People zerg and don't care about BOs most of the time.
The latest update on BOs already layed a good foundation by introducing the new BO buff system,
which encourages players to take as many BOs as possible for maximizing their rewards.
Sadly this is not enough on its own, since war crests are primarily gained from player kills,
so people will rather zerg from warcamp to warcamp.
Suggestion:
ORvR player kills no longer directly reward crests.
Slain enemies drop War Material instead. You have to roll for it just like you would have done for crests.
War Material can be turned in at any friendly BO for the following rewards:
- War Crests (Here they are!)
- Keep Resources (Rank up your keep!)
War Material decays after 10? minutes, so players are encouraged to capture and visit BOs regularly.
Having a decay timer on War Material gives people a sense of urgency to capture and visit as many BOs as possible,
so they won't miss out on their crests. This forces the warcamp zergers to move to a BO from time to time,
thereby actually doing something useful by ranking up their keep.
War Material, which is earned during active keep sieges, has no decay timer.
This is to prevent players losing their war material during lengthy keep sieges.
