As we know the favor system is sucks now.

- Oh MY GOD - ONLY ~2K MINUTES? I will not make it in time (will not manage to do on time)


Well i got simple idea. For example if there's 1,924 mins of favor remeaining so why we won't get any bonuses from that? Let me show you a simple example:

Favor time's remaining - 1,924
Let's double it! - 1,924 x2 = 3,848 - lets take those first numbers. We will get 3,8 and we having 3,8% - It's would be a great bonus to drop rate. Let me get Smite Crawler on example:

Drop rate:
* Gold: 27% + 3,8%
* Equippable Item: 41% + 3,8%
* Piles of glittering Dust: 9% + 3,8%
* Glob of Ectoplasm: <2% + 3,8%
* Phantom Residue: 20% + 3,8%
* Ruby <1% + 3,8%
* Sapphire <1% + 3,8%

(maybe only no bonuses for Rare Materials such like Ecto/Shard/Ruby but well it's just suggestion now)

And yes - I'm farmer. But i think this idea could be nice. Any suggestions for it?

well if you add that 3.8% to the rare items and subtract it from the other drops. The "%" amount needs to add up to 100%, so adding a bunch of 3.8% wouldnt make sense. But if you add that percent to ecto and get rid of some % on equippable item maybe... but 4% is still a pretty small upgrade

Why not have more than 100%?
I like it... even though I haven't got the chance to play GW for a month now...

The new favour system is already a hell of a lot more generous than the old one. Currently its perma access with no sign of that changing.

And you want to make it even better? Not at all needed.

Sucks? Being able to enter FoW/UW 24/7 sucks compared to how it was? How? And "only" 2k minutes? Er, it's continuously renewing, it's always above 1k minutes. 2,000 minutes = approx. 33 HOURS. Jeez.

Favor system is already great now, drop rates are fine, no need to make it even easier.

The only thing I can think about this is giving that bonus to those that got the maxed titles:

You max a title, you get X time of +Y% drop rate for items with extremely low drop rates, like gems, rare skins, dyes, keys, tomes, etc...

Maybe 2x or 3 rate, and for 10% of the favor time there was when you maxed the title.

With 2k minites, it will be 200 minutes of that bonus.

Since no one maxes a title everyday, no one would be able to abuse this.
The fastest ones are also the most expensive, and the 2x or 3x won't compensate the gold spent.

So over the last 4-5 days when I've been on the game I haven't seen favor once. I guess all those whines about the favor system were a bit premature considering GW:EN has squashed the high minutes of favor. I suspect over time when players have beaten GW:EN we will see favor start to come back, but I haven't seen it lately. Just a little curious when we'll see it start to trickle back.

We'll see it back when they add Hard Mode in GW:EN, and give logical bonuses for handing over the completed books. (Current rewards are just ridiculous)
