Make crests faction specific

[Parallels66]

hello, my idea would be to make war crests/war tokens faction specific. this would encourage leveling alts as excess tokens/crests from mains or characters you dont wish to play anymore would be put to use, you would still be limited by the RR grind just the excess tokens or unwanted tokens on a character would potentially ease the "crest pains". having them faction specific also would stop "xrealm" crest gearing a character on opposite faction. i feel having easier access to gear on alts or potentially new mains from playing your main would encourage multiclass play and hopefully add better longevity to the game.

+1 Please and thank you.

Although personally I don't have an issue with the grind that is this game, at this point would this really do any harm?

Established and probably experienced players encouraged to stick around playing the game and being able to play what's needed while helping their alts.

****, I would make them account bound but faction wide at the very least seems an easy win for the health of the pop at this point.

+ 1 more for account bound like lotd stuff.

only high rr player have advantage they can grind pq with high amount of crests. but i guess the system can be "abused" by high lvl-support anyway. although i'd love to use some k crests from "other side".

Dont know if its a good idea but id love more that once you buy for example a full set of SOV , after unlock the next SOV pieces are on a discount and cost like 50% less crests or might just be that after youve unlocked sov all gear is on discount -50% crests? (except for triump ring?)

Just bring back gear from bags. Crests should be there to help you buy those last pieces of a set, not the only way to gear.

Creating a unified currency was one of the best changes made to the game, removing gear from bags was one of the worst.

This suggestion seems ripe for abuse and not new players friendly. More vets running BIS 80s to grind crests for alts means a bigger gear gap on average vs new players.

Make vets do the grind like everyone else. They already have established friendships and experience advantages over the few new players we get, no need to make it worse off for fresh 40s.

First i agree with you, been pushing this idea for a long time to make crest instead of bound to be Family so every toon you have in the same faction could share them, i see no reason this would hurt the game at all !!!

I've mentioned this some time ago. The grind sure is a problem. It's too long for a private server, and to be frank the old days of MMO's are gone. People don't have that kind of time or attention span anymore. A lot of new players quit after level 16. I have many characters myself and I get pretty tired of fighting the same people on the same 80+ characters. It's very discouraging to see 300 crests in your bag when you have 10k between all your characters. Less grind and there would be more people leveling, including new players sticking around. That's not to say make everything free. It just needs more balancing.
