Can't count the number of times me & my guildies had to pay a visit to the temple of balthazar or the guild hall to trade in factions for zkeys in between AB & RA games.

Can't be too hard to have an option on the priest of balthazar for trading factions for zkeys can it?

You get unlocks from a priest of Balthazar, not rewards.

Can't be too hard to press g, go to guild hall and get a zaishen key when you have full faction, then press g and press leave guild hall, can it? /notsigned.

Add it to the Factions Rewards guy instead...

/signed, because I hate having to leave just when I've finally found a good team in AB who actually KNOW HOW TO CAP.

See my point about teams. It's not always about being lazy... The faction cap can be filled in with just a few wins, and unfortunately AB teams tend to be impatient and unwilling to wait for you to take a trip to the guild hall...like I said, if I find a good team I want to keep them, not have to go running off to the guild hall ever hour only having to start again when I get back because the good team I FINALLY found got someone else...

My faction cap is at 45k, but i don't see what that has to do with anything?
They added the faction rewards guy to AB maps to prevent people from having to go back to their GH everytime their factions full so why can't they do the same for zkeys... you do use your factions to get it and that's what priests of balthazars are for - spending ur factions.. it doesn't make sense to have it with the tournament guy imo.

It's quite annoying for places like HA and AB, but instead of adding keys to priest, why don't they just add tolkano to those areas?

I'll sue Anet for giving me carpal syndrome after spending 3k rewardpoints and 110k faction on keys

If you find a good team, they're going to want to be playing with good players, and everyone knows how hard it is to find a good player in AB, let alone a somewhat decent one. If you're good, they're going to want to keep you. I really doubt they're going to attempt to find another good player in districts filled with complete morons because you took 15 seconds to get a zaishen key.

Poll?

/signed for adding it to the Priest of Balthazar. These are usually on the ouposts of where Balthazar faction is gained (PvP outposts) so you don't leave the place to buy them.

better idea. And the option to purchase a maximum amount of keys possible (much like amber/jade) would be nice aswell.

They can't add the tournament guy to every pvp area because he serves a purpose for the ATs. For example, Tolkano in HB displays HB tournament results and the one in the guild hall displays GvG AT results... what would a tournament guy in AB be used for?

Besides, like I said, it makes sense for the priest of balthazar to trade zkeys for factions so everyone just need to visit him for any & all balthazar faction trades... as it should be.

Sorry, forgot to create poll and now I can't add one

Adding keys to the priest of balthazar would probably only great more peope that use there faction on keys instead of unlocks.

But i agree on adding Tolkano in HA and AB and yeah the option to buy more keys would be a very nice addition

The first thing that came to my head reading the title was "KEYBLADE!!!"

Stupidity aside, /Signed to add Tolkano there. Also /Signed for the ability to buy multiple keys at once.

Yes you can... just go to thread tools. Had to do it myself a while back, so it's definitely possible. It's the drop down menu left of the search menu... Can't remember if you need to edit the original post to put it in, but I'm sure you can work it out from here.

There is a tournament guy in great temple of balthazar, that displays all ATs. Give me one good reason why such a NPC couldnt be added to other outposts aswell. Get your facts straight before you start to lecture someone.

So you are telling me that you are filling up the Bal cap before you fill your 10K alliance faction cap. I find that hard to believe unless you are not cashing in your facton. Just dump your bal faction prior to ABing

Well let's see... a tournament guy is for... well... tournaments, and afaik there are only GvG & HB tournaments in GW so I don't see the point of adding him to places like AB for the sole purpose of providing zkeys unless if there are going to be AB tournaments?
Great temple of balthazar is the central portal for anything pvp related so it makes sense to have tournament information there.

Whereas a priest of balthazar is used for trading your balthazar factions for things and since you trade b-factions for zkeys it just makes more sense to put them on that guy instead of the tournament guy.

Anyway, I dont care how it's done as long as anet provides a way of allowing you to get zkeys without having to leave your party and the pvp area.

Nah. Tolkano is the one that gives the Keys, Tolkano is the one to be added elsewhere.

I really see no problem with the way the system currently is. I'm always in my guild hall where Tolkano is and use my Balthazar faction there. But I can't count the number of times I accidentally went to the Priest of Balthazar first by mistake, since it's Balthazar faction after all. So they should at least add the Zaishen key option to the priest.

These 2 guys.

/notsigned for keys to Priest of Balth, since, except for HA and AB, Tolkano is usually only about 10 steps away from him.

has been said since day one zaishen keys is out, tolkano has to be everywhere! but seeing that no representative has visited this forum, I doubt any words will reach the developer.

they rather have Toluus, Zaishen Adherent there on the RA beach that does nothing. :P~ (at least I've never seen anyone visit him)

Those of you that want tolkano there but don't want to add keys to the priest do realise that if they add keys to the priest, then tolkano doesn't need to be there, right? right? Cos I'm really failing to see your logic here.....

Because getting the actual NPC is so much better than just getting one of his many functions.

You never know what they could add to Tolkano in the future ...
