I stopped reading it there since thats not even in affect anymore. It was triple points in the cities. Its still double points when a good faction (TB, COM) kills an Evil Faction (Min, SL).
I'll take your word for that; thank you.
I rarely pay attention to points; I wear not a single Faction Artifact, so have little cause to fret over them.
I do remember the cities thing being used sometime within the last year, and the war's much older than that, so either my source was wrong or it's been fixed somewhat recently.
I guess I could've misunderstood someone too?

BTW, if you want character to Pvm on or banksit,
?
then dont have it in factions.
I'll never understood why people insist on thinking there should be single-use characters.
Factions wasnt meant to be for pvmers to join, get artifacts, and then never pvp again.
It isn't PvMers who join for the artifacts, it's PvPers. Then they only participate in Factions minimally, or never, and use the Artifacts for random Yew Gate and Champ Spawn fighting.
I take it you're one of those?
It is SUPPOSED to be a hardcore version of the game with a high riskvsreward. The increased risk of dieing (Stat loss ect) vs the high reward (The faction artifacts ect).
Interesting how you appear to think that skill loss is somehow related to the Faction Artifacts; the former, you should know, considerably predates the latter.
When you look at Factions as originally implemented, it was actually pretty clearly made to include many playstyles. PvM gets you the most silver; Faction Crafting could get you a blessed Faction runic, basically the unbalancing artifact of that era; and of course you need a thief to steal sigils and control cities. While that's surely PvP in some sense, some of the best Faction Thieves I know do not consider themselves to be PvPers, because they use the term PvP to refer to direct confrontations.
*shrugs*
But hey, it's a different world now. Some consider Faction Artifacts to be a God-given right, hence the selling and buying of points in Global Chat. Easier to do that than to get points through actual participation.
