It can be frustrating trying to find groups to do things that aren't even 'hardcore.' (Bismark-ex is not hardcore but trying to find a PF to do it is annoying). A lot of people won't even bother attempting something unless there are rewards for it. So why not give people rewards?

I'm not necessarily talking about gear treadmill but lets get creative. Maybe tomes of EXP that can level an alt in one go. New exclusive glamour gear for x6 months. Currency to buy post season awards. Mount food that makes it go faster for 1x hour.

The easier it is to get players to do non-face roll content, the better trained the server will be and more ready to tackle harder content.

Bottom line is that Bismark-ex and Ravena-ex ARE harder content than Alexander - shouldn't there be some better awards for it?
