3) No faction bonus for doing elite missions in HM, only rewards is 3 extra jade/amber + random drop.
4) Not having books retroactive

But other than these small complaints, great update.
Only real issue I see in this list is 1 and 3. 4 is a minor issue, would be nice but not needed nor a real issue. Amatz Basin, and Aurios Mines, SHOULD be difficult. Give some challenge to those wanting 70k faction cap.

I do have a few things I'd like to QQ about:
1) Tomb of the Primeval Kings, The Titan Quests, and Sorrow's Furnace arn't revamped yet.
2) There is no Mursaat Tonic in the monthly tonics yet.
3) Drunkard, Sweet Tooth, and Party Animal are not account based yet.
4) Prophecies, Factions, and Core areas don't have their Prestige weapons yet.

Minor issues:
1) Still so many missing holes in lore.
2) No GW2 info yet.
Not that bad, but annoying to see 10000000 speculations on the Ancient Dragons.

Ok, I'm done.

The one suggestion I would make is regarding the mix of faction when VQ one area (say luxon) under a Kurczik blessing.

There should be an option that allows you to transfer your favoured faction - regardless of which one is the higher. I would have much preferred to say trade in the lower 5K faction (for the title) and lose 5K of the 20K Luxon - and then when the K faction was used up I would be able to cash the reduced luxon for some reward. I dont have a problem with losing one side to get reward on the other but it should let you decide hwo you wnat your reward rather than be decided by the higher total.

Other than that - excellent weekend. Donated 300K Kurczik (and cased in about 50K luxon) - the title is now in reach whereas with HFF it was waaaay off. Did the Deep for the first time, the challenge missions for the first time and had a ball with all the refreshing activity.

Edit - and getting 100 points at Amatz is easy - getting 300 points - that is hard but on 2 days learning it is getting close.

that is actually still faster than doing HFFF before the nerf, you would be sitting there for 7 days doing HFFF with no break to get the title, the new book allows you to get a title on each of your chars and get faction, you can take all of your chars through the game, and this has definatly gotten me more interested in Factions again, cos i used to hate it, but now i can actually get something out of the thing it is awesome.

Hey, tell me about that Aurios mines glitch, so I can gain faction while being AFK too man I like insane scores

And while you're at it, explain to me this 3 permasin Amatz Basin thing. I might start doing that after I've vanquished Echovald, cuz I really don't like PvP/AB/JQ/FA.

VQ Kurzick and Luxon area's is easy compared to Eye of the North or Nightfall.

18,5K Kurzick faction in 40min for vanquishing Ferndale. Finally a good reward for playing.

the way i see it, it's just 1 form of grind changed to another form of grid..

i have clocked almost 7300 hrs on my account, and i still have not got more than 3 max titles at any of the charc..

most of the time, i just log in to chat with friends, do some basic trading, and afk most of the time...

i don't really care much about title, but it get annoying when ppl kick you out of party coz you don't have maxed titles (eg. DoA, or lvl 10 norn during ursan era)... so most of the time, i just play with heroes / henches

Rather not tell the details because it is an exploit, but i discovered it running 2 mms there. And you won't afk alot of faction there, a few hundred at most. but once your is as high as u want it, u'll have to sac urself somehow, which may be a problem seeing how it normal mode.

Charging into a large mob and telling your heroes not to cast is easy.
I found it out because a guildie said the enemy weren't getting any points when they were doing it. Out of curiosity I went there and played it myself and I realised why. Oddly, I've been unable to repeat it.
The faction return was crap though.

actually, that must be another method, the way i get it to work is because i run 2 mms there, after i cap a shrine, the priests start following me trying to heal the minion. the glitch is that the mob would then try to take shrine, they can't kill priest because he following me, so they just sit there with thumbs up their butts. repeat til all 9 shrine are capped, then afk as long as u want.
This glitch has been around sence release of factions, still waiting for it to get fixed.

That's exactly what did happen. I was lucky and got it with one MM. The priests left the shrines, locked to the minions. The enemy mobs seem to run to only a few of the shrines first when all are capped, so only certain monks need to be spell locked.
Never been able to repeat it... the monks just leave my MM for no apparant reason...

I don't see any problem in maxing this, granted it will take some time, but that applies to everything. The latest updates are actually interesting and fun. Me and a friend vary between completing hard mode factions books aswell as doing the jade quarry and fort aspenwood. What makes it even more fun is that I am Kurzick and she's Luxon, we fight together in PvE but are enemies in PvP! If we do get to fight in the same match we get a brief glimps of each others skills outside PvE. Varying between the new ways of gaining faction has introduced fun back into the game, more so than before. Oh and for the first time ever i'm getting gold from selling all the Z keys I get from pvp.

The title is meant to be a grind. An account wide title isn't going to be easy to max in a short amount of time. It is the equivalent of maxing a single char title on all of ur characters; think about it. Do it or don't do it. If your not going to do, don't complain about it. HFFF was technically an exploit and should have been righted a long long time ago. It's fortunate that Anet decided to give us more ways of gaining faction when they took HFFF away.
