If favor always shifts to the losing side, how is this war going to end?
If its a never ending war, why even fight it? What do you gain from it? Alliance battles doesn't give you any loots.
It is VERY unlikely to get all the good players on one side and actually take over Cantha.
I don't see why we fight a war if there's no personal gain from it. At least guild battles gives you fame and possibly fortune, and HoH gives you fame by announcing your name to everybody in game.
Factions: "Favor shift to the losing side"

It's going to end when the Luxon control all of Cantha!

indeed...
anyway, those Factionsbattles are enjoyable enough just to fight it, i dont need no reward
there is a reward though, you can "own" towns and have a huge discount on the traders there when the line has shifted over that town...
and who knows what they might add for pvp ?

There is another reward. Faction points. I raked in quite a nice sum of Factions points from the few Alliance battles I did. Seeing as many of the 15k sets require Jadeite or Amber, and you can turn in your faction for those, then you can use Alliance battles to get yourself the crafting materials for your armor.
I'm sure there are other uses, but thats the only one I can think of right now that hasn't been said.
Moved this to Factions, since you aren't suggesting something, which is what Sardelac is for.

You've gotta understand two things:
>There is personal gain from fighting the war.
>The war isn't supposed to end

Well, gosh forbid anyone play the game for fun. I quite enjoyed the PvP in Factions. Never got around to the 12v12 stuff, but the Jade Quarry and Fort Somethingorother missions were great.

By the way, is there any real reason why so many people will be choosing Luxon over Kurz?

Now, "story side" of the game, the Kurzick & Luxons allied together with the Canthans to fight Shiro. At least during FPE that's how far we've known. After they kill shiro, we don't know if they'll be back to their petty wars or not.
If the war between them ends "technical side", then Factions will be very useless since it revolves around the Faction vs Faction system. They just added a "background story" to the FvF system.
Fame, rewards are actually not important to most. Even those who do HoH and GvG, fame and rewards are actually nothing. Most players are after the 'fun' factor. If you're having fun, play. Even if the reward is USD1 million, if there's no more fun in it, why play? Just look how many tried selling their products by producing tournaments with a grand prize of USD1m, still a large chunk of the market ignored them. It's the 'fun' factor that keeps player loyal to a game.

All I hear since that there are more Kurzicks than Luxon.
Juggernauts > Turtles.
Turtles are for eating. Good food.
Kurzick FTW!
Thallandor
If only Kuzicks wasnt so dark and glommy everywhere like post searing while luxon reminded me to presearing in a warth and fuzzy way........
nimloth32
err..from what i read..those who in control of most of the towns can get discount from merchant and stuff like that..
Hockster
There might be premium areas that need town control in order to access. UW/FoW type regions.
Synthos
I think that when you control a certain amount of cantha you should get a cookie! And when you double click it in your inventory your charecter starts to get fatter and fatter
Vahn Roi
Now thats an idea

didn't you notice that huge line down the middle during FPE
the more fights you win the more territory your side gets, meaning better farming/access to towns/domination over outposts (elite missions, alliance events)
faction points will trade in for materials and possibly other goodies to make stuff
besides you could say there isnt' really a point to having fame, fow armor, or playing the game entirely
well, except for fun
