A winner SC should give us a royal shard or a shard of royal shard. What do you think about it?

It would be nice if normal SCs had a path to higher tier gear, even if it is just shards (like you get in the ORvR lakes).

I think its a great idea to work towards sov instead of having to be in RvR allot or city' s.
+ It would boost the general sc pop wich is very low in weekdays.

A great alternative to farm your end game gear, even if let's say the efficiency should not be equal with your time spent in RvR, it would surely contribute to the end game variety.

There is differents "coins" to motivate play different games. Ranked/SCs/RVR/PVE must be have different "coin" drops, so the people will play differente kind of games. Gear a toon must be hard, or it will be bored game.

Thats a bad argument.
Scs is just a different form of content.
Same as rvr, doesnt make it easyer.
+ It could be easily balanced as in give less rewards from scs then from RvR.
The city and rvr grind for sov/warlord is extremely tedious and long that its just blatantly boring and demotivating.
Scenarios adding to royal gathering could bring in some fresh air to that grind.
Also, most people in RvR run boxes, do pvdoor or swap zones the moment they face even numbers so i wouldnt exactly use that as a fun way to grind for sov imo.
But to each there own ofc, i just dont see a reason why royals shouldnt drop in scenarios or be awarded from scenarios

Obtain Sov/Warlord is super-easy now... i remember when only can obtain Royals in city. You only need to do a bit of RVR in all zones and win 5-10 royals/day.

SCs have no path to obtaining shards though, and even the highest ranked gear is 10 item levels below Sovereign.

Agreed. Adding Royal Shards to the SC drops would serve to boost SC pop, which would only be a positive.

This has been debated before and there are a community of people who just dont want to see sc currency shared on the same level as the endgame city instance currency. That being said, I'd just like to see viable sc items that are at least BiS in perhaps in 1 area. Right now there is no reason pve items should be BiS for certain classes while sc items are inferior. The time you spend in the scs is at least equal to the time spent running for Bloodlord and some of the sc gear should support this.
