If armor or weapons were awarded, IMO, they should be, at best, equal to Conflate or VM.
I think it would be great, if you got awarded a whole set of Conflate, for example, if you ranked high enough. Or maybe a set of PvP jewelry.
But giving something superior to what others can obtain, just throws off PvP balance even more.
Well back in the day the people who actually got the gear were pretty humble if I remember, but I will agree it's probably changed now due to people getting big headed over just placing in top 10 for crusade boards. Either way, a title or cosmetic would be nice, but the real question is if EmE is willing to do it for the players.
Yeah, it's unfortunate that people did that, and you're definitely right that that's why it got removed in the first place, but with the GvG update, there's once again a system that has potential for abuse like the rank-based gear did. Top guilds (heck, even one guild if they're particularly brazen) might systematically team up, wipe out other guilds that try to win the Civil Unrest Conflict on Saturdays, and then split the gold winnings evenly among themselves. To me, though, I see this as a sort of "second chance" EME is giving the pvp community for rank-based rewards (in this case, being whoever has the last tower standing). Maybe, if people play fair, and ONLY if, there might be a possibility of PvP rewards and titles based on rank coming back. Otherwise, yeah, you'll still be right, and my faith in humanity will plummet even further XD
Saw some reaper in FWC 15/0 with conflate 12, I think it will be worse if NA follows the Ktera reaper buff... and conflate is getting another buff too, IMO, conflate is pretty ridiculous for PVP.
