Coridan
This is not my idea originally but I think it would work well here start sarcasm "Lets make it so you can't GvG unless PvEers in your region have killed the most monsters." end sarcasm :P Just to make u all laugh a little. I found it funny :P

Think about this. Maximum party size for elite missions is 12, so unless they allow you to form groups in Chantry with 12 people there will be a town inside this new area. So that could mean after one entrance we will have access to it. Or perhaps it will work like the previous ones where we are taken to a mission outpoust which doesn't seem to be the case. Also if this area will be giving us another hero I don't doubt that we will be able to use them in the elite mission.

New armor upgrades meaning ... attachments or actually new armor?

What I think is fair is that having favor gives you that benefit but your not limited to needing favor to enter.
Zehnchu you are half way right. When you kneeled to see the avatar you were most likely at the Throne of Secrets, not Chantry. That is why she popped up. |
However, i dont think having the Favor requirement with a option to access for those without favor by defeating abaddon would be a good idea as it just adds unneccessary limits on how you should be able to access an area you already qualify for by beating the game.
To give you an example, how would you like it if you will only be able to access your guildhall freely when your region has favor, but with the option of entering it by defeating the lich/shiro/abaddon if your region dont have favor, and seening that you have already paid for it?

Oh noes!! Rank Elitism will kill teh pve! All the r8 peoples who are "highly skilled" afkers wont let me in their teams because im only r2. 
How about we actually see if its true before chucking the random insults around?
For the record im betting its not favor based because although Kormir is a god she is not one of the 5 recognised realm gods.

^ which is why its important that Heros/hencies should be allowed in the Elite mission area.
Avarre
So you can develop a powerful solo build and send the heroes/henchies away, getting all the best drops from the end of the mission (if it's factions styled)?

Have you guys ever looked in ur material storage there happens to be a diamond slot and if u cheak rare materail trader he doesnt have it, mabye that will be in the update
Avarre
Diamonds are in the game, the trader doesn't have any as stock is limited and they are rapidly purchased. It's possible they will be a more common drop inside.

Therefore, no one is trading contracts in order to buy them!

Then again, are we saying just because players are smart enough to use their heros creatively to increase their odds of success, we should curb them and place limitations on other player choices of play as well?
To me having Heros or henchman in the Elite mission matters little, since i would prefer to try it out with guildies but for those not fortunate enough to have enough friends to form a party of 12 would of course then have to either go and learn to play the new cookie cutter classes to get into even low LB rank grps or go farm/afk 50k LBPs for rank 8 Lightbringer gaze?
Wasnt Heros Introduced in the first place so that players arent forced to play a class that are only popular in cookie cutter PuGs and play the game normally with their class of choice with either their heros+hencies or 2 friends+(3X2) heros ?
If my memory serves me well, i remember having read the PC gamer Nov issue and had the impression that Heros will be able to accompany them into the Elite mission. (please feel free to correct me as i dont have the mag with me atm) But keeping in mind also that things may change over the course of time.

I've personally been trading all of my contracts for diamonds, and constantly check for diamonds for sale at rare trader.
Ya there's no use for them atm, it's guaranteed there will be and it is wise to stock up on these gems just like it was wise to stock up on the original gem types.

Sounds interesting enough but prob be a place I'll avoid after a few weeks...that is when the new farm builds will start circulating among the masses.

This elite mission is coming out pretty quick, I thought it would take months, anyhow looking forward to it, new amour upgrades/weapons! I can see the little town now, with 100+ districts waiting for the opening.

On the other hand, if it turns out that it DOES require favor, and the overwhelming opinion is that this is a Bad Thing, ANet might be convinced to change it afterwards.
In any case, since there's nothing to suggest that it requires favor other than the location of Kormir's statue in the Chantry of Secrets, I'm not too worried.

I don't think it will require favor. Statue of Kormir has always looked same, even with favor - no sparkling elfs jumping around statue. Although of course that might change with the coming update.
If it would require favor I'm pretty Anet would have mentioned it as well.

KoalaMeatPie
Jackie, You can only Spawn Kormir if you /kneel When you have favour.
And as for what the limited discription said, I beleive that You need to have favour to Enter the outpost, then you can just load then regardless of favour or not.
Think of it as HzH and Urgoz's Warren, Or Cavalon and The Deep,
Then think That "You need favour to go from HzH to Urgoz, but if you loose favour, you will still spawn in the Warren"
Thats just my specualtion, seeing as they said there will be "Four different areas" (So I am thinking it is on a scale similar to the UW) So, Outpost with 4 Different Exits?

I'm thinking it'd be fun if there were mobs of Shiro's. Anyone else itching to beat up 8 Shiro's with impossible odds, at the same time?
jackie
Yeah that was my bad.
It would sound a little bit absurd though "Domain of Anguish opens this weekend", players roll the update and notice that they can't go explore because some other region has the favor.
It would cause so much bitter talk especially if one is not playing in Europe/America districts.
I'm still keeping positive thoughts about it.

I am guessing it will be in this new area where we can (officially) gain the 9th rank of the sunspears, so perhaps, there will be some evil, undead sunspears to fight?

Unless they are added as a more commonly found material somewhere later, as I mentioned in the post you disputed.

Am I the only one that thinks that you can't even use LB Gaze on monsters inside domain of anguish? Since Abbadon after finishing the game is defeated, shouldn't his minions stop appearing?

Maybe they will allow you to inscribe your old weapons, or maybe the novel weapons are new green weapons of every skin, like green fellblades, chaos axes or even crystalline swords.

Quid Pro Quo
I'm thinking novel weapons will be extremely ornate weapons much like green weapons but with the ability to edit their mods and inscriptions. They would come max req. 8 or 9 always.

I'd say even if he's gone, you still have to clean up the mess he made.
