For aesthetics and unic universe, no? Best parts of the game. Period.

Scenario weapon prices and acquisition rates will not change anytime soon. Likewise, the drop rate for medallions in RvR will not be changing anytime soon, though those are slightly less set-in-stone than the SC weapons.
With the next patch, after some internal testing, the "Kill 150 Players" quests will be reworked slightly. They will now require killing 50 of each enemy race, and will reward 5 medallions upon completion. Two new quests (and quest givers) will be added to the Tier 3 Empire/Chaos warcamps to provide tier-appropriate rewards.

awsome, any chance that those quests will give nice chunks of exp so that you can level quickly using them?
I would like to focus on pvp rather than grinding mobs as i do enough of that on my crafting toons
and it would help people with alts

Call me crazy, but I personally enjoy playing the game for the gameplay. Yes, when I get that nice piece of loot, I'm like "ooooh shiny!!!" But I'm not just running around solely focused on just loot. I'm looking more for where the action is. And I'm telling you, I have hella more fun and time goes by so fast and next thing I know I've collected several emblems without even trying.

The T2 rewards will not be changed. The T3 quest will reward 3x the XP of the T2 quest.
Leveling speeds are not something we have discussed much internally, and will probably not be something we discuss anytime soon. For selfish reasons, leveling quickly skips content that we've spent literally years working on. For practical reasons, it depletes the lower tiers which makes playing RvR and SCs even harder for players in lower tiers even harder, and encourages more people to just "grind through" a tier.
Frankly, Mythic spoiled us by increasing the renown rate practically every other patch. Changing the leveling rate is not something we will address until we have a solution for tier depopulation.

I respect the developer' s decision, but the great thing about these kind of threads is the arguments people bring with their statements. Fail to deliver those arguments ends in even more whine threads being opened in the long run. Simply stating medals drop rate will not change will leave open ends.
Typing this I realise my message might not come over correctly, but know that im completely neutral in this, just some advice.

so to match the current medallion droprate with the old crest drop we would need 5x medallions dropping per kill?
