Gold Items and Ability-Altering Weapons as End of Campaign Rewards

The End of Campaign Leaderboard rewards now contain items if you are in the top 10% or higher for your Alliance.

The top 2% of the Leaderboard for each alliance will receive a gold set item and an ability-altering weapon.
The top 3% - 10% of the Leaderboard for each alliance will receive a purple set item.

Doesn't this mean that people will flock to the shorter campaigns for more chances at these special items?

Shouldn't Zenimax think this through and yeah you can't test this very well on PTS. But realize there's a player reaction to the poorly thought out mechanics that Zenimax often implements?

    shorter campaigns should receive purple only...They should go by amount of AP gained during campaign plus leaderboard.

    If this brings more people to the shorter camps then by all means. Every camp but TB and CR suffers from pitiful faction balancing. We don't need more camps we need more people all around, but if there ARE no people available than that speaks very poorly for the overall health of the PVP scene. I can see the very best of the best getting rewarded more than just gold, but for the rest of us grunts we shouldn't be getting more than what we already get. This cannot be allowed to turn into what you have with other MMOs where you get the gold star sticker for just showing up. Rewards should have to be EARNED, not dropped into your lap because you're 'special'.

    Top 2% = only 6 people will get gold items right?

    Yes, if every alliance has only 100 players in campaign. But if each have 1000 players in campaign, then 60 people gets gold reward.

    You still got leaderboard ranking even if you're not in top 100.

    What does it matter, when all Cyrodil Sets are crap because of not having impenetrable on them?

    Thx to Giny, Sarana, Thaili, Derra, Cherahim, Gloy, Raweelz and Drimacus, you make the game worth playing even with AoE-caps, no usefull progression past Assault / Support Rank 10, and with PvP being not even close to balanced.

    I wouldn't mind the rewards being for the top leaderboards if those leaderboards actually meant something.
    Mostly it's just farm players and always defend, welcome to the top ten. Those out doing behind enemy lines captures or pushing forward rarely make enough for the top ten.

    This is just going to encourage even more people to stand around doing nothing trying to get extra defence bonus rather than leaving keeps and actually fighting forward. Woop!
