he has less faction than me, therefore he believes i get better drops and he
gets weak drops. I've never heard of faction increasing drops and the drops
rarity, is it true? He says the gods favor me...
thanks
High faction=better drops???

Just recently a guildy and I were talking about what kinds of drops we get,

It still wouldn't get me into PvP. If ArenaNet had encoded that, i'm sure they would have told us all.
Herman
thats exactly it, i never heard it either. Don't understand how someone would come up with that.
Mariena Feladon
That doesn't make sense at all :/

im hermans "guildie" that we were talking about, there was someone that i met on a mission and he/she did alot of gvg, so they had high faction, they asked me if i wanted to join the guild, to get more faction to get gold items in dragons lair (i think, the mission after ascention)...thats how she explained it to me..*shruggs*

It's a false assumption. Factions are there to reward pvp unlocks.

Luck and random events can manifest themselves in many different ways. However this doesn't prove or disprove the OP's hypothesis. It's unlikely that ANet would have inserted code that alters drop tables based on your character's Faction, but that doesn't make it impossible. And ANet has many times in the past made changes to the game without disclosing them in the "Game Update" notes.

Why would they do it? So people that are good at PvP'ing have better drop rates in PvE?
It's simply a rumour that's not true. You would say "How can you be so certain? You have no proof!".. , but A.net has no reason to do this. I think using 'common sense' would be enough in this matter :/
"Hey, I've heard if you clear Old Ascalon of all enemies three times in a row, the next chest you open will give you a Max damage gold stormbow! A guildie said so!"

What can I say? I love a good "conspiracy theory".
DrSLUGFly
That would be cool though. A PvE reward for PvP play.

I still get crap drops with 10,000 faction 
Anarkii
And I get awesome drops with around 1500 faction
EmperorTippy
Now if only I could get back down to 1500 faction to try ^^that out

Faction has no bearing on PvE drops, and is purely for PvP unlocking purposes.. just like the Q&A section is purely for asking questions and getting.. answers! *hint hint nudge nudge*
