Anyone else notice that AB hasn't been beefed up like HA (USELESS) or things like that? I'm really craving an all out buffet of FF on Balth and Luxon Faction. I could REALLY USE SOME.

So 1,250 faction when you win + faction from kills, isn't enough for you? What more do you want?

Instant Titles would be my guess. Everybody wants something now, and they want it faster than everybody else.

~8 Wins = 10k Faction
200 Wins = Level 1 Faction Title.

To me, that's fast.

*sigh* what I want is like a half double on the faction. so instead of 1250 per win we get 1875 faction or maybe just double it. and double the loser's too. Look I'm just suggestion to add some bonus to ab cause it hasn't been done in a while.

If PvE'ers think they can make a profit or even just break even doing AB for Amber/Jade then it may draw more people to AB so we don't wait 10mins for each battle

Saying 200 wins per tier is all well and good but thats 10hours of waiting in between games.
10 Hours came from wait time seems to average to 3 mins for me (ranging from first timer to 10+ mins) yes i'm sad i timed it

The waiting isn't because no one is playing, it's because there can only be 2 or 3 games going on at one time.

I think it's around 5 actually. Have to ask Gaile for that one.

That's an old myth perpetuated by people in AB outposts who were looking for a reason for why the timer hasn't started yet. It has been proven wrong. Back when factions was super popular and a lot of people were abing, like 12 people in my alliance would be abing at the same time, all in different ones.

anyway, /notsigned
Faction gain and Bathazar Faction gain are both WAY higher now then they used to be when Bathazar Faction was first introduced. Its actually pretty easy to get now. Everybody wants something for nothing...

but with all the downgraded prices it takes forvever just to get 5k. Plus you have to account for guilds that have faction requirements.

Look, I'm not asking for the world on a fricken gold plated plater. All I'm asking is for some weekend event to help those loyal abers with guild faction reqs. to make it easier so they can actually farm some faction for jade or amber. (and if anyone says "well get out of your guild" all I have to say is this: I rather like being in the alliance that owns cavalon)
