Series 2/Season 3 Rewards are kinda lackluster!

[TimotheusReed]

Hi everyone,

I haven't seen anyone make a post about this. But I have to say that the Series 2/Season 3 rewards are kinda lackluster.

Ranked portrait frames are the same just attached with a "III" to it. There is nothing new to buy for crystalline credit as far as I know. And the mount that we get as BP 25 reward just seems to be a recolor of a random mob from Sohm Al.

I think we should all advocate for better overall Pvp rewards in CC. I thought that CC will be one of the new big things for this expansion.

But I feel that people might abandon this mode in the future if there are no better rewards for playing.

Even the new portrait frames for PVE are better quality than most of the PVP stuff.

Regarding Season 3 (and also 1 and 2) we even lost Wolf Collars as a unique reward and apparently Rank 1 doesn't even get a housing trophy anymore for their achievements.

Gotta keep the aggressive fomo-labelling hyper casuals happy by making sure good players get no more reward than them. /s

...we truly live in an alternate timeline.

I am personally againt FOMO rewards. i am glad that they are gone. So i am not advocating for FOMO rewards to return.

But I still think there should be more rewards for everyone to obtain. There seem to be no rewards for crystalline credit at all.
The Archfiend set was also cool. But I don't think current rewards really hold up.

Answer me this then - what is the point of Ranked then if there is no reward apart from carbon copies of mediocre portrait borders and a currency you can farm in Casual just fine?

As much as I understand the anti-FOMO crowd, I feel like the understanding is never mutual and our plea for casuals to get good stuff has been met, but we had to lose our own rewards for it - I hardly consider this fair.

I don't want this topic to derail into another ranked vs. casual thread.
I wanted to focus more on the overall rewards for EVERYONE and not create another topic where casuals and ranked players are put against each other.

I just feel like the overall reward structure for Pvp is not really rewarding for everyone right now.
I want casuals and ranked players to both get better rewards, but I am not advocating for only ranked players to get new stuff.

This is not the intention of this thread.

And neither was it my intention to ONLY discuss ranked rewards. I will leave it at that.

They need to add previous mount/glam from Seasons back in and spend via Trophy Crystals.
Trophy Crystals currently just sitting there getting wasted. Add x100 Wolf Collar for previous top 100 mount/glam if needed, or even just the recolor version.

Just to be on a tangent here - do you know what happened when they re-released the White Ravens earrings players earned back in 1.X from Nael, one of the hardest fights at the time? People were livid that their proof of achievement essentially went down the drain. To add insult to injury, they were farmable by doing the Rising Event for like 15 minutes.

So while 100 Wolf collars (iirc, 100,000 Trophy Crystals?) are certainly within the realm of "understandable" for the reward you are asking for, you are still going to meet a lot of sour faces that their proof of victory, their "trophy" is reobtainable, similar to how White Ravens became reobtainable.

I'm uncertain how I'd feel about someone being possibly able to obtain my Shadowcrawler Armour while losing every single Casual match.

That said, better Trophy Crystal rewards? Yes absolutely needed.

Look at LoL for example. Going beyond gold rank doesn't net you any tangible "rewards" other than rank borders. Since you wanna delve into a casual-vs-hardcore thing here, getting a high rank should be motivation enough. To prove you're better at pressing the buttons and having better ping than others lmao

Why? What is wrong with ranked players getting a unique reward for playing well? Older MMO's used to to it all the time making specific mounts and armor very rare. It was something cool to show off. SWTOR had a cool looking rancor in their season 1 ranked pvp for being a high rating, but now everyone can get it by simply farming ranked making my season 1 rancor mount no longer rare or unique.

I can't stand this "everyone gets a trophy" mentality.
