Having the ability to choose what kind of points to obain

[Schrute]

I thought that it would be cool to see if it were possible to choose what kind of points we could receive from any monster at any point in time. For example, i would like to earn imperial standing points instead of conquest points, I could switch modes, in say under the status tab, and choose to gain imperial standing points instead of conquest points.

I realize this raises some problems with signets and sanctions. from our stand point, the simple solution would be for us to gain conquest points and imperial standing depending on what status you have on (sanction, signet, sigil).

What would be most awesome is if you could get chests that give imperial standing points, conquest points and allied notes.

I want to say that giving us the ability to choose what kind of points to gain inside abyssea would be cool, like in stead of the massive 1k crour from chests and the cruor from NMs and mobs, get the same amount of points for your choosing instead of cruor, but i fear this would create an unbalance in the game. Not to mention this would probably be a lot of code being rewrote or changed on the development side. Just an idea

Instead S.E. can convert the allied points, conquest Points, and Imperial Standing Points to one point value, Such as Battle Reward Points (B.R.P.).

Okay, my first response is a completely smart* one - you can choose what points to get. Fight mobs in the correct regions with the right status. There. Been said, let's move on to actual thought.

I guess I could see an argument for a status-type thing, where we accrued points that corresponded for our nation allegiance (which means enabling Aht Urghan and the past nations to be our primary allegiances), having that define the points for Signet/Sanction/Sigil. But being able to choose and switch on the fly seems...I dunno. There's so little, relatively, to do with CP/IS/AN, that it seems overkill.

(wait, you would like to gain CN, IS, and AN inside Abyssea instead of cruor? That's just...why!? Also, ftr, 1k cruor isn't really massive.)

I have thought about the idea of having Signet/Sanction/Sigil give you points no matter where you level and just having them unable to award region points

It wouldn't make any sense from a game perspective. You gain Imperial Standing for helping the Empire out, so why would you gain cruor or Allied Points for it?

Now, converting all experience gained to the local currency would make more sense. "EXP to Cruor" in Abyssea, "EXP to AP" in Wings of the Goddes, "EXP to ISP" in Aht Urhgan and "EXP to CP" in Conquest areas. Before SE increased the merit point store to 20 and expanded the generic merits so I could actually spend them, I wasted maybe a million experience on unredeemable experience.
