IDEAS FOR RYZOM


PvP Points at OP Battles

Elvanae, that's a reasonable request.

PvP points were set up to encourage flagged inter-faction and inter-nation combat. My opinion is that setting up "physical" rewards like armor (and whatever else you can buy with them) was a bad idea, and that they should have been set up with a leaderboard strictly for boasting rights. That still wouldn't get rid of farming, of course, but it would quickly become obvious who was farming, and who was doing "real" PvP and people would adjust their opinion of the leaderboards accordingly. Adding additional farming opportunities in terms of OP battles and non-consensual (*) "active area" PvP would be just that: adding additional farming opportunities.

OP battles already have their reward in the collection of OP mats; they don't need more.

That's why.

(*) Yes, it's non-consensual. Just because I have to run through Nexus to get to eastern Wastelands doesn't mean I consent to PvP, it simply means I've got an extra risk in addition to all the cuttlers and torbaks.
