Atleast the rewards after unlocking with balth faction should be more PvP related or as some others already said maybe gold. But the general idea is a good one.

I don't have all unlocked yet (I'm near) I know people with ALL unlocked, play PvP is in some way less interesting when you win B.Factions for nothing. I remember in my beginning days when I played for B.Factions only (no titles at all in that time) Now I play for titles (and fun) and B.Factions comes alone, I normally have the skills I need already unlocked (and all weapons/armors mods) so ... a new way for spend that faction and DON'T miserably loss it, will be appreciated.
Note: Remember some people actually paid real money for unlock skills in their accounts, so ... that people are making faction for nothing too? This game is old, a lot of people have all unlocked, something must be done about. Thank you.

Imagine getting gold everytime you kill one in PvP, hahaha! Why not? |

I never use Faction... At all...
Everything I've unlocked, I've unlocked through PvE play. However, this idea intrigues me.
It would actually give me a use for all that Faction I have never used...
/Signed if rewards are small.
The biggest thing I'd ever expect to get from trading Faction would be a new (and permanent) hat or something that is like an event item.

Well some people seem to be against it, since pve rewards are the only thing anyone can think of. One obviously can only get pve rewards or aesthetic rewards because unbalancing pve a tiny bit is fine, but the slightest imbalance of pvp has terrible consequences.
At the very least, and I don't think ANYONE can be against this, one should have the option to "burn" your faction. As in annihilate it's existence. A balthazar faction title would be very nice, but it's not possible without something like this.
Or, and it may be worth making a new thread, have the ability to donate balthazar faction for a contest! Like the country with a highest amount donated during that hour gives its country a +2 morale boost for HoH or something. Or whatever

Gold for pvp is just wrong and should never happen.
As I stated before converting faction into tittles would be acceptable and balanced.
As for the Kurzick/Luxon argument regarding gold as rewards, AB is more like pve than pvp and you can acrue 10000 points via quests in pve, so it has little or nothing similar to Balthazar faction.

Maybe 15k armor for PvP should be available for mass-quantities of Faction?
Maybe Faction could be traded in for booze and other event items?
There are multiple ways Faction can be burned... The community can come up with some great ideas that maybe ANet will implement.

i'm full unlocked and i would like to spent my faction away.
the rewards could be something like.....a title? like "friends of kuzicks/luxon" but for balthazar (with other name ofc). Yes just for the title, no inerent bonus or something similar...just the title, no benefict at all....this way you could keep wining your faction, keep spending and without huge rewards...

But with Luxon/Kurzick you have an option for exchange for money and armor, so .... I want something like that with Balthazar Faction 
EDIT: I don't agree the idea of having 15k armor in PvP characters; That armors are "special". They could instead add ALL not 15k armor to PvP armor selection (not related to Balthazar Faction indeed, just add it with a patch)

The idea of pvp for gold makes as much sence to me as gaining Fame for pve play.
Saying that AB is the same as the other pvp is just ridiculas, its based on the pve concept of Kurzick vs Luxon and has rewards equal to the pve quest rewards for aquireing faction for either side.
Above and beyond all of that, pvp players do not need any gold since its of 0 use for pvp.

Ok explain to me how you need gold to unlock skills when this thread is about having to much faction???
Yes gold items are dropped for winning the Hall of Heros, and when you win it often enough in a row you unlock two pve areas...this is a flaw that needs to be fixed and is in no way related to what you wish to do with exess faction points.
I will repeat myself once more...
The ONLY acceptable use for excess faction is to convert it into titles in some reasonable ratio.

PvE rewards for PvEing will negatively affect both.

The idea I've seen among alot of top players is that they'd like something back like the Flame of Balthazar. It would take some amount of faction, 5-10k and turn it into a Flame. This way when a PvP preview event comes out, those that have been UAXed can use their full faction and the Flames of Balths they have accumulated to unlock more.
You can not exchange faction for armor because this and weapons skins are the only 2 remaining reasons to run a PvE character in PvP. Also money for Faction would more then likely destroy the PvP community, not that it hasn't already been killed off.

I like the idea, but the prizes need some work, most of those are PvE prizes(storage, sugar rush, key)and an additional char slot is just overboard, even at 1mil faction.

I'm sorry i just really don't get why having a pve reward for pvp is so bad... Hall of heroes not only gives golds but it also affects favor which is a huge part of pve. In essence, the ENTIRE point of hall of heroes is pve when you get down to it
Besides, money is just a general reward that is useful for anyone. You don't tell a movie star he shouldn't get money because it doesn't affect his acting, do you? Thus, why in god's name is earning money from pvp bad for pve?

A side effect of granting gold for faction is that it would create a vast number of pve players entering into pvp to farm faction for cash. These would not be your standard pvp players and would degenerate the current pvp climate down below even the current "roll for victory" mentality amogst many pvp title seekers.
