Once you have achieved full unlock there's really nothing left you can do with balthazar faction, so how about special prizes be given after this milestone?
Here's how it would work. There would be a priest of balthazar who will turn 1k faction into a medallion of recognition. These would then be traded in for prizes at another trader.
Example prizes:
1 medallion:Beer, rice cakes, flame of balthazar
10 medallions:Obsidian Key (makes up for the fact that nobody chest runs really after the nerf)
100 Medallions: Increased storage size (Eventually storage size would max out)
1000 Medallions: Extra character slot
Continued rewards for faction

Each campaing will be more skills at least one more hero (thought they should be at least one per new class...) and more insignia and maybe rune and weapon unlocks.
Ho much time takes to unluck all of that?

I do agree there should be prizes for faction. I've lost roughly 300K faction from being capped.

currently, i have all the insiginia, weapon, shield, and focus upgrades unlocked from iding stuff while working on wisdom titles. I have all elites unlocked from going after the skill hunter titles. I own all ele and mesmer skills on my main character so those are all unlocked. I also have all the monk, warrior, and necro skills unlocked so far as well as a many of the skills in the other professions. Since I currently play mostly on my ele, the other profession skills will be unlocked as I start to play the other professions more often.

...wow... the only two examples that still can't be used by PvP characters. Congratulations.
Flame of Balthazar is worth 1k faction, it shouldn't be a free trade, free trade doesn't exist in GuildWars.

Anyways this solves two problems:Allows increased storage to those who work for it and
Allows for a balthazar faction title since continued rewards allows people with full unlock to dump their faction

No PvE rewards for PvP. The direction for the last few months has been seperating the two aspects of the game, which is for the better. I do agree with rewards for PvP though, maybe some nice armor skins or something for PvP characters(make us grind for it 10x as hard if it makes everyone happy 
). No reason looking pretty should be PvE exclusive.

How about every 10k Balthazar, you get 2k gold. Now you have something to work towards and in the time it takes to get 10k Faction, you could probably farm 15k gold. So its not that bad to get a little sum of 2k.

Gold for Bal Faction would be great. I'd go leech faction in RA and HA. It'll make up for all of the PvP people who stand around and leech in FA because it's not "real" PvP.

THey will never give Charactr slots ingame. You'll always have to pay them.
Either by preordering, purchasing them or by buying new chapters.

I'd like to see a variety of unlockable armor and weapon skins, possibly even skins you could NOT get in PVE, EVER.
Not A Fifty Five
I think the unlockable pvp only armor would be a cool idea, especially since the pvp type armor should be more "professional" than the dirty rags and such grimy mail you'd wear for adventuring.

Definitely have to disagree. With the speed they're coming out with chapters it's not giving a lot of time to have full unlocks, and even for the few that are, I'm sure they're still PVPing for the Champion or Hero titles. Those are some good incentives right there if you have everything unlocked. Not to mention you could have faction because you PVE too much or you paid to unlock all the skills for your account.

I like your ideas, except for theses prices:
A medallion can be exchange for example to 1 platine, or 1000 balthazar (so you can trade/give factions), a signet of capture...
10 medallions can be exchanged for a sigil
100 medallions can be exchanged for a full armor, or an Amulet of the mists that you can exchange for your pve character.

I agree with faction for gold, Its hard being in a PvP guild and trying to scrape in the plat for my PvE chars.
This would convieniatly solve both

naw. thing is there is always another chapter to unlock....
Now I still think it should store up for those times and not cap out... I know I would PvP more if I knew that my efforts would be rewarding for me ONCE the new chapter comes out. As it is I play a little PvP shortly before a new chapter so its all maxed out. Then I unlock as much as possible and play what I love which is PvE.
Now if I could exchange the max faction for those... Oh I forgot what they were called... but they gave you 1000 faction when used. Then I would stock pile them for use later when a new chapter came out.
The only down side would be people selling faction... Which if that was done I know would happen unfortunately...

If you're maxed out, you can go for titles to increase your faction storage to unload more on the next chapter and show off.

Just let us unlock different weapon / armor skins with faction. Make each unlock cost 5K+ balthazar faction.
Don't include Obsidian armor, or green weapon skins. But include everything that isn't available.
Let us unlock armor skins from other campaigns, too.
Give us something to spend worthless balthazar faction on!

I'm not a hard-core PvPer myself, but I've seen similar complaints from a lot of my friends. I'm not sure about the extra storage and character slot ideas, but I like the idea for PvP-only armor/weapon skins and stuff. Or maybe you could trade in some number of tokens for access to an exclusive PvP arena for "Pro" PvPers.

Basicaly your asking for a pve reward for doing pvp.
The rewards for pvp are titles, helping out your guild/alliance or taking the Hall of Heros for your region.
If you want pve rewards then you should play more pve.

I already have everything unlocked and I don't pvp much. ..
Currently my balth faction is just sitting there now being useless. Would be nice if I could use it for something else when I do pvp.

Pve rewards were all I could think of, pvp rewards would only unbalance pvp. Unless, as someone suggested, you could like unlock different armor skins etc for pvp only characters.
Crom The Pale
I did give this some more thought and the only thing I could come up with that would keep all things balanced was to allow the Faction to be dumped either into another faction, ie balth into luxon or kurzak for the tittles, or converted(with a ratio) into another tittle.
An idea might be to convert 1000 Balthazar faction into 1 point of Fame.
or 10 000 balth into one Gladiator point.(note: just examples not sure what ratio would be fair)
Things like this would give you a new use for your points without unbalancing anything.

Just add a tab in all Balthazar Priests, with exchange 1 Faction for 1 Gold (just convert Faction in gold) That way people will go and play PvP instead of farming all day.
Imagine getting gold everytime you kill one in PvP, hahaha! Why not?
