Unity Concord [dev1237]

• Won’t people just congregate in a specific Unity?
  Unities that are in the upper-tier of the rankings will have perks such as a boost to certain stat values that are on the equipment you can obtain through the “Wanted” system; however, there are also perks for Unities in the lower-tier of the rankings such as making it easier to earn Unity Accolades.

Good, that'll help somewhat. I wish we knew all of the perks that lower-level Unities have but I guess that'll have to wait for November. Thanks.

But...Grekumah, could you ask the devs if there's some kind of "Expeditionary Force"-like option for lower-tier Unities to boost their ranking (like Wanteds that only yield points, not items)? That could really help the rankings stay competitive in the long term.

Of course, here SE rely on people thinking the Accolades are worth something, history tells us there's a good chance players will take one look at them and move on as they've done many times before, heading for the content that gives them the biggest gear stat numbers.

And yet you're relying on nothing more than an assumption that Accolades won't be worth something. I have no doubt that once things are rolling, stronger gear > more Accolades, but to assume that Accolades will hold no value, at the start or ever, is very naive. Considering they said we'll be able to augment the gear with Accolades, I wouldn't be surprised if the system is broken down into farming gear in a high ranked Unity followed by farming Accolades in a low ranked Unity.
