Focus on Grinding in Realm Event is making BG more boring

in General Discussion
I just wanted to put this out there. I'm sure others have felt it.
Battlegrounds are nice. I regularly get to the GC but I never try going beyond whatever the lowest stage is called.
Right now, however, BG are becoming extremely boring thanks to the regular grinding. I wish the game put less emphasis on Grinding BG in the realm event. The rewards are nice, but there's no will to get them. I'm sure the Game Team also realized this sentiment among the player base leading to the Stark (whatever) Foundation chipping in with extra points. I personally don't think I'll make it to 5K points (I doubt I'll reach 3K). I'm just bored out of my mind. I'm sure there are others like me, but if you're not and you're enjoying it, more power to you.
I can only suggest that the game team try to make the game less "grindy" and more focused on "fun".

    After I get through the double track that I paid for, I’m done with this game for good. It’s such a **** game now.

    I'm at 4.5k points and I'm so sick of it. I'll force myself to 5k and I won't be playing bgs for a few good seasons to come. It's so repetitive, literally just- 'fight onslaught and maestro' the simulator.

    I'm sure ppl will disagree, but that's been my experience today, playing for hours and just constantly fighting those two knuckleheads. It just isn't fun, personally.

    I rank up champs I like, and not necessarily for bg/ pvp purposes. That's my cross to bear for trying to have fun playing this game. I usually just get to gc and stop playing. But this time I tried to push myself for the titan, which has only reinforced my distaste for this game mode. And now i'm in too deep so I'll have to see it through. Sigh.

    Replace maestro with serpent and i agree with you. Everyone seems to have him aa a 6* and happily placing him on defense.
    Nah, ppl always ban serpent, so I never run into him. Maestro is really good for gc meta with his basic attack glancing and chunky hp, so I always see him.

    Hit 5,044 yesterday and now I will just chill, play for objective/ticket.

    Totally agree. This format is really bad. I won't be doing it next time (if it happens).

    Got to Diamond 1 and 5000 points in my main. I have another 700 of points to grind for my alt account later, but that's about my cap in BGs at the moment in this meta. Probably the most I've played BGs in seasons and only grinding to 5000 for a guaranteed 7 star. So tired of losing to the same characters at this point...

    That means u never even score 300k points - don't complain about realm event lol.
    - u can choose to not grind 🤷
    - good rewards should be given with no efforts then ??

    You want the titan crystal. Everyone wants it. Plus all the other juicy rewards along the way.
    But if it's a chore to grind the 5k points (not winning a lot), then your account and/or skill level isn't deserving of that reward.
    1st place on the leaderboard gets just half a titan. But a full one is awarded for just playing. Under normal circumstances you (and almost everyone who complains) would never sniff those rewards.
    So just shut up and play. Or don't play. All this complaining about points requirement is pathetic and sad. In all honesty, one random 7* won't magically transform your account. If you're struggling in BGs, it won't get better anytime soon.

    It’s boring…but good rewards take grinding. If you want the titan, you’ll have to put in the points

    I think I’m in the minority here, I enjoy BGs. There’s only been a couple metas where it deterred me from playing. I got to 5k points about a week ago, using elder marks for all my matches and now I just do the objectives every two days. I can see how some people think it’s a drag but me personally I love the game mode. The realm event definitely could have less grinding intensive though

    The first 3k points were fine. But after than it was a nightmare. Like my team is good enough to where victory tracks isn't too hard but then I hit URU and can't do ****

    if people stop grinding, BG would be dead.

    I hit 5K and it was definitely a tough road.

    Sorry dude, I don’t “want” the Titan. I couldn’t care less for it. I want a non repetitive, non grindy, experience. I’m at that stage in the game and in life where losing out on a Titan doesn’t matter to me. I love doing SoS events, AW showcase, Everest content and events of that sort. But this is just too stupid to waste my time on. The rewards compared to the time spent are not that great. I play the game to relax and have fun. Doing arenas grind causes less stress than BG.

    Today, we got a survey where one of the questions was : “would you play the game if you have 10 minutes of free time” (or something to that effect)? No I wouldn’t. There’s nothing in the game that would have me say “Ah, I’ve got 10 minutes, let me play this?”

    Again, as I said, if you enjoy it, good for you. Play it and enjoy it. I just wanted to express my frustration at the way this particular Realm event has been designed. It just causes FOMO. That’s not healthy, either for players or for the game.

    My frustration not comes from the grind, but from the stupid passive Ai which refuses intercept in a gc meta where they expect us to intercept constantly to deal damage.

    If you don’t like it then don’t do it especially if the rewards aren’t important to you. Not everyone has to like all the game modes. Many do like BGs though.
