We Will Get Better Banquet Rewards if Everyone Does This

If you have a bunch of alt accounts make sure you log in and open the free crystals you get... In this way, that account will participate in the event; therefore, if everyone does that, your main account might get better rewards because tiers are % based. To explain what I am saying more simply. If 100 people participate in something 1% of 100 is 1 but if 1000 participates 1% becomes 10 people so more people participate with low points it increases your chance to get better rewards on your main account.

I'd be willing to bet that everyone who has alt accounts has already participated with them. The minimum requirements for the event make it hard to have a ton of extra accounts be eligible. Minimum acct level is 40 to have access I believe.

I thought this was redfire with a sneaky profile picture change at first but you're actually kinda spitting rn bero

There are no any minimum requirements I think to be eligible for rank rewards. Just opening that free crystal should be enough to participate and get last last-tier rank reward.

It does and doesn’t work that way. Sure, the more numbers you add the larger the pool of every percentage point. adding water does nothing for anyone 2600 or above.

1% of 5 people is 0.05 people.

So by that logic if 10 000 plays

Then 1% = 100 people

If 10 people play then 0.10% people is added.

So its still 100 people getting 1%. So technically saying "the more people = the more will get % is false".

As its "The more % of accounts participating = the more will get %"

So every 100 accounts = 1 extra person in 1%

As its "The more % of accounts participating = the more will get %"

increasing the number of participants by low points accounts means that point cut off for a 1% decreases. Imagine there are 10 people and only 20% get something, therefore 2 people but you are in third place. In that scenario, if you add more 10 people who has lower points than you then 20% of 20 people becomes 4 people so you as third place will get a reward in that example unlike in the first example.

Bro out here trying to get everyone to use their alt accounts to do minimum possible so his account places higher in rank rewards.

What a hero.

I don't have alt account so all the best to everyone doing same, help to make a better world for me and fellow Petyrs.

He's giving the psa because all the rank rewards below 1% aren't good for higher tier players. Even the 1% rewards are barely there tbh. So the more people who flood the bottom will propel all of the higher tiers even higher

This is the same advice we used to give long ago for the arena, since arena cut offs used to be percentage based to get the basic champ from the featured arena. The more players who participated, the more players got the top percentage reward. This was in part to counteract the notion that if a champ was in high demand and lots of players would go for it, there was no point in even trying because the odds were lower you would get it. That was true in one sense, but in a greater sense the more players who participated, the better it was for everyone.

It isn't just top 1% that gets larger, it is top 5% and top 10% and all the way down. The more players who participate, the larger all rank percentage brackets get, and the more rewards collectively all players get.

And yeah, there are players who think all but the highest tier rewards are not great, but free is free and getting free stuff on an alt so everyone else gets more free stuff on all other accounts is not the worst way to spend a minute.

Don’t disagree with any of that. Makes sense.

I guess my first post was more flippant than serious but my tone is also maybe more to do with something else and OP.

Having more trouble reconciling this part of your response though: “ getting free stuff on an alt” and by that I guess I mean not being able to whole heartedly agree with it as I could everything else you wrote. Reason being it’s down to what that alt is for no? For example, I have playable alts, 3 of which are paragon level. I take part in banquet with those kinds of Alta without even thinking about it.

But, I also have some 30 odd pure gifting accounts. These are accounts left over from actual gifting event from a few years ago. Last time I logged onto any of them was maybe 11 months ago. I do not actively play them. Spending the time to log on, claim something, open something, and then repeat across accounts just doesn’t appeal to me as the rewards those accounts get are completely wasted. I’ll never use any of it. As for doing it for the sake of pushing everyone else up the brackets, again, looking at my own accounts, the only brackets where rewards mean anything to me are the ones that aren’t influenced by alts doing minimum. It’s the brackets where you have to spend silly money. Am I willing to spend whatever time it takes to each of those accounts for meh rewards? Absolutely not. But if there’s others out there that are, more power to them.

I wouldn't ask someone to do that unless they really wanted to personally. I think this is more of trying to spread out the effort across a lot of people to benefit everyone, not trying to get a few people to push huge amounts of effort. If you log into the accounts anyway, might as well even if you don't think you're going to get much out of a couple free crystals. And if you have an alt you normally don't log into, logging into one alt to do this is also fine. But once it becomes a chore, that's when you have to decide if it is really worth it or not. Same like arena grinding back in the day: it wasn't hard to ask people to do a few rounds even if they normally wouldn't, or shoot for some low rewards even if they wouldn't get the top ones. But no one was thinking people should grind tons of rounds of dozens of alts just to push the brackets up a half a percent. That's only for crazy people.

Of course, arena grinders overlapped the crazy people quite a bit back then, so.

Do you think 333,333 points will get top one precent?
