faction balancing

Can something be done about gaining faction with either dragons or giants.

I understand that it should be easier to lose faction than it is to gain it but atm it just seems incredibly imbalanced.

Take my example, I've been trying to get a stormkeep neck for a while now and before the server went down.

Before the server went down, I went on a few killing sprees of every named dragon in Westwastes - 3 complete runs in total. I exp'd in DHK for many hours. I was kos to giants before this so i figured I'd be at least dubious by now.

After server went back up, I've been on Lord Za'yth kill (which in itself should be a massive faction boost, at least an entire faction level), I've killed 1 more westwastes dragon and hunted a few more hours in Dragonhorn. (this is non-stop pulling of lvl 55 + dragon faction mobs).

And yet..im still KoS to giants?

I understand the need to make it harder to regain faction, but that just seems a bit silly.

could it be balanced a little more?
 
Nope. Faction is balanced exactly the way we want it to, especially for dragons/giants. It should take you probably a good two weeks of heavy factioning (2+ hours a day or more) to go from max KOS to Ally. We want to intensely discourage faction hopping.

Also, keep in mind that the "Scowling" level accounts for over 90% of the entire faction scale. It goes very very deep, but not very far up, so once you hit threatening, it won't be much longer.

Stick with your faction or put in the work required.
 
I soo remember switching factions back and forth between dorf's, Giants and Dragons..

Raiding certain zones sucked when ya had to swap with the guild but what a blast once ya get there.
 
I got back onto giant faction with maybe 6-8 hours fighting in DHK and a raid or so. From scowling. I had to do some scale turn ins, and kill a few pixies, but all in all it wasn't that bad.
 
I'm basing the two week thing off an "average" player, not a top cleric in a top group like you, rabb ;)

14 hours to go Scowl to Ally isn't bad and where we want it to be. You can cut that down through efficient DHK or SE farming with turnins, but most people don't have the capability to do that.
 
And all that factioning was so worth it for the SK and DHK port necklaces... although I still cringe running by the wyrm caves in GD. Does it suck, yeah. Is it worth it, yeah.
