Battlegrounds need rare rewards

Hello.
Remember the days when willpower arcane ring went for 500 000 gold+


Battlegrounds need something that makes it worthwhile besides casual small scale pvp.

A token system like keys in imperial city/sewers.

something that is hard to get and make people play and grind like crazy:-)

    Many of the sets are pretty sought after, making them BOP would tick your box just unsure the community would be happy about that!

    Some sets are wanted but there's so many already in the market to the point of deflation. They need to add something good for actually being in the top 100 & even better for being top 10.

    Good traited weapons. That's the BG's "rare" rewards.

    Only top 100 and then seems like only a 30% of getting a weapon at all.

    Don't get me wrong, would love to see apothecary satchels or something, but as it currently stands rare rewards do exist.

    It would be sweet @Turelus and its something I do, however people like to chase that meta like Pokémon and get that 0.1% to enable them to farm / grind the next Meta content faster :)

    So sadly the OP is kinda right, people need a carrot right now :(

    I'd say instead of rare, more useful. Increase Ap gains, and give something similar to what he had on midyear mayhem, mats of all kinds, and maybe low chances of militant ordinator pages.

    the lone wolf dies, but the pack survives.

    That content has to be enjoyable to be enjoyed. Premade teams are killing BGs. Not top ten but I have made top15-30 on all three Leader Broads two weeks in a row. But it's getting harder and harder to see myself as the highest or second highest score and still being on the losing team.

    You can easily get good trait weapons in purple from the AP boxes.

    You can still top one of the board's because they reward solo play a bit more than team play, just stick to it.

    But like I said before until they add good rewards there's nothing special about being number one, trust me I've gotten some of the most useless gear.

    Better rewards won't change that. Battlegrounds need a matchmaking system, then people would play for fun and the current rewards. Just putting in more rewards would just push more people out as the farmers with best sets and builds come in and normal players have no chance of winning against them. It's basically already like that.

    A ranking that predominantly reflects play time is not a good incentive.

    I play battlegrounds because I enjoy em, but keeping up with the pots is expensive. And those rewards won't sell for high enough to maintain that luxurious columbine lifestyle. I make do with the Alliance imm pots from Cyro, but still, I think I'm spending more AP than I'm gaining playing em.

    What battlegrounds need is a ranked mode. And glorious rare rewards tied to that. That would actually skyrocket BG popularity and it would also keep players playing.

    Current leaderboards are a big joke. You are first CG!!!! You spent the most time in BGs in a week. No skill involved.

    Players quickly lose interest in for fun-only mode.
