Min rewards for zerging are too much

Post#1 » Sun Sep 07, 2025 5:07 pm

Just now in DW.

1800 zone cap renown, 800 renown for lord, 9 crests and bag roll.

Total effort: helped kill one destro and hit the lord. Destro AAO was between 120 and 200% during the entire thing. No flags capped by me.

If I had actually farmed outnumbered destro I probably would have gotten 4-5k on the cap (not including all the freenown kills).

You want to stop/decrease zerg behaviors, start here by not rewarding it.

P.S. I have no idea what destro in zone got but having been on heavy AAO flips where you are pinned down, I'm going to guess a few hundred renown and a couple of crests for WAAAAAY more effort.

Well the BO buffs are cool... though(not 100% on math) but having those renown buffs could certainly make having 20-60% debuff from having too much be pointless. Don't think LOTD solution would solve it completely but be nice to see a damage debuff added so when 4 wbs roll up on 1/2 wbs, they can't wipe them within 10-15sec but they have the numbers to cleave/channel the frontline and push thru to the healers and fight over. Don't think the 1/2 wbs would win the fight but they could certainly take more down with them and feel they got something out of fighting. I love to fight, don't mind being outnumbered and losing 7/10 fights so long we getting kills. When you get 1-4 kills before your wiped, people will lose interest and log to another game or catch up on SLEEP! I know, sleep is for the weak!

This is exactly why zergs dominate. The reward system just encourages sitting on the flag and hitting the lord a few times.

how has this game been out this long and devs have not made a custom small man pvp area aside from the SC's which are lacking in additional maps

I wish there were a zone or events where it’s everyone versus everyone (FFA) and
the maximum party size is 6 players.

I think that would be more enjoyable for solo players as well.
