New currency : Mount Coin

[toffikx]

Since the release of the ”guild coin mounts”, (somewhere in 2018/2019?) i always had an issue with this particular system of obtaining the ”endgame” mount.

Why i dislike this system ;

- Makes it very easy for big guilds to get, but outright gatekeeps smaller guilds, and locks out solo players.

- 25 coins for one mount is already significant given the weekly quest lockout, obtaining this for several characters is on another level of grind entirely.

- Guild coins are not obtainable in an Alliance group, they are not account bound ; basically you are at a disadvantage, if you want to help the group by doing the quest on an alt.


My proposal/suggestion to alleviate this issue ;

- Introduce a new currency ; the ”mount coin”, that would be used to obtain the guild coin mount/highest tier mount. The mount coin would be account bound, but separate for Order and Destro.

- The mount coin would be obtainable through conversion of guild coins, and from doing weekly ranked/rvr/pve/ events + weekend sc event.

- The amount of mount coins obtainable would be as follows (from most to least mount coins obtained)
Tier 1 : Guild Coins
Tier 2 : Ranked weekly
Tier 3 : RvR/PvE weekly + weekend scenario event

- The exact amounts of mount coins obtained, and the cost of the endgame mount through the mount coin currency, would be at the discretion of the dev team.

Final thoughts ;

The tier system is meant to promote guild play, promote logging in regularly, while also trying to incentivise ranked play.
The mount coin is meant to be a more inclusive way of obtaining the endgame mount, as opposed to gatekeeping/locking certain parts of the RoR community out.

Sorry for the bump, but just to clarify ;

- Mount coins would be used as a currency for the race-specific mounts that are obtainable in the guild tavern, both the temporary version for 5 guild coins, and the permanent one for 25 guild coins.

- Other mounts, like the ”rhino” mount from Bastion Stairs, or the ”warband leader mounts”, would not be obtainable through mount coins.

My idea is guild mounts cost 9999 warcrests and can only be obtained by rank RR90 players.

Perhaps the Griffon at rank 100.

it would be good to have incentive to rank past 80 and it would be glowing bragging rights as players who own one clearly are experienced soldiers of the war.

If you suggest to make the availability of guild mounts better for everyone (+1 from my side), there would be 2 other ways, wich are far more easy and uncomplicated, because its allready there: Use the Genesis currency.

First:
Instead of implementing a new coin, just use the genesis crests for it, and call it "Genesis Mount" instead of guild mount. With this change it would be available and farmable for everyone. The crests are allready availabe from RvR bags and SC weekend event, and pretty useless after you bought your jewelry and the subjugator weapon. So why not bound another item on this currency?

Second:
If people want the mount to be bounded on guild belonging, there is another easy way of using the genesis currency. Just make it tradable like 10/1 for one guild coin, at the vendor in the viper pit/sigmars hammer, who is trading all the other guild coin things. This way you could just buy guild coins, but you still has to earn them in pvp activity.

I like your idea. especially the second one.

I would like to see that the vendor, who then sells the mount for Genesis coins, only appears after some kind of guild effort. Like, your guild has to kill 10,000 enemies in RvR or trade in a huge amount of resources (not that much from PvE), so it still is a "guild mount."

Pros would be that bigger guilds still have an advantage, and it would be desirable to have a thriving guild.

Guilds that decide to stay small could also achieve this but at the cost of more time.
