Fliggl said: This is a topic I would like to see some more discussion about...Like, at the Matrimonium Event, I missed one single 2-Points node. I have 138 of 140 points and are ranked 194 so far, and the event isn't over yet. Maybe I'll drop to 251+.
Theophilus said: The solution I would like to see explored is to completely do away with ranked rewards. Instead, add levels beyond current progression to reflect higher achievement. These can be considered progression bonuses. A perfect score gets the top bonus. The equivalent to losing one complete match would be the next tier. For those who don't want to increase their play commitment and would rather just hit current progression, leave that in place.

The only time we used to have 3k brackets was when the top reward was 300 jewels and the non rune rewards filtered down to ranks 251-500. Those events were much harder to get 1st place, so less 1st place ties. Even still there was more rewarded for finishing 251 than getting 1st place now.Skoti Bloodline is an example of this, although it's not a coalition event. It's a ranked PVP event with 1000 player brackets. When you miss an objective in this event you dont drop 250 rank, because you are competing against 1000 players, instead of 3000. It's also easier to lose objectives in this event, so not as many 1st place ties.

Tezzeret said:If I miss a single point, I just hit progression Than quit.I'm sure lots of people do the same of MOST events. From a company perspective its a BAD design stratagy as it diminishes the "active player" pool during an event.
