BG Point Farming engaged…

Gonna be rampant in VC with T7B and a Titan out there. Just to be clear, no rule against it anymore correct?

Yeah, I agree completely.

Sitting in Vibranium 2 myself. Some people are farming, but it's not incredibly different from the forfeits I see due to roster size discrepancy.

A few people might get Uru 2 rewards instead of Uru 3. Big deal?

When push comes to shove, everything will settle as people start to focus on season rewards.

It all goes down to how engaged a person is or how much they care. There is a complete disparity in milestone rewards and radiance incentive. Sure the try hards or hyper active people will go for all of it; but others who don't care, who get to GC and do minimum effort cause they just don't care anymore? The event milestones reward are better than rushing the 3 objectives for radiance... They should have had that in mind.

I think there will be a lot of people auto-playing in GC at 0 points the first week. Clear the rewards, then shoot for the 100 and 200 thresholds.

8 whales that want to pay for Elders and Energy will stay at 0 throughout, going for the top milestone.

A vast majority of us know this, and we're going to compete again after we get the Titan and T7.

Throughout, a lot of people will get into GC, then get a free victory or two. But they're not going to surpass 32 if they're not capable.

A tad more convoluted at the line between VT and GC than usual. But not greatly different than other seasons.

It never ceases to amaze me how people can rationalize taking advantage of the system. Sure, screw the whole system! It's not that bad. We're helping those people playing honestly!

Right.

Not my case, I am helping myself to the shortest grind possible. I don't really care about the others, Kabam doesn't either. They would have found a solution if they did.

That's the major way our worldviews differ.

Honestly, Kabam is an immoral, fraudulent organization.

They "choose" to operate in this fashion. Therefore, we are under no obligation to act morally in return.

I support anyone who gets over on them.

Just know guys, if I encounter any of you with 2* decks, I'm going to pause the entire time just to annoy you.

Btw shld I climb gc and farm with 2* accounts or farm in VT itself?

You keep saying that but they've spoken out about farming in the past. People know what they're doing. They just don't care. Which ruins it for others, honestly. It's going to take a couple seasons for the system to rebalance, and other people are going to suffer for it.

Of course you're one of those clowns. Just take the free win and move on. Either way, if the first fight takes longer than 30 seconds im just quitting and moving on. Plenty of normal players appreciate the free win.

I'm doing a little bit of both.

Sitting in Vibranium 2 now. With 5,000 elder marks. Spend some throughout the day tanking.

I'll have some beers after work later. Get to GC, do the side quest. Spend the rest of the marks i

Why are you fixated on the first thing they said about farming? Why are you ignoring the fact that they said it wasn't a big concern cause of the 2 coin 1 coin system?

You keep on talking about the integrity, the competition aspect. How people are getting rewards that they don't deserve or get to a position that is not meant for them. If they didn't apply the 2 coin system they wouldn't climb as fast. Why do I mention this? How is it fair a lower account has the benefit to just forfeit against a bigger account and exploit the fact that they only lose 1 coin ok? Isn't that the equivalent of picking and choosing matches at the expense of half the punishment?

Yeah, get the radiance.

You get more points tanking in GC, anyways.

I have 7 1/2 T7 Currently. One Titan. I think I'm going to wait until next month's EQ drops to get some more Titan shards. Along with the other Spider event and other event? Open 4-5 Titans in a couple weeks at once.

So, the milestone rewards aren't a priority for me right now.

I just want to play a couple slightly consequential BG matches with my beers getting to GC. Also, not sit around all weekend auto-playing, too. So, I'm tossing half of my elders away throughout the day in Vibranium now.

agree, if you are one who can get the radiance milestones, go to GC. That’s not me, and I usually hit walls the first two weeks in VC and then make GC. So if I am going to be stuck anyway, I will just point farm now and take advantage of almost zero time wasted waiting for a matchup. That’s what I foresee being the downside in GC farming in Uru.

If you have Radiance disincentivizing people, and no Solo Milestones, it's not a problem. Now, you have people farming for the Milestones, and a system that accelerates their climb, and Players that are being tossed up higher than they should be.

Didn't you just say Kabam is fraudulent and you hope people get whatever they can?

I'd say your perspective is slightly askew.

It's been a year from that post, they did nothing. Matter of fact they didn't even chime in this active thread.

Your mention of radiance makes the situation even worse, there is radiance and they still did nothing.

So some people will get 10k radiance from being pushed to GC and a bit more for finishing in URU, oh no...

Maybe they should have turned this into a realm event, or put the rewards in VT tiers, that would have kept the season normal.

Dam @GroundedWisdom it's time to pick another hobby. You keep stating something that Kabam has said it isn't a big deal due to them and they are aware of it. Why must you keep arguing a losing arguement. The only players benefiting right now are those that care to try to win a match. This seems like a win win for everyone. Kabam made a solo event that anyone can achieve by anyone playing BG from beginners to top of the tier players as long as you play enough BG matches. Not that you need to win enough matches. You don't think Kabam know what they were doing by giving out points for losing. They have the data and with that dats Kabam has determined that they want everyone who is willing to do the grind to achieve the top solo rewards. The top rewards are worth it for most summoners so most will try for it. It doesn't mean that there's only one way for them to get the rewards by winning and advancing, you can lose be stuck and still get points. How many players in past have complaint that they can't beat all these whale accounts can now still get points to achieve the top tier solo rewards. I think that's a win for everyone from the FTP to the whales. Stop being a clown and trying to create controversy where there's none.

It is a win for everyone, people are getting more rewards in the track or in GC and have to grind less because they got points faster.

Is it detrimental to BGs? Yes; but they shouldn't put a grind event in it then.

Do lower accounts care about the next season that will be completely botched or do they care about getting those milestones done this season?

Like I said you have to separate BG competitive aspect from the event, the event has 0 competitive qualities other than playing match after match after match.

Besides they will have the non competitive BG soon.

u can point farm in gc - that's safe

in vt - just don't do it that openly

Fun fact, I have not seen that many matchmaking complaint post yet, maybe its because people are being given wins...

Well, we can agree on one thing, Having an Event that makes it more lucrative to farm is a bad idea.
