BG points farming

Points farming is a thing in BG, it has been for a while. For those out of the loop, top players basically camp out near the top of victory track and farm easy wins by intentionally losing a certain number of matches.

Now I've had a brilliant idea!

Introduce a points multiplier system, similar to the one for AW tiers in gladiators circuit.

This way players will be encouraged to reach GC early and take advantage of that point multiplier.

    There should be a points multiplier for Valaints, so if they want to farm points then do it in GC.

    But that would punish Valiants who have no desire to push/play in the gladiator circuit

    Actually it's not a too bad idea it would solve problems for the lower progression accounts.

    The first week of gladiator circuit points are x1,4
    second week points are x1,3
    third week points are 1x1
    Last week are normal points.

    It could work, but then how fair would it be for the Vaillant who can't really play the first week... I think it is worth a try tho.

    Multiplayer doesn't mean base farming points what we have currently changes,
    Think of it as bonus points to be earned each win in GC.
    Current points will remain as it is in victory track.

    Look at it this way, why should people who don’t want to progress further get the same level of rewards as people who do put in the effort

    GC is supposed to be hard, and it should be more rewarding because of that

    You do realize under the current system, people who play and progress through the GC get more than people who don’t? You’re not stating anything new

    Well yes, but the current reward system isn't enough. If it was, then more players would push to GC instead of sitting in VT until the end of the season

    How do u know someone is farming ?? Have u matched them multiple times ?? Or u are just guessing and throwing arrow blindly 😂 because u are facing big account

    .... Really? Cause that has been the argument within the game itself since season 1..
    Why do people who don't progress in THE GAME, complain and get the same rewards.
    So your solution to being treated like a carrot in VT in BGs is the same solution for not being the carrot..

    We are not camping, we are just playing every other day and in no hurry to climb.

    Solo milestone/alliance milestone points should be twice in gc.

    Also buff gc ranked rewards.

    It was a real suggestion for the points multiplier, but I get what you mean

    How are they camping if they're winning?

    He thinks they pick on him, lose.a few matches and come back to pick on him... Which happens it was a thing before when they changed the milestones for a special event.

    This is not the season people will be camping out, especially early on. There are a lot of matches needed to get to the GC, and anyone who camps too low, too long might find themselves missing a bunch of titan shards and deathless piece.
