Max Faction Title Too High?

Is the maximum Faction Title count of 10 million points too high?
My answer would be Yes.

If you won every Alliance Battle you fought and got the 1250 pt bonus, you would have to....
1)Play and Win 8000 matches.
2)Playing 2667 hours with an average of 20 minutes per match.
3)Playing an average of 8 hours a day for 333 days.

Can I say "Full Time Job"?
Even with the added Blessing of the Luxons/Kurziks and buying Factions skills at 6k each, it would still take an enormous amount of time. The release for Eye on the North is scheduled before the end of the year, and the release for GW2 less than a year later. Who would have the time to finish this title before it becomes obsolete?
This title track might work if they were to seriously increase the Faction points awarded in Alliance Battles.

I think the faction title should be butchered until it is reasonable to obtain max.

/Agree whole-heartedly

Its WAY too F-ing high.

Not only that, but it would have been nice to know we were getting Factions PVE-only skills earlier, so that we could at least work on gaining some beforehand...

Leave the title max where it is, but max out the skills at rank5.

I know the few people who might have reached the top will bitch, so Anet should throw them a bone before adjusting the system. I mean playing should be fun/rewarding on a more consistent basis (A Year of playing? For what Gain? An extra 40 damage on My Kurzick/Luxon skills. Woot!)

Edit: Seut's idea is probably better. Leave the title as is, but reduce the tiers to get full damage from skills. I'd satisfy most complaints methinks.

!0 million is an exorbitant amount even when compared to the lofty goals of the Luck title. Doubling the donated amount is a step in the right direction considering in reality you only need 5 million to max it out. Not that 5 million of anything is a huge amount of grinding or anything....

You aren't going to see a massive change because the elite club of R10+ folks will bitch to high hell over cheapening the title.

Now that you get double faction towards the title by contributing to your guild, its significantly easier to get the max title.
It's supposed to be godly high (because there are many people who FF almost non-stop)

/notsigned

Why do you want the title so badly? KoaBD? There are other eaiser to obtain titles. Do you want it to show off? Well if you make it too easy to get, then everybody will have it and it won't be that much of an acomplishment anymore (sort of like max sunspear).

I dont really care about the title, I just want to be able to have effective PVE-only skills.

I do like Seut's suggestion too.

5 million faction is still very high...

It seemed too high when Factions came out... it still seems too high today.

Perfect right there. Would make it so you can have the skills maxed without spending your life on AB's, and you still have a max title that is really special because of how long it takes to get it.

I guess if the necro or mesmer faction skills were worth a damn I'd care enough to spend the countless days farming out this title. As is its some lame optional content I don't see myself farming unless I get bored of PuGing elite missions. To each his/her own in GW I just can't understand the desire to FFF or AB out millions of faction points. If you actually did this then my hats off to you its a hell of an accomplishment...but in the grand scheme of things its inconsequential and unless you really enjoyed the repetitive behavior a tremendous waste of time. There are infinitely easier ways to reach KoaBD among other things. Cartography is a joy compared to this.

Perfect! Anyway, maxed skill at rank 5 is still too high for me: 875,000 factions? OMG, no thanks!

Absolutely 5 million faction is way too high.

It should be 1 million faction tops to max the PVE skills. Although 500 000 to max the PVE skills would also be perfectly reasonable.

Yes, the double faction makes the title half as easy to acquire. So 8 hours a day for 165 days doing only faction farming, which very few of us will enjoy if we keep at it.

We want it because of the skills that become stronger as we work on the title. Because of the June 18 update those titles now give actual stat improvements, if your willing to grind for them.

I've yet to see a single argument that even attempts to explain why the skills need to be linked to titles. Personally what I'd do is unlink them from titles, and have all players have them at max stats. The R10 people can't complain, because we are simply restoring the titles to what they were when those people were working on them.

I'd probably make completing the befriending quest the requirement for getting the skills for each character.

nope not at all, ive seen some people with the max title so that means it is obtainable. Not everything in the game is supposed to be easy to get, work for it guys!

The skills don't need to be linked to titles bilateralrope its just an attempt to get more people interested in Factions. Whats surprising to me is that unlike Lightbringer there is no inherent benefit towards association or wearing of the Sunspear title or the Faction titles. If on the other hand it did something to modify the character in PvE like LB does along with boosting the title skills it might be half way decent. Maybe give a bonus as a Kurzick to fighting monsters in the Jade Sea and vice versa...just something rather than a senseless multi-million point grind.

/agree

and I'm still pissed off about the 1,000,000 faction I received for playing the game for one year and none of it going towards the a rank 6 title I should rightfully have now.

Well, if multiple players have gotten 10 million, then why can't you? Not like the PvE skills matter, they're still super over powered with a low title. Hell, they're garbage compared to the Sunspear ones anyway.

Why can't we? The people who have maxed the title have really only done one thing since factions has come out, AB.
