I'm going out on a limb here, but my guess is it will return to... well, exactly how it used to be.

No, no one has ever wondered this. Congratulations on a completely original thought.

Then there will be scrolls, or the game will be so dead that it won't matter.

I'm guessing GW2 will have been released by the time we run out of favor.

You mean the days when Europe dominated the Favor scene?

Sure the title based favor system is a little screwy-just look at us with 20k minutes of favor-but now anyone can go down to FoW or UW.

Doesn't mean they'll be sucessful though

And Racthoh-you might wanna start using a scroll or too

It won't, peoples keep creating new chars that will achieve at least one "favor" title.

true, but some of us plan on hanging out in GW as long as the servers are running - which should be as long as someone is hanging out in GW - according to ANet... I imagine there will be others that continue to play GW that aren't moving into GW2.

I still have 14 more characters that have no titles---so it will be a while before I worry about it.

Its been stupidly high since the SS/LB weekend, even after they stole some of it.

I imagine it will be pretty much the same as it was before that weekend.

And if all current players max their titles, there are always new players, and old players with new characters to get max titles with.

I have another question:

What would happen if Anet continues nerfing skills until making them useless?

It's so high because of the double faction/LB points weekend a few weeks ago. Bunch of people maxed various faction-related titles. In fact, it would be about twice what it is now, but ANET screwed up the minutes counter and it rolled over to 0 at one point, and they chose to not give back the lost time because it was OVER NINE TH.... er.... 30,000 as it was.

Prior to that weekend it wasn't terribly uncommon to go for awhile without favor, or to only have favor of around 100 minutes.

There have been a lot of PvE titles farming guilds popping up lately. So I doubt we will ever run out of favor

That's the problem I was referring to

That's assuming that absolutely no new players will start playing. but that's irrelevant. By the time this hapens, GW2 will be out, and most people will probably migrate over to it. So either GW1 will be dead after a while, or they will change it again.

They'll change the number of required titles to enter the FoW/UW.

And if numbers really drop too low, they'll just remove the limit. The purpose of favor is essentially to constrain farming. Once population is low enough, that will no longer be an issue.

30,000 *is* OVER NINE THOUSAND.

1. A-net may link GW1 and GW2 for favor purposes, and use GW2 to power GW1's favor.

2. A-net may realize that this favor system has been flawed from the get-go and change it again when it stops giving favor ever.

3. People who stockpiled scrolls now maymake a fortune. Well-organized holders of scroll collections may field UW/FoW parties that tend to find more than 1 scroll per trip and sell the spares at a huge profit.

No, that wont happen. People are creating new characters every day, going for maxed titles every day, if they got totally bored, then reroll.
And there are the scrolls of course
