Guild Wars 2

There are several different races living in Tyria with their own lore and background, It’s all very intresting but why not go one step further with it.

Make all of them into a faction system that you as a player can help them to raise your faction toward that specific race you helped, better standing you have more unique items you can buy from a specific faction trader.

With this system people will spread out a lot more to do events to save a Quagan village or a Char outpost.
Sure this can be called a grind but the thing is games are a grind in It’s rawest foundation to begin with so why not make a faction system.

World of Warcraft rep grinds? No thanks. I didn’t like doing them in WoW, I’d hate it more now than before. Karma and Laurels and Guild Commendations and all that are enough, I think. I like the idea of having more stories from these races, just not the follow-up you gave.

help saveing all the races from the dragons would not raise our rep to max for each race servel times over?
then lets go to the war that it fought in the mist where apperntly someone or something is trying to break in and kill us all where you help should that not do the job?
what about helping each race in some way trough the dungeons with there internal problems would that not gain you a lot of rep in that race?
fighting off scarlet, molten allaince, sky pirates and so forth that treatens each race also must mean something then.

by now if we are not heros of our nations in some way there is something wrong given we where in on the final assoult on zhietan plus helped at each major treat in the last year and we helped the nations top dogs with stuff in there dungoens to get them to work together agien if there is any merchant out there that would not sell me something because i have not helped him enough ill just wait into next time and let him die then save the world with the rest of the players;)

Well in WoW, LOTRO and other games that have rep grinding is indeed boring due to you have to do selective few dailes quests and/or killing mobs in a specific zone.

But in GW2 you have the whole world to do you “rep grinding”, races and orders are scattered all over the place, this will help spread people out more and you are not locked in just one place.
Doing GW2 DEs are far more fun than doing LOTROs or WoWs dailes.
In each zone there are several DEs some small and some big ones, you get your rep points how long you have been part of the event, and how big the event is.

I for one see this as a good way to populate zones that are not that well visited and people can experience more of what DE is all about by sticking around to earn that extra rep point.

The rewards are purely cosmetics nothing you must have only things you find nice looking such a uniqe armour set or cool weapon skins, possibly some rare recipes.

You see many have been complaining about about lack of things to do at lvl 80 I don’t see any harm in doing this AND this will break up the Champ train in Queensland now people will move around the world to do the events and other champs for the rep, is that at bad thing in the end of the day?

I think so long as the things you get are truly and purely cosmetic, as you stated, it wouldn’t be so horrible, lol. I would say this needs to be taken a step further and make the rewarded armor have no class. This way if I’m wearing light armor, I can have the same armor skin as the guy wearing medium and heavy, so we can all look and say, “Wow, that guy did that rep grind? Cool armor!”. Or something along those lines. Weapons, obviously, need to stay within the weapon classes, nobody needs a longbow with a rifle skinned over it.

I would love to be able to use light and medium armour as a cosmetic look, then we can truly make some amazing outfits, just improve the city outfit system for this.
And yes as I stated the rep traders will only sell unique cosmetic sets.

Would be nice if more could post their inputs on the matter.

If the fraction system comes into play like you are suggesting i would not advise to allocating time gates for gear behind becoming more revered with that fraction. I would instead attach titles to it as that seems more inline in what anet is trying to achieve while still keeping the current skeleton of your system. obviously not only titles but i don’t know if time gating skins with a specific grind would probably be awkward in the game, with how it currently stands.
But this depends on how its implemented.

So farming champs for rep to get uniqe armour set and weapons are not ok, I mean my topic has been buird 3 times, and I dont see why.

I mean you guys still farm Queens champs right, wny not expand it like I wrote, grind is grind, we all need our grind If we cant find our grind carrot stick we quit.

So why not make i a Tyria world tour.
