I hope the ROS faction quest is as easy as farming Mistmoore used to be. It's not like anyone even goes to VP anymore or the rewards from within, worth doing some hard quest.

This sounds to me like they just added RoS faction to the new mobs in MM. So no.. It won't be as easy to farm RoS faction as it used to. Unless.. Unless they made the faction hits count for more. But if I had to guess I'm goin to say no they didn't do that.

And I think you mean VP not ToV.

"(ROS faction quest is in)" sounds like a quest.. but they could have added the faction to the new MM mobs as well.
