They do already. Favours from gods give experience when they end.

Verithrax meant city/guild favours given by gods, not divine favours.

Divine favours cost the gods essence, so only a god's followers or people involved with His city/commune get them. I'm proposing little exp bonuses 10%-40% given out by gods secretly for good roleplay, more or less OOCly. Lusternia has a punishment system for people who RP poorly, but there isn't a way to reward people who roleplay very well and contribute to the immersion of the game.
And while we're at it, what about giving authors an exp gift based on the ratings of their books?

Divine favours are IC. I don't see Hajamin giving any Magnagorans His favour. OOC exp gifts give the people who actually roleplay and make the game more interesting and immersive for everyone a reward.

He's given them to Serens before. The point is that the Gods can give Favours to any they desire. Just a matter of how they roleplay themselves, one who is very against the Taint probably wouldnt give them to a Taint member.

This has been dicussed a lot before, and the general consensus would be that there was really no fair way of doing it. Could you imagine the bitching threads we'd see on here if person A got free experience for the same thing that person B has been doing for years, but just never got noticed?
Also, the book publishing can be pretty hit or miss too, because its all the opinion of whoever looks over the books to read them. One book of poetry from Celest failed publication, probably because it was formatted weird, dispite it being notated at the beginning that it was like that to keep the artistic effect of the poetry. I don't think it was poor format, because poems are often like that, but whoever the admin was that read the poems decided that it was incorrect.
If there could be a unbiased way of rewarding individuals for good roleplay or writing, it would be great, but I don't think there really is a fair way to do it.

Then we might as well do away with all forms of subjective rewarding we have - considering the amount of bitching we get because person A got a guildfavour/cityfavour/godfavour for doing what person B has been doing for years?
