Suggestion for Rewards System

Options
What about making it where ALL rewards include the "next tier"?

Take, for example, the No Holds Barred tournament.

The current reward structure is:
Ranking Rewards
1: Wolverine X-Force (Green) 250 ISO, 100 HP
2-4: Iron Man (Model 40) Red, Blue, Yellow, 250/100
5-8: Iron Man (Model 40) Blue, Yellow, 250/100
9-20: Iron Man (Model 40) Yellow, 250/100
21-50: Magneto (Marvel NOW) Blue, Purple, Red, 250/50
51-100: Magneto (Marvel NOW) Purple, Red, 250/50
100-175: Magneto (Marvel NOW) Red, 250
176-250: Standard Recruit Tokens x3, 250
251-350: Standard Recruit Tokens x2, 250
351-450: Standard Recruit Token, 250
451-500: 250 ISO-8

What if, instead, each tier rewarded all things below itself, so you could do

1: Wolverine X-Force (Green)
2-4: Iron Man (Model 40) Red
5-8: Iron Man (Model 40) Blue
9-20: Iron Man (Model 40) Yellow, 50 HP
21-50: Magneto (Marvel NOW) Blue
51-100: Magneto (Marvel NOW) Purple
100-175: Magneto (Marvel NOW) Red, 50 HP
176-250: Standard Recruit Token
251-350: Standard Recruit Token
351-450: Standard Recruit Token
451-500: 250 ISO-8

With this structure, it would give nobody a reason to ever "Sandbag" themselves, to get what they want. Have everyone actually compete to do well.

  • No, then they will be giving out too many covers
  • I don't see why that's a bad thing.

    I for one am concerned about them making enough money and am wary about things like this.
  • 2* covers are not why people spend money

    Spidey, gsBW and IM40 have been awards at those tiers lately/now.

    If you're suggesting to make all rewards below 1st ** then fine, but in that case I'm against that too.

    The model for covers is borked anyway. Play the game for 2 weeks or so and you'd be mental to spend any money on covers.

    I have some sympathy to this idea though. In the current Hulk thing I'm between 5000-10000 so my reward is a green Hulk card. Yey. The tier below me gives 3 OBW cards. This suggestion isn't really the answer though as you'd have some tiers giving ridiculous amounts of same character cards.
  • It really isn't THAT much different than what's currently offered but it removes the need to "hover" from 20-50 if you want the 3 2-star covers.

    Basically as it stands first place gets Wolverine + 3 of a 3 star cover. 25-50 gets 3 of a 2 star cover. From 2-24, you get 1-2 3 star covers. Instead, first would get 1 4*, 3 3*, 3 2*, and the recruit tokens. Gives a reason for actually trying through the whole event (which, in turn, would allow people to reach further down on the progression rewards).
