Alternatives to mass numbers of turnins for Athica faction

Using the numbers above roughly, Athica would take around 100-125hrs to get in a group, newport about 4-6 or so, most people get newport neck because you save time by gating to newport and taking MoP to get to athica. /shrug, I personally have gate necks for newport on all my chars, I don't see spending all the hours in a zone with low xp comparable to other zones for a neck that isn't all that much better than newport.
 
That's worst case scenario. With Avaline I had a lot less competition, and I probably got it in < 20 hours of farming. I'm sure I've spent more time than that on various parts of the newport quest, and still haven't gotten the neck.

(On Allielyn I just gave up on Newport faction after MONTHS of work and bought my faction AA. Best AA points ever spent.)

I wouldn't advocate making athicaa medals easier, but I agree that adding another interesting alternative would be a good idea.
 
Still kind of sucks for people who got them "pre-nerf" I guess, takes at least 3 times as long. But yeah I still go with my recommendation to decrease the spawn time to be more in line with other zones, and I really like the heads of the named vampires.

Heres another idea: have pieces worth more faction drop from catacombs. You can also include the heads of the named in catacombs. Catacombs requires a much better group than Eldenals, so if you can put one together you should be able to benefit with faster factioning.
 
The sudden surge of 55+ players due to double exp week has brought more faction seekers set on getting Athica neck via Eldenal. Of the last 4 groups I've been in with my ranger at least 4 people were needing medallions, and with it taking such a large amount of medallions that rate will most likely continue to exist for a long time.

After all those groups I think I walked away with 7 medallions combined.
 
Eld's certainly needs some help, but while we're talking about, I'm thinking that something needs to be done about the Dwarven Essences.

I spent a good 10 levels of Kaladim, not counting the amount of time I spent soloing there to get my Starfall drop (The rng loathes me). I got less than a stack of essences out of it. 10 levels (during which I was the only one looting the essecences because either I was soloing or the rest of the group didn't care) and several hours of soloing the castle, less than 20. That's a pretty pathetic drop rate.
