Simple idea on how to fix the ranked pop issue....

Keep the series rewards/crystal shop up to date along with the seasons so people jump into the ranked mode to grind it out. maybe also make it to where ranked gives more progress tword the series rewards? :)

The problem is that ppl can grind on casual rank so they’ll have to create a new currency exclusive to ranked match and can purchase it at a NPC vender. Unless they want to go out of their way to create another Series…series and….hmm…release 2B leggings…without the leggings. I can’t think of anything…

nah they can avoid that by just making ranked progress the thing faster.

Yeah, this honestly.

There's no reason why casual should have the same payout as ranked.

exactly, they dont need to add extra stuff to ranked they just need to make it more attractive to those who wanna grind the series pass

I think they could consider adding an extra reward to rank placements, items like the GSP tokens that give funny Manderville coins. It'd essentially be based on placement how many you get, but it'll act as an EXP boost for the Series Malmstones. Players can decide to use it on the current series, or save it until the next one. Bronze gets 1, Silver gets 2, so on.

oooooh yeah, i love this idea!

Make the ranked border/title expire after the following season if it was not earned again, but make the title line able to be changed to the tier colour above their head for that time too.

People will flood ranked.

No that will just make people upset lol.

Or we could just stop accepting that casual currency as a reward for ranked is okay and ask for Ranked-only currency in all tiers for desirable things on top of actually giving us a reason to play high tier ranked. (yes I mean Top 100/Top x%ile)

Because Trophy Crystals literally don't itch me one bit if I can farm them in casual, no matter the amount.

they wont do that, they would literally repeat history if they did and they know that.

I thought you blocked me mate.

Either way, "history repeating itself" is kinda incorrect as I am more in line with the idea that Ranked TIERS (bronze, silver, gold, etc) need rewards above all. We had that with Wolf Collars, although they were a bit limited in use. Ranked simply needs something only ranked can get.

I did block you, i just simply decided to view your comment

Also you already get stuff that only ranked can get, you get frames lol but honestly you should get the trophy furniture item too.

Seems counter-intuitive to block and then view regardless, but you do you.

But yeah, the frames "are" unique, but they are like unique "get them once and simply don't care about the season number" kind of deal. They don't exactly look great either vs. some of the preset frames and don't exactly encourage more than one season of play if you bumrush into Crystal then leave. I think it needs more.

But yeah, that trophy furniture is indeed a long-missed item in my eyes, I always thought it was cool to get that as Rank 1.

i will do me thank you :)

anyway frames and furniture i think are probably all the that top 100 should get aside from the stuff that is on the series pass whenever they decide to update that since if they gave yall glams/mounts/minions it would just make the win trading/cheating worse and on top of that mess you're gonna make the people who hate FOMO stuff annoyed and not want to do ranked. real talk there needs to be a happy medium here and that just aint it chief, they gotta use a different method... maybe a gil prize? that would be PRETTY cool!

Ideally the motivation to keep doing ranked would be intrinsic imo. I also think Crystal should be a limited tier, in a sense where a certain amount of people actually get it per season, not everyone that just grinds enough games (or manipulates the system in their favour, as outlined in another post).

This would have been nice from the get-go but might be too late now. Perhaps if Diamond was the max teir and awarded "diamond credit" and then Crystal titles/frames being an achivement awarded at the end of a season for the top 1% on the data center.

They could just give us re-skins of the PvE raid teir gear as trophy crystal rewards alongside every raid patch/pvp series cycle, and new titles every series to commemmorate that specific series such as <Crystal Keeper> for series 1, <Crystal Dominator> for series 2, <Champion of Crystal> for series 3 etc. etc.

while i do agree with what you say, i don't think clothing glams should be the reward... instead what about a reskin of the weapon from pve raid tier?"
