    More Rewards for Harder Content?

    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?

    Its hard to find good players because this is not strictly a hardcore game. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this is not dark souls online; more people are focused on obtaining pretty glamour then beating content.

    People make decisions on the margins. Put a carrot out there and you'll get more people trying.

    No point in doing hard content when gear on it will be replaced every 3-4 months and the "glamour" gear will be made easier to get.

    The difference between the EX and Alex at this moment is that Alex is meant to be easy and a form of gear upgrading outside of Eso and Law.

    Ravana EX still offers something of value and that is it's 190 weapon, which at this moment unless you fancy waiting every 3-2 weeks to get a iLV200 ESO weapon then Ravana EX is currently your 2nd best choice of a getting a weapon and that's motivation enough for people to farm Ravana.

    Bismark on the other hand, well yeah the only reason why people would do him is for glamor or to unlock Ravana.

    But come by 3.1 the only reason why people would do either of these is for the completionist in them.

    Also back on Alex, for the harder version there is better rewards.

    Sadly this is true. Also, look at the community rep responses we get. All of it is for glamour or QoL, none of it is ever replies to threads like these or about adding interesting stats on armor or what is wrong with end game...

    That will work about as well as getting you to do low level Roulette by offering tomestones. Alexander Savage has all of two things I want... but, like hell I'm going to put up with people like you to get them. As such, I haven't even unlocked Alexander Savage. I have no desire to make a chore out of a game.
