Make Gladiator's Circuit great again!
List of common complaints for BGs:
(1) Lack of rewards/incentive to get to GC for stacked accounts
(2) Stacked accounts "camping/stuck/chilling" in VT.
(3) Competition ferocity in VT due to fall off in participation because of players matching an endless stream of stacked accounts
Leaving aside the staleness of non-Valiant BG store. I think (2) happens because of (1) and (3) happens as a collective result of (1) and (2). Additionally, players don't want to give up what they already have. So, if you don't want to take something away, you need to add something somewhere.
So currently all the objectives are complete or win in VT or GC - so couldn't we just add GC only objectives in addition to those?
In other words, once you're in GC you're getting at least double objective rewards (maybe even worth having those objective have higher value).
Pros:
1) Incentivizes pushing to GC sooner you're stacking your rewards as much as possible
2) Everyone keeps the reward structure they currently have and can push for more
3) Stacked more competitive accounts are going to clear VT sooner
4) Should encourage more to players easing the VT matchups
Cons:
1) Always entitled players will cry that VT is still too competitive and they're missing out on GC objective rewards that they are owed
Neutral:
1) The value of the additional GC objectives has to be right to not mess with the game economy. It needs to be enough to substantiate the additional effort. It can't be so insane to push out the balance. Arguably, the bigger your account, the more it requires for your account to grow. (Think overfeeding an underweight person versus a morbidly obese person). Players punching above their weight can grow more rapidly (skill-based pro)
