What i would like to be done, is incentive the win vs (2nd/3rd place)..
Like they are doing for the event tome: you get 5 if you win, 3 if you get second and 3 if you get third..

this should apply also for exp, wolfmarks etcetera... So ppl would be more inclined to try to win instead of cheesing a second place. I can't count HOW MANY damn times ppl start shouting: "just go for second place, you get more stuff"
