I don't think it was "faction", I think it was based on the tier of the token, coin, or whatever. I'm pretty sure every tier was turned in to the various NPC's on the right and left of the Qeynos Castle steps. Bottom of the steps was T1, second tier of steps was T2, etc.Didn't you have to sell the items to the correct faction back in the day? I want to say the ability to sell everything to 1 faction merchant wasn't in game until later down the road.
I don't think soI'm confused.... is this a Beta bug?
