I agree that elite missions should be made much more readily available to all players of all levels of dedication.

The missions shouldn't be allowed to be accessed by all players, because not all players deserve to go there. The alliances that hold the top towns have worked to get to that level, and should be rewarded. I agree with a suggestion earlier on in this thread, that there should be different levels of elite missions, at each of the towns you can hold. This shouldn't be like UW and FoW, where any player can rock up and farm it. This should still be treated as a reward for holding the top towns, because that takes alot of work.

But the point is that it's not *hard* work, it's just the kids that reap faction points while real people work.

Look, to enter an "elite" mission, u dont have to be good at the game, all you need is 500-1000 ppl with basic brain function (no offense to the ppl that hold it). i've tried faction farming and its just not that fun. After an hour or 2 Altrumm or allience battles, i get bored out of my f**king head. And whats the point of playing a video game if u have to be bored.

Also i've noticed that many of the ppl who say it should stay the same are in XoO, TLA or another allience that holds HzH/Cavalon.

Even if A.net made an elite mission for each of the towns being held by an allience it would make it avalible to many more players

But one of them was from one of those guilds. Therefore you had to rely on the charity of another to gain entrance into the elite mission.

You and the other 10 members of your group did not earn your way into the mission based on your skill.

Skill...in grinding?

Who is to say the people from those guilds did anything to "deserve" it either?

Face it, it's a reward to a group of people, some of which managed to grind out enough faction to gain control, or make alliances with others to gain control.

Got invited by XoO. No payment, they were recruiting openly. As long as it stays close to that, there's little problem with that.

FoW and UW are restricted too, which actually means they can stay at higher/better loot levels, and they become a special area.

Nobody cares about sorrow's furnace except for farmers. Getting a quest party there has been impossible since first week after it came out.

Tombs were ok until all the greens were abundant, then nobody cared for it, except for, again, farmers.

In addition, once you get inside, you can log out the character, and it will stay inside the elite mission area.

So this restriction might actually have a positive effect, since the area will be controlled with regards to farming, and people who will go in there, will go for the mission, or if they don't they could as well get blacklisted.

It's still too early to say, but it will most likely work out for the better. And from what it looks like now, you could also be happy, that people who grind keep this trouble away from you. While different alliances will behave differently, I'm pretty convinced that most of them will not be territorial. There's little reason to do so.

Exactly!

The mega-Alliances can pump out the faction to gain control of the towns and others have to wait for handouts to get a chance to enter the Elite Missions!

Where is the skill?

FoW and UW are completely different from the Elite missions. TheY are readily available to all players because yes the favor of the gods changes, which allows EVERYONE to be able to go to them, not just a select group

Although it could be a challenge to get into an alliance which controlls the eilte missions. Okay, I can't because I'm the guild leader.

However, even though I drafted it and came up with a possible solution that will not adversly effect the game as it is right now. I still have to say.

i dont agree with the whole, i paid for the content, therefore we deserve to get everything, but i do agree that the way people are allowed access to these places should be changed.
we should not be forced into HUGE faction farming guilds to gain access. smaller guilds/alliances should have a way to access them as well.

my 2 cents

I don't mind the idea of exclusive areas, to be honest, in fact, I think they're a great idea to encourage competition.

I just differ on the METHOD of accessing exclusive areas.

Skill over time spent and all that.

Access to the elite missions should be based on the high scorers in the challenge missions. You can do the faction thing as well, but there's this great possibility that's just being left on the table.

I don't like things left on the table.

would prefer to see the staged entry fees as suggested elsewhere
(ie free to holders of the town, discount to next town, charge to everyone else)

I also believe this should be based on Skill not time. I also think it should be based on performance in the alliance battles or challenge missions preferably both. It should not be restricted to only one alliance but available to those who acheive a certain threshold of performance like repeated successes or high scores in challenge mission to achieve access for a limited amount of time.

Well, the system is already broken and is certainly not working out as "AN" claims to have intended. I maintain my previous signature for these missions to be opened up. If you are going to do something, don't do it half ass. Especially not something like this, which causes so much grief and anger between the player base.

I cannot understand why anet put so much resource on design such excellent mission for only a little amount of people?
Such interesting mission should be opened to public!!
