GC Bandings & Rewards

WhiteKnight

Could be completely wrong here but it looks like the cut off for Uru2 is around 150 points, I think that's the highest I've ever seen?

I really think Kabam should have altered the bindings for GC as Uru2 is top 8500 players in GC and by looks on it around 9/10k are going to be stuck in Uru3 getting the same rewards whether you place 1 point or 150 points...

Personally, I think this great for BG having this many people pushing into GC and mainly because of the bonus points for playing in GC and should be implemented actoss the season, more points in GC than VT should have been the norm from the start.

But clearly Kabam wasn't expecting this many players to make it, surely we could include this points system going forward and introduce more tiers, like top 10k, top 8k etc

This is temporary. This season got insane rewards with Jack bg bltiz, that's why a lot of people pushed.

From next season things go back to normal.

If rewards wont get buffed and the store of battlegrounds stays the same, the next season going
to be one of the empty and driest by far !
I know im going to be camping in VT at least till 3rd week...instead of reaching GC first week.

Oh yeh 100% BUT the reason so many got into GC (I imagine) I'd the double points from GC over VT. Meaning, Kabam implement the same and hopefully more will get into GC as there's real value

As @MizuriNicole is saying they're camping in VT with no rush for GC because why would you? Rewards arene texactly great the higher up you finish so why put extra time and effort in unless Kabam give us a reason.

FYI, I'll be in GC week 1 as always because I'm addicted but is what it is 🤣

I think everyone is forgetting the main reason why so many are in GC. Though the bonus points are an incentive, I'd argue that the She Hulk piece was a much bigger incentive.
BG participation next season will obviously drop significantly because rewards will drop significantly and there won't be a deathless piece. Players that wouldn't have normally played forced themselves to this time around because it was worth it. They don't need to introduce more reward tiers going forward because it's going to go back to normal instead of having over 100k players make the circuit.

Then maybe that's the problem?

This season has clearly shown A LOT more players can get into the GC if they wanted to so surely the plan going forward is to make it worth getting into the GC for more players than just those pushing for top top rewards

Then the argument is less for more tiers in GC and more for better incentive to move up than a dumb emote. The question is whether or not Kabam wants/needs more people to play the game mode consistently, or if these specials situations that demand a significant uptick in participation are a better route for them.
