If it was, I do agree that it shouldn’t have been. Though the removal of it would track with the drop in favor earnings I noticed a few weeks ago.
As it stands currently, much like Tamar mentioned about the Vigil trying for a borough, I have been putting a variety of different things into Highgate and instead of anything going up, the Legion is only gaining more of the votes and I’ve noticed this in a few different boroughs in general.
I acknowledge one of the issues with Highgate may very well be because no other faction is trying actively for it although the Court has held a few events there now which I would think would have caused some kind of sway.
Another factor could be with LT Characters in play, the Legion is just generally stronger and so that’s a good incentive for getting rid of them but I know we still have several unanswered ATS regarding them.
Back on the topic at hand: The addition of Personal Favor was one of the better updates that came in imo. It rewarded people who didn’t have any territory but were still actively participating in the city and people who couldn’t be ‘top performers’ in their faction but still were doing what they could when they had time.
Really, the better compromise might be returning personal favor – making it a bit of a higher maximum you can earn per week based on active participation and then straight up equally distributing the 1000 favor/borough among all Active faction members (people on the roster who aren’t greyed out) as just like a bonus for your faction controlling it.
