

Love the idea, Fox. I also like The Primeval King's suggestion for emotes, maybe when you max out a title.

I think it would be easy enough to go to any god's shrine (ToA or in the wilderness) and donate faction. Only problem is for areas who don't see favor all that often, which is a reason someone probably mentioned a fixed NPC. Whether there is one big faction "pool" or you have to do specific things for specific deity faction, idk. Let ANet decide the details.

This would be a really cool and fresh thing for GW. Well done.

Welllll...

I really like the idea of God titles. But I don't like the idea of using (Balthazar) faction to attain them all.

In my opinion, Balthazar faction is *called* Balthazar faction because you get it by doing the Balthazar/'Warrior' thing of PvPing. Such faction belongs with Balthazar, and I wouldn't have any objections to being able to donate that *to* Balthazar for a title rather than spend it on unlocks.

I think Melandru, Dwayna, Lyssa and Grenth (maybe even Abaddon) should have their own different ways of attaining faction. I don't like the idea of using them all as one large melting pot for unspent pvp faction (though I sympathise with the people who have nothing to spend that faction on).

Love the idea

.

- Completing Quests in that god's realm gives major faction.

- Completing a storyline gives major faction ( Defeating the Lich, Shiro or Abbaddon. )

- Gaining Blessings from a god at an altar gives minor faction upto a certain rank. After that rank the blessings from that god are free IF you have the title of that god displayed.

- Gaining Faction with one god makes you lose faction with all the others. Having a title of your god displayed will make you unable to gain faction with other gods and as such unable to lose faction with your own god.

And maybe an alternative Idea:

Divine Arenas.
- random groups of 4, 5 teams fighting against each other.
- kills earn minor faction for your god.
- winning earns minor faction for your god.
- each team starts with a shrine devoted to their god. You will be rezzed here every minute. These shrines work just like AB control points.
- If you lose control of your shrine your team wipes and you lose, the shrine stops glowing.
- No death penalty
- You can only win by taking out enemy shrines.
- Multiple shrines of the same god are allowed ( 16 devotees of balthazar join, 4 of melandru will result in 4 shrines of balthazar and 1 of melandru. )
- You can only team up with devotees of the same god.
