    I think they could improve the rewards system for ranked PvP, just achievements isn't it.

    I think ranked PvP should have it's own currency rewarded at the end of each season that could be used to buy stuff exclusive to playing ranked (Like what wolf collars used to be before CC) But instead of just having weapons on the vendor, have the type of rewards we used to see in top 100 Feast and add a new one each season. With the new ranking system, there are better ways to reward players an amount based on skill and competition.

    Like if a mount costs 20 tokens you earn:
    Crystal 1000 points: 25 tokens
    Crystal 500 points: 20 tokens
    Crystal 0 points: 15 tokens
    Diamond: 13 tokens
    Platinum: 10 tokens
    Gold: 7 tokens
    Silver: 5 tokens
    Bronze: 1 token

    I kind of quickly tossed in some values, but they key point would be having the base line for buying the newest mount/big reward in a single season involve having to rise through crystal a bit to make sure the queues for the top rank stay healthy. At the same time, it draws in players who might think they have no chance in making it that far up the ladder, and encourages them to try to improve.

    This type of system wouldn't have any type of season specific exclusivity, but I think it would be really healthy for ranked. (And we still have the plates that are season exclusive)

    Something like this seems solid, reminds me a bit of BLC where they had automated tournaments with few tiers that rewarded currency to buy stuff to show off. If you couldn't compete on the higher tiers you could still slowly work towards most of the stuff.

    Would also be nice to have some extra dumps for trophy crystals, like gather 100k worth of trade in items with them to turn in for glowing hellhound weapons or something.

    On another note, they really should hire at least one active PvP GM for each datacenter. The amount of cheating and wintrading varies a lot by DC (there seems to be very little on Light at least but still occasional griefing) Just getting handed the suspensions and what not at fairly short notice would curb down heavily the incentive to do any of it. As it is, it can take weeks for any actions taken against some malicious actors and they are free to terrorize people until then.
