Reducing regular VG rewards with occasional doubling/tripling just adds more to the problem, as it makes playing between OP events even more obsolete.
The double vanguard event affects everything rewarded except gold, item exp and reward points. VG Points, Dragon Scales, Noctenium as well as other misc items will be given out at a lower rate. Other regions have the base rate but they also seem to put a little more effort into their version, EU for example (yes people complain about the comparisons but it's the closest region to compare to) offers their own token system which you can loot in nearly every dungeon and actually offers decent rewards while also keeping their VG shop updated where EmE takes months and months to figure out how to delete a shop and move the items over to another.
It would be nice if they edited the daily rewards as crystalbinds are just an inventory clogger, both for elite and non elite as CCBs are still widely common and cheap. EmE cannot add a 16 daily reward themselves, that's something only BHS can do and is something they have planned to do but just haven't done it yet.
worse idea ever!
with the state we have we can be sure of what we have and will have as rewards. Events are pure rng and it will lead to even huge depth as someone will be more lucky and some not. This becomes pathetic - instead of working for rewards we will have to pray the rng god?? Lol??
also remembering how poor and boring events became (gringing one same dungeon named TR while eu managers ate full of interesting ideas) i dont think this gonna make our life fun but less motivating to play.
ps. Some of my friends left tera this month. This will lead yo even bigger loss as we will have no motivation to do something except e.r.ping and afking.
Tera is already boring af and its not middle of the cycle and me. Its the fact that nothing happens. (i dont say abput Spacecats event - that was like breath of fresh air after long staying in cave).
Quality of Life > Extra couple days to get Rare Glyphs/Etchings
My opinion on the is firm af boi
As much as I do support (most of) what you said on this topic, I think that your poll is unfair to EME, of course if you put options for 'more of everything' people are going to pick it. Honestly I hope they keep things exactly as they are now. No more, no less. Making things too easy to attain shortens endgame, and that's the #1 complaint that people have about tera.
I work a lot, so I personally progress somewhat slowly, but I find the current rate of progression extremely satisfying, I know that this is opinion based, but consider the long term effects of the options that you posted on the poll.
Thanks~
The dragon scales are a pain to farm, for real. Lowering the vanguard rewards will make that so much worse and it’s extremely demotivating. Even getting the highest glyphs will be a pain because 180 tokens means I have to do 12 high IoD quests.
To me it seems like they deactivate it just so they can tell us “look, we are giving you more events” every time they activate double vanguard rewards. Not to mention that every time an event is active, all IoD channels will be full during the night.
I can’t think of any other reason than the one I wrote down above and after years of this event being active, the change only has a negative effect on the players.
I used to play EU and the 100% keen mote droprate makes IoD a bit easier but I highly doubt that will happen on NA.
EnMasse, listen to your players and don’t deactivate the double vanguard. Not a single player will be happy with it. Not everyone wants to farm for nearly a year just to get a dragon.
Your playerbase is shrinking rapidly, don’t make it even worse please. I know Bluehole is in charge of most stuff, but this is YOUR decision.
Totes QoL on solo content and screw over group content
Btw high tier bams are easy to clear and low tier bams get killed so fast you're basically perma moted even with a lower drop rate so a higher mote drop rate doesn't make up for taking days longer to acquire things.
they are unable to smoothly run events so double or triple vg events will be a mess.
leave the vgs as they are plz!
I don't think this change will have any impact on Elite, as vanguard rep/gold/etc. were never doubled by Elite (although some people have requested it from time to time).

There's no point in having the extra VG quests that elite gives every day if the rewards are not worth grinding for, I think that's what he means.
Elite has lost his value a long time ago.
If you don't use the broker it is more than a luxury than something worth buying.
Elite doesn't provide extra VG quests, unless you're referring to the extra dungeon entries which result in more dungeon vanguards?
