Give Faction bonus for donations?

If we get bonus faction (2x the amount we spend) for skills, why the heck can't we get bonus for donating it without getting anything in return? Like 3x for donating it to your Guild/Alliance? Many alliances will never have a chance at getting a town anyway, so why not give 3x the amount towards your title for any donations? You don't get anything from it, otherwise.

It may also help Alliances to keep track of honest members. Honest members would thus get 3x the amount they need to farm added to their title. It'd make it so much harder for dishonest members, as they'd need to farm 3x as much if they're just using faction towards amber/jade.

The alliance would still get 5000 faction, you'd just get 15k towards the title. What's so wrong with that? It seems like it'd make everyone happy.

but 3x is a bit drastic isn't it? How about the same as how buying kurzick/luxon skills. 2x is fine. A option that rewards more for donating to the alliance than trading for one's own financial gain. Still 3x may or may not be a good idea while I do like the gain rate it offers for this grind title.

personally, I would love this since this is a better alternative than buying skills over and over while not screwing town-owning alliances and some other guilds. Even if this isn't implemented, these alliances could make their members to prove their donations by taking a before donations screeny and a after one. Even using programs that take short video clippings of when they are making the donation to prove they aren't shafting alliance or guild rules.

Well, 3x at least provides a significant difference from the buying of skills, thus making sure that someone isn't just using their faction on characters. And it allows you to more quickly build a title that would still require LOTS of grinding.

I still don't understand why people want a skill-related title that requires grinding. I thought everyone was all "NO! LET'S NOT RAISE THE LEVEL CAP IN GW2! THAT'LL REQUIRE GRINDING!" And now everyone's okay with grinding? What gives?

If this title didn't give skills, I'd never EVER want to attempt it. It's just a horrible title, IMO.
