Faction Skills
Best update, EVER! 
Faction skills. For those that don't know, now you can purchase skills from the Luxon and Kurzick faction rewards guys. Not only that, buying a skill (3,000 Each) will net you 6,000 points on your "Friends" title track.
Yes, you can get Kurzick "Friends" titles now.
Trading for materials now gets you 1,000 points on the title track in addition to your materials as well.
The Luxon "Friends" skills are all quite powerful. Not only that, their Power (They all have variables) are based on the progress of your Friends title track.
I didn't get to check out the Kurzick skills, but here are some of the Must See skills I found for the Luxons.
Mesmer: Ether Nightmare.
10 energy, 3 seconds casting time, 45 second recharge.
Target foe and all nearby foes lose (4....7) energy. For each point of energy lost, those foes suffer -1 health degen for 10 seconds.
How I read it would be something like 4-7 degen for 10. AoE energy denial and degen. For 10 energy. Sweet music to me.
Dervish: Aura of Holy Might
Enchantment spell. Nearby Foes take 28...68 damage. For 20 seconds your scythe attacks all do 10%-30% damage. When this enchantment ends nearby enemies take 28...68 damage.
Excellent Companion to Vow of Strength. I'd use it.
The one I picked up today...
Ranger: Triple Shot
10 energy, 10 recharge
Shoot three arrows simultaneously at your target. These arrows deal 50%-30% less damage than normal.
One man spike skill? Triple Shot arrows also seem to be faster moving than normal arrows. I set up a one man Ranger Spike using Broadhead Arrow, Arcing Shot, and Triple Shot with good success.
Also... all of the Faction skills are NOT elite. 
I've been told they are PvE only. But hot damn if they're not some cool stuff.
Out of the Luxon skills the only one I wasn't impressed with was the Assassin. Blinds you for 10 seconds, and you get 4-8 health regen and +15 armor.

Re: Faction Skills
Some cool stuff. Although I don't think I'll ever get a Luxon skill.

You must have at least rank 1 in the Kurzick/Luxon title track to learn any Kurzick/Luxon skills.
Um, yeah. I'm only 235,000 luxon faction away from that one.
...oh well

Re: Faction Skills
They changed the title track, by the way.
Now it only takes 100,000 for your First Title.
ALso, when you cash in for Materials you get 1000 per piece of Amber/Jade towards your title track.
So yeah, you could do it. No longer is it a question of "Do I donate to the alliance, or to my material storage?".
