    PVP can have neat rewards; but tying universal rewards to it when the very vast majority of the playerbase dislike PvP to different extents to try and convince them to come play it for the couple hours it'll take to get it and then never touch it again is not the way to go about it. You quickly build negative associations with such tactics.

    Hairstyles are an almost universal reward that the vast majority are going to desire; you're simply inviting complaints and annoyance on the vast majority of the playerbase by using them for the sole purpose to get people to play content they'd never touch in its current iteration. While I dislike the acquisition of them; the Feast has great PvP themed rewards that the game should exercise more often outside of the feast rankings themselves. Hell, I'd play PvP a ton more if it were possible to obtain some of the old feast rewards.

    Beyond that, it barely makes thematic sense to me. You've got an entire section of the game built around the concept of battle and defeating your fellow player, and something you can buy is a hairstyle? PvP rewards should scream battle. Weapons, armors, war/battle themed mounts; minions like the cheerleader even make sense.

    If old rewards were made available again, I'd live in the Wolves Den.

    I agree though, PVP needs more battle-themed goodies for glamour. The hellhound weapons look great but most people who want them have them by now. And the PVP minions that you can buy with wolf marks are so...weird. Like, here's a cheerleader and a.... lantern. What?

    What would be awesome is to have things like a raven minion (a nod to Rival Wings). We already have a falcon, just reskin it to be black. Or a wolf mount without the flames. A personal version of the cruise chaser...etc. etc.

    Not everything needs rewards. This could be a "just for fun" instance that awards tomestones and nothing else

    Rewards are cool, but it shouldn't force those who don't want to PvP to miss out. I'd be completely fine with not getting anything unique for this kind of instance. I really am just wishing for more PvP content.
