Does anyone remember the emblems/crests chests in 1.4.8? There was a small chance to get a chest (when killing an enemy) that gave you a lot of emblems/crests/whatever.

Maybe we could have those chests back. The chance to get one would be incredibly small, but you get a bonus to that chance every 20 minutes you play. After 2 hours of playing the same character, your chance to get a chest is around 2% per kill (just throwing out numbers, this would need to be tested though).

There would be individual rolls for everyone. So let's say player A is in a group with player B. A has played for 5 minutes and B for 2 hours. Player A has a .00000001% chance to get a Emblem Chest, player B has a 2% chance. They kill an enemy. Player A didnt get a chest, but player B received one that contained 30 medallions (just throwing out numbers again, would need to test).

I like brainstorming btw :P

The best way to counter the random disconnect is have the buff be granted by an item. The item can be traded across the account (but not between players), is destroyed if you attempt to store it in your bank, and works like expedition resources. (There is a timer and it refreshes whenever you get the item.)
the Item is granted based on time spent in the game.
you are granted additional resource every X mins
and will expire after X+5 mins.
You get a bonus depending on how many of this item you have with a built in cap of Z.

Call the item Favour of Destruction/Order.
Thoughts?

This is great idea. Rewarding for playing longer on one side is much more encouraging than penalizing for swapping sides.
Am I the only one who recognizes that this a bad idea and actually no solution?

So far I guess yes, you are. You also might elaborate it if you want to take part in discussion. Otherwise you add nothing interesting/new to it.

If we only had a buff that encouraged people to play the underdog side :/

1. Instate rules that you can only have one account per IP, ban multi-accounters

so in my house 4 people use one router/internet access, with your rule only one could play?
