they didn't work for the favor they worked for the max title. And probably 80% of those people wouldn't have got the title maxed if they didn't make the event. So why should they give something back to us that was just a coincidence of those players who only play the events

Am I the only that noticed that the price for rubies and sapphires had fallen while everyone was farming for titles and not only was the favor reset but so was the price for rubies and sapphires (back up to the standard 5.5k and 3.3k). The price of rubies and sapphires should be effected because the place people farm to the titles is also the place where rubies, sapphires, jeweled daggers, and ruby daggers / mauls drop.
Kind of upset since I bought 10 rubies at 4.1k ea then went to bed thinking the price would be even lower in the morning. Logged back on in the morning to find the price reset and the price seemed to be fixed and did not come down for two days. Was really hopping to buy the 48 rubies and sapphires I needed for all my armor.

pfff takes a while to make an official statement doesn't it >.>
I think anet thought paterns are: Ooops, oh well they already have 28K favor. No need for them to have 50K+.
I guess they are working reaaaaaaal hard on GW2....

So no official word yet from anet?
Pretty disrespectful to its client base in my opinion.

B: yeah we deleted it. what are you going to do about it?=same as option A

Greetings,
Well, frankly I just want them (ANet) to fix the favor bug. I don't really care if we (the players) get our favor back or not, because I am pretty much convinced that we won't anyway, regardless of how polite a spin ANet puts on it. Just please ANet, fix the damn bug that caused the loss of favor time in the first place (and let us, the players, know that you did).
Then again, prepare for the bad, expect the worst - if ANet comments on this at all, it will probably be along the lines of "blahblahblah looking into it blahblahblah too complex to fix blahblahblah Guild Wars 2 blahblahblah new <weapons/mini/hat>", and then hope the issue gets swept under the rug, where their silence on this issue suggests they want it anyway.
Merry meet, merry met, merry meet again,

I am sure we'll know more tomorrow and when we have information about this, I'll pass it along. |

In the end it doesnt matter, good gracious, you have another 19 days of favor without adding any new titles, get past it, when the tv station (cable or satellite customers in particular) you are watching has an issue, do they send you a message to tell you what is up?

I did comment upon this, but I realize that not everyone reads every point of contact, so here are those answers and comments:
- Yes, player theory was right in this particular case -- good detective work, guys! -- and the reset was due to a 16-bit ceiling on the code.
- We will fix it so that it does not happen yet.
- We will not restore the Favor, since in less than a day it was nearly back to the numbers it had reached before the reset.
- And when asked whether we will put a cap on Favor, the fact is we don't have set limitations in mind for the future, even while it is true that the enthusiasm that players showed during our Double Lightbringer and Sunspear Points Weekend exceeded our expectations. It seems that players will be reaping the benefits of this exuberance for weeks to come.

Or, if the problem actually is variable rollover, they may have to wait until the current favor boils down.
Roland of Gilead
The current maximum favor is 34,999 minutes. Favor has been at 34,999 and when another title maxing was announced, it didn't go up any more. http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Image:FavorScreen.jpg
edit: Favor is currently hovering just below 34,999, so every few minutes the cap is hit, for independent confirmation.

I actually got a screenshot of it reaching 35k, but it jumped back instantly:
Very odd.
Very odd.
Roland of Gilead
Confirmed, I kept /favor ready in the chat bar and hit it as soon as maxing was announced. It was at 35,000 and another /favor command later it was at 34,999.
Edit: This limit seems to have been placed consciously, as it cannot be explained by merely technical limits such as primitive data structures (int or long, signed or unsigned). That also means that ANet has been fully aware of the favor limit and they just decided that 35k should be enough for anybody.

You see, it would be VERY easy to just add 35k favor to the existing number, and we would be right back to what it was before. Heck, they know the number down the to thousandths of a second when the favor was reset. It would be very possible to just take the 28k we have, and add another 35.90whatever k to it.

I am sure some guild/alliance did this on purpose... they want favor to be erased just for fun...
