Guild Wars 2

Are there any plans or discussion of being able to obtain Favor other than Guild Missions such as the letters we purchased with gold to by Infuence?

No only guild missions, favor helps people since you dont have to 100% rep guild anymore just rep and do guild missions once a week.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t account for the fact that some smaller guilds might have issues getting together to do missions. Before, influence at the very least trickled in slowly. Now, you’re more or less stuck unless you are capable of completing the missions.

I kinda miss guild alliances now. They’d make groups of smaller guilds banding together easier, without anyone having to sacrifice or compromise their guild identity.

Yes it does punish smaller guilds. Prior to HoT we had an almost fully upgraded guild and now we’re back to square one. It’s hard to recruit players when they all want big guilds and instant gratification. A 4-5 man or smaller guilds are suffering the consequences. Anyway I guess it is what it is. Grind some more.
