However this induces a small problem with the faction accumulation on your account, you might now win 4500 faction at once, so once u are above 5000 faction you best go to convert it in any way you like otherwise you might loose some. Increasing the faction cap in relation to luxon/kurzick rank, like with PvP titles would result in less loss and need to turn faction in. Alternatively one could post the NPCees needed to turn them in the stage areas themselves, allowing a quick disposal without splitting up teams every match.
I know the ideas have been proposed before, but now they become much more important due the large amount of faction you can win. Therefore it is wise to discuss them again and see also what ANet stances are upon this little problem. Yes people will coop with it, but its not very convenient, introduction of increased level cap and/or NPCees in stage areas would majorly improve "the interface". If not wanted to discuss it again then I can of course live with closure or removal of the topic.
