To encourage a more offensive style of RvR for both T4 factions
1) LOWER THE COST of purchasing T4 siege. Wb leaders bare the brunt of the cost of siege when committing to a Keep assault. There are some unselfish players from both factions, who will provide essential siege (rams and counter oil siege) during an assault on a keep but on the whole it is expected of the Wb leader to provide such siege. Rvr'rs want to RvR, not PvE to grind for gold. Congrats if you like to PvE, but that is not my style. Lower the cost of siege and it is likely that more players will provide in the time of need. It costs NOTHING but time and effort to defend and a considerable WAR CHEST to attack.
2)OPTION TO REPAIR SIEGE. If the cost of siege cannot be lowered, then give players the option to repair siege. I realise that this is a bug issue and in time it will/should be fixed. At the moment however, the frustration and cost involved in providing continual rams and counter oil siege, is killing the spirit of most players that wish to be more offensive in RvR.
3) RENOWN FROM CAPPED B.O's. Level 40 players in T4 have less incentive to cap B.O's as they offer NOTHING as an instant reward and are therefore reluctant to make the effort to cap B.O's. By introducing renown as an instant reward for capping a B.O, it is likely that more players will make the effort to cap B.O's during a Keep attack or defence instead of "floating" around the Keep and leeching renown. If the renown gained from capping ALL B.O's outweighed the average renown gained from "floating" around a Keep, a more active and organised defence/attack would have to occur and would reward those willing to make the effort away from the Keep defence/attack. I realise that this or a form of this suggestion may have been posted elsewhere.
4) XP CONVERTED TO RENOWN/MEDALLIONS. As mentioned above, Level 40's in RvR currently gain nothing in the form of an instant reward of capping a B.O. If renown cannot be re- introduced to the capping of B.O's, then would it be possible to convert any XP gained from the mundane task of capping B.O's in RvR into renown or medallions ? It is likely that if renown and /or medallions were offered in exchange for redundant XP, more Level 40 players would make the effort to complete the task. As a quick suggestion, redundant gained Xp from RvR is converted to tokens that can be exchanged in a capital city for renown and/or medallions.
These are just suggestions and may need vast tweaking and improvements. Feel free to crucify me here and I will return the favour on the battlefield
. Feel free to encourage and expand on any suggestions here and I will gladly return the favour tenfold Ohh...and one other thing DESTRO4LYFE!!!
