In response to the general theme of the thread, first off I'm excited to hear that there are that many new missions available in factions O.o and I've already got that Tyrian Explorer title in the bag for my warrior
Oh, and though it would be quite an achievement, is the skill hunter title really for individual characters? That's an insane ammount of totally unreasonable and unusable skills to have on one character @_@ What am I gonna do with Ether Prodigy and Aura of Faith on my warrior :O

Oh! And reading further in that interview, we see that Guild Storage is now confirmed!

lol on the gamespot images you notice that the 3 most popular and powerful guilds are allied lol
Lady Lozza
lol I've got a friend who capped EVERTHING on his warrior and has skill points left over... mind you the guy has a LOT of xp and plays way too much 
Actually I have a huge problem trying to get the skill points to buy more cap sigs I've capped both primary and secondary caps for my 3 characters but getting more than that is proving difficult - except for my monk.

That being said, how many pve players actually cap that many elites on one toon, and wtf would you? Across my 4 pve characters I have close to 7M experience, and probably dont have that many elites on all 4 combined.
I really dont think capping elites is a measure of pve success in any way shape or form.

Quoted from gamespot.com:
GS: Aside from the new war mode, what are some of the other new things that you will be able to do in Factions? We understand that there are multiteam cooperative missions, as well as new challenge missions. Then there are guild scrimmages, as well?
EF: Yes, we added guild scrimmages, which can be initiated by any member of a guild when they are in their guild hall. This gives guilds the ability to practice one-on-one, eight-on-eight, or even one-on-eight combat if they choose. This is also a pretty good example of the sort of upgrades that affect all chapters of the game. Anyone playing Guild Wars whose guild has a guild hall will be able to take advantage of guild scrimmages regardless of whether they buy Factions.
ONE ON ONE!!! FINALLY!!! WOOHOO!! THANK YOU ANET, FOR LISTENING TO THE COMMUNITY!!!

I wonder if this is a change across the board or something exclusive to Factions...

that being said, they said you can only show off one title at a time, so its not like you have to worry about them all. its really stuff for you to do when bored. look at the reqs for some of them 1000 missions? you can tell they want to have each rank be a true accomplishment, cause its no fun if everyone has it.

Awesome! I was waiting for something like this since September. Looks like I'll be the Tyrian Explorer title.
Oh and the guilds that were shown in the pictures, Zealous of Shiverpeaks [ZoS] have been in the game for a long time since beta I think and they have some of the Anet developers in that guild.

Lady Lozza
The guilds shown in the picture have a strong developer presence, so either they have rewarded themselves for their contributions to the game, or they were testing the cape borders, or there was a developer championship and the rewards were the same. Take your pick

the whole "We're improving the quality of all rare (gold) and uncommon (purple) items significantly." Scares me... our rares are gonna be trash.

, in the international districts. They've countered this mod buff by adding so many different new weapon types. Most assuredly many of them will be quite rare, probably many more rare skins than they have in prophecies. So dun worry about not being able to sell the super weapons. You'll probably still be able to make just as much profit off them as you do off rare skins in Tyria. If not more O.o

lol, really now, I have to get back to unlocking every skill and capturing every elite skills! waaah...
Arena.Net!!!!!! GOOD WORK!! It's about time to reward the PvE characters as well ^_^
At least for us we are into unlocking every fog in the map and unlocking every skill, every rune, every items in the game, there are rewards now. Though it may be as simple as "titles", that's a very good start
Who knows, Campaign 3, we will get more tangible rewards in-game than just titles hehe
Good work ANet!

I personally think that this is pretty awsome. that interview has rekindled my hopes that faction will be as awsome as they say it will. If nothing else, at least it gives me a bit more stuff to work towards.
