This is true of my guild too.

Most of players are left outside of exticing & possibly challenging content.
And I thought that other, smaller towns/outposts would have some kind of 'elite areas' though even that would have not been so player friendly in the end.

I'm not opposed to having special rewards for those who excel in the game, but when one of your selling points is "4 mission types including Elite missions", then it should be available to all. Otherwise, your marketing is misleading and causes loss of trust.

Thanks everyone for the signatures so far! Please keep them comming.

I just wanted to add another point to this. It's like we're being penalized for being a diverse guild and doing GvG, HA, RA, Alliance Battles, and PvE! Sure my alliance could get enough faction to get a town by 'grinding' for faction but we choose to be diversified. I though A-Net discouraged grinding?

Anyhow, I just wanted to add that point.

Sometime ago I posted that the favor system was one of the worst game mechanics ever conceived. I stand corrected. Access to these elite missions is the worst game mechanic ever concieved Don't know who at Anet was responsible for this debacle but this is a collossal FUBAR.

Right now, "elitist mission" would be a more fitting name.

We paid real hard earned cash for these games so we should have access to everything the game offers without limitation. No 'if's, 'and's, or 'but's about it.

I'm sorry but this petition is a piece of crap. Basically you're saying "WHOMG ANET MAKE IT FAIR PLOX". First off, suggesting to Anet to make it more fair without an actual legitimate solution (no Favor solution is not an actual solution), is not productive at all. Second off, you paid for Factions content yes, but you never paid for the Elite missions, you paid for the potential to access those Elite Missions (thanks Sekkira I stole your quote <3). If I was a Taiwanese player in prophecies, would I cry "zomg I can't access FoW and UW I DESERVE TO ACCESS THEM WHAAAA"? No I wouldn't.

The petition in concept is not bad, but you present no solution and you make it sound like you are a bunch of whiny players. Come up with a better solution and this petition could be looked at a lot more seriously from Anet's prospective.

Many guilds will never gain access to those missions, this restriction is VERY crappy (the favor thing is MUCH better)

signed... current system is not fun. If this place is so hard then let player skill determine if one survives.

Problem - Holding alliances will not be able to meet the demand of everyone wanting to enter without charging huge amount to very few people. Why not charge less and service more?

Solution - have a SET ranged fee that the holding alliance CAN charge for people to enter, which is deposited into their guilds storage automatically.

1.) This will reduce the "pay X gold to get a ride into the elite mission!", so now a full group can go rather than a full team minus the alliance controling player that'll probably leave right afterwards.

2.) Saves the alliance controllers the time of having to enter and exit lots of groups; so they can actually play the game.

3.) Reduces costs, increases effeciency, and gives access for everyone (at a LOWER price).

I actually don't mind requiring a "high level of dedication". What I do mind is being forced to disband my small guild and join a huge group.

They're called elite missions for a reason, it'd be pointless if they were available to any person at any given time.

It's like arguing "Ferrarris should be more available to people! Only extremely rich people can buy them!"

I bet everyone who said "/signed" in this thread has no idea how to make a PvP char and has 1 or more characters in FoW armor.

Stop being such care bears.

The game is COMPETETIVE.

Elite: The best or most skilled members of a group. - Straight from the dictionary.

Now, allowing everyone to compete in these missions would make the name "Elite missions" totally retarded, kind of like you. Or maybe that is why you want them to change it? So you're not the only retarded kid in the game? Well guess what, you're a retard. You always will be. Trying to change something else so it is retarded with you will not change that.

Getting the title "Elite" or whatever you need to enter these gay missions, takes a bit of time. And, gasp, some skill! I know most of you don't have skill, but come on. And just to get this out of the way, Whining != skill. The enemy will not get angry and let you kill him because he has a 15% weapon when yours is only 5%. STOP WHINING.

If you want a game that has no grind, go play Counter-Strike.


edit: Stop complaining that Europe always has favor and we don't get it anymore. Stop for 2 seconds and think about that. You're all grinding your asses off leeching off some one elses work in the HoH. Where is the fairness in that? Stop RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing bitching and go win HoH. If you cannot win HoH, don't complain. Simple.
