PVP, ok, you are supposed to be fighting real people so retaliations are expected, though they need to reduce how many points you lose. But to get retaliation from "Simulated" fights in the Simulator and lose season points for it is bad form.

Hopefully they improve it, but I won't lose sleep if they don't. JVReal wrote: There is no incentive to play Simulator.

Others do it for their alliance season points. It's incentive enough without the rewards.
JVReal wrote: It does kind of contradict itself doesn't it... What I meant is that Simulator progression rewards are no incentive to play Simulator for Simulator rewards. I play PVP for the 300 point progression reward of 1 Token. That happens to also give me 300 points for Season, cool, I'm benefiting two-fold. One gives me immediate rewards and the other long term rewards. Simulator gives me no immediate rewards worth anything. There is nothing about Simulator that says play me because I'm fun and rewarding AND I apply to Season points. I look at season points and say "I'm 100 points away from the next progression reward, I can't push any higher in PVP, I guess I'll play some Simulator to get those 100 points and get the Season Progression". Other than that, if I never look at how close I am to the next Season reward, I would never bother to play Simulator. It's the Minimum Wage PVP event to make those last few bucks to pay the rent, when your regular paycheck (PVP) fell just short of what you needed to make ends meet. More work for less benefit, but you do it out of necessity instead of want.
