Please, don't make winning required to for temporary rewards

honestly if you dont win you should get NOTHING!!!!!..

maybe then players would actually make an effort... and it'd stop players queuing up just for the free exp.

seems to be one of the reasons pvp sucks as much as it does is because 3/4 of people are only there for the exp bonus and couldnt care less

I think you should still get a little something for losing, a consolation prize. But I think they should make a loss (3rd place in FL) reward only a small amount of tomes and XP, and instead greatly increase the rewards for winning/2nd and 1st place - 1st place in FL should give you more than it already gives you right now.

It's the simplest way of incentivizing players to actually *try* and win and play to win I can think of. Anyone that gets salty or toxic about losing... well, that's what GMs are for.

Put in the matches+effort and wins will naturally accumulate.
