First, I think it would also be a good idea to tie in more repeatable quests somehow to the faction/reputation system. Perhaps tie in repeatable (both slight XP bearing/ slight Reputation bearing) quests tied to the faction merchants? Something like, fetch us such and such component for our wizards. Or, find such and such ore for our weapon smith, or... delivering messages. Maybe just something not quite as fruitful for faction points as banner capturing, like a step below it. Something folks could do without gathering a group to go storm a hostile area? (Mainly for when no friendly PCs are on, or whatever)
XP and Faction points I think should maybe be handed out through something like this to further encourage participation in factions, without forcing those who don't want to stride into hostile areas the chance to do something on the side?
