HFFF = Hero Fast Faction Farm; or to some just HFF.

Basically it's a way to get (Kurzick) faction in less than a minute; 400 faction, 150 gold. Usually in 40-60 seconds, depending on the "runner".

The "runner" has three heroes and one to two hench to run to the designated spots to update the quest. Once they are there they take the quest and instantly get the reward.

There is one for Luxon, but I believe it's at least 2? minutes? Not sure as I'm not a Luxon faction farmer.

The double points deal this weekend is good for those "HFF" farmers to help with their Kurzick/Luxon title. Need 10 million donated to max out; account wide title.

FF = Faction Farming, either Kurzick or Luxon
H(F)FF = Hero (Fast) Faction Farming

As Monkness explained, there is a repeatable quest you can use to do this; also players offer leeching positions for sale.

The more faction you earn, the more faction you can use to buy amber/jade, skills or donate to alliance/guild. For this weekend, every time you spend the faction, you get double the credit on your Kurzick/Luxon title track.

Or just FFF, Fast Faction Farming.

Some use the method of human runners, not as common as Hero runners though...
Every player has a designated spot on the map to where thay make their way. When they reach it, they simply get killed. Full party res at the res shrine at the beginning of the area, take quest - take reward, and done!

This way, more players can join in on the fun per run than the usual 2-3 with Heroes.

Probably takes a few more seconds this way, but some guilds look at it as a guild activity where they are actually DOING something together :P

its using the fact that heros dont spawn mobs and sending then to quest locations. then you take the quest and since you already have the spots covered you can instantly take the reward.

It's another way for GW owners, who can't be bothered to actually play the game, to just click their way through it. So they can say "Woohoo look at my fancy title!".
