We've never said that we wouldn't wipe favor and as per the FAQ, "That said, we will be wiping some aspects of your character including but not limited to: items, currency, NPC favor levels, and favor-quests."Quote:

Favor represents top price paid, storage, money pool available, and access to many things. I think the economy will be much more robust with the wipe and everyone struggling a bit. It means less of a have and have-nots scenario.
However, can you imagine how crowded the beginning locations will be to gather favor items? Not to mention a new person will not even have a chance...
meh gems are the best favor items in general, mabye some will be contested but surveying doesn't work that wayQuote:
