Fixing Emperor, the easy way.
There's been tons of Discussion around Emperor, Emperor farming, and campaign tactics designed to gain Emperor in a manner many gamers consider bad behavior.
Simple solutions to Fix Emperor:
No Skill points required to receive Emperor buffs and passives. They should be free; therefore, causing no grief regarding the invested skill point(s). A former Emperor will no longer be required to respec if he/she wants the point(s).
This also makes it fairly easy to regulate the Emperors powers.
No Former Emperor retains any passive. Losing Emperorship should result in the loss of Emperor buffs and passives. Retain title only.
Newly crowned Emperor buffs to an Alliance should remain the same.
NEW Emperor powers and buffs. Emperor powers should scale. Immediate 50% buff of current Emperor powers (not the current 100%). Powers should scale an additional % per hour over 24-48 hours until Emperor is at full strength (current Emperor full strength).
Emperor should be able to see the current buff timer and percentage in the character screen. This should bring some excitement since he can report this to the Alliance via zone chat.
