Please reduce the Esotheric reward for the team that finished 2nd and 3rd

People do the same thing just for the wolf marks for pvp armor, as your first roulette try gets you 1000 wolf marks minimum for third place.

So one can then make the argument that players are just going for the wolf mark bonus to get glamour gear. Where's all the people coming out of the woodwork complaining to have the wolf mark bonus removed then?

Fact is, esoterics for pvp should be here to stay. It's a thousand times better alternative than farming Neverreap a billion times for the eso cap.
Besides, I've always heard of these mystical "only playing pvp for the rewards dont care about performing" players since 2.0, yet I have never seen such a person.... but of course, players will make them out to be as rampant as the RMTs...

This is utter nonsense on so many levels.

1. PvP gear is Rank locked, so you can farm for wolf marks until you're blue in the face, but it won't make a difference. You won't be able to equip or glamour that fancy rank 50 gear until you earn the right to it. No PvP complains about wolf mark bonuses because their currently useless. You will earn the marks you need to buy all your rank 50 gear 3 or 4 times over without bonuses before you reach the rank to equip/glamour them. So, why would anyone care if wolf mark bonuses are removed or not? Further, if you're farming wolf marks for rank 50 glamours (which means you had to get to rank 50) that means you had to actively play PvP to get the rank. Which means you're, by default, not just a farmer or casual player, you're a PvP'er who has a vested interest in winning for exp.

2. Wolf marks are a PvP bonus in a PvP game mode. How does that even compare to getting PvE rewards? You don't see PvP'ers getting Wolf Marks from ex roulette, do you? No. So why is it the other way around? I hear a lot of PvE'ers complain, "oh woe is me, I have seven different dungeons to run to get my Eso's... that's so not enough. How could they ever think of removing bonuses from PvP??" What a joke. PvP'ers get one game mode (that has active ques) and hardly any rewards (that they can actually use) for playing it. I don't have any sympathy for PvE'ers who seem to think they're hard done by.
