Thread: PvP Rewards; 6.1 and beyond.

There's quite a bit of made-for-PvP, yet exclusive content that should be added to the new reward system. For years RMT (including cheaters) have been grossly rewarded for top rankings in PvP. So very many of the top players are breaking the T.O.S. it's almost easy to think every person listed in the top 100 is also. Looking forward to the future, an effective way to combat this is to show that the money is not well spent on rewards that will be available to players who play fairly. Quit exclusively rewarding those bad apples!

The most active participation are times when new rewards are available, such as Moogle Tomestone events. Adding these older rewards to the new PvP reward system should greatly increase participation with how often some of these items are requested for rerelease. Having an abundance of obtainable rewards from PvP is vitality important for the livelihood of PvP in future patches.

All the previous rewards should be incorporated into normal and ranked modes! It should all come back: accessories, armors, mounts! I think the only minion ranking rewards, Hellpup and Faepup, already came back a while ago. Some of the previous season rewards, if someone is curious:

don't laugh, he's from primal

Ye, while boosting was a problem, especially in NA, you could have easily gotten t100 in your first season with a little effort, I know plenty of people like that.

So instead of whining, just give it a try (might be kinda late now tho)

Sadly, it's in my own experience I saw a lot of players breaking T.O.S. (a majority.) That is the past. In regards to the future of PvP rewards, what do you think about having old PvP rewards available again; to fill out the new "battle pass" with desirable items? Seems like a good idea to me when I'm thinking about the future of PvP.

Have you ever been to top 100? I’ve reached top 100 in feast but never finished the season because of work constraints but wanna know how many cheaters or boosters I’ve seen? 1. In CC, I’ve seen zero.

You aint playing enough then.

On Aether the #1 player (Technically I think he is tied for #1 at this moment) is win trading with himself. Queuing 2 accounts at the same time as NIN and afking on one account while the other boosts. I ran into him 4 times this morning alone (all on the losing side which is just bad luck really). Mr. Happy, a popular streamer, has run into him multiple times and has needed to basically make sure that dude is already in a match before queueing. That is 1 guy with multiple run ins on YOUR data center. Grats on not playing at the same time as him but stop claiming you have never seen it like it somehow invalidates others run-ins.

You in any of the PvP discords? People are coordinating queues all the time to get on comms to work out wins. There is also a whole section on add-ons and scripts for auto poly/silence on certain skills, auto LB's at certain health percentages, ect.

Also, you say you hit top 100 but never stayed there for the end of a season...how can you accurately state what the end of the season rankings really look like then?

If you see clear wintrading, report it through the sqex website for it, we got #1 trader kicked out of the leaderboards in Light during season 1.

Exactly this, not everyone got a lot of time to burn as people work or have school/college so tying rewards to top 100 ranking becomes unfair for the people who do not have the ability to burn massive amounts of time on PvP

Isn't that the same with PvE though? Ppl taking time off for raiding etc. I understand that those rewards are there all the time of course, but I'm thinking of world first races etc.

Idk, the top 100 compete against other ppl who constantly have the time as well, and excluding cheaters and traders, they do put in the effort and time needed and I think they deserve it. I only tried to go for top 100 twice since that's when I had the time, once during a vacation and once I took some time off. One time I got it, one time I didn't. It was a pain but at least it was worth it, and fun. Now, since I don't have the time anymore my goal was only to get to crystal. And why should I be top 100 when I don't even play that much anymore? Other ppl are putting in more effort, they deserve it more than me.

For the record, I've only seen 1 cheater in CC on my way to crystal and 0 in feast. Suspected win-traders there are more of though but that's just suspecting.
