    You get a boost to rewards for getting 2nd place repeatedly without getting 1st place. It's +10% per 2nd place, up to a maximum of +50%. The bonus is still applied on your next 1st place, but it then resets after that.

    This bonus is meant to keep your exp from being very bad if you're in a GC that loses a lot, but if you consistently get 2nd place, the rewards actually surpass getting 1st place all the time.

    You can't really control this, though, and I'm sure a lot of people on your team care about winning and don't just want the best rewards possible.

    To my knowledge, 3rd place does not boost the bonus higher, but the bonus is applied to it.

    Thanks for the reply, MomomiMomi! That's interesting. May I ask where you got that information? I'd like to read up more on it for my own amusement.

    In looking at my tests and previous matches, what you're saying does seem to add up. In losing all the time (2nd and 3rd places), I do see exp and WM boosts after not getting 1st place three times in a row. It seems to continue that way and interchanges whether you lose in 2nd or 3rd place (Maelstrom loses a lot on my server), which is nice. Once you hit that 1st place winning, the boost is really nice, but does seem to reset the boost, as you mentioned.

    If this is true, as it seems to be in looking back at my matches, then it does make me happier when losing, haha. I'll continue to record matches for myself since there's not really any overall PvP stats that we can see, other than W/L pretty much. Thanks again for the reply, MomomiMomi. Appreciate it. ^^

    3rd adds the bonus, 2nd keeps it the same and 1st clears it.

    Whenever I got 3rd multiple times in a row I never got bonus. I'll have to see again next time I get a losing streak.

    It's very minimal. The normal 3rd place reward is like 200 exp and 300 wolf marks.
    Your second loss as 3rd is 220 exp and 330 wolf marks. So it's not surprising if you didn't notice.
