BG Quest, anyone?

[Namine]

Except what sort of "daily quest" will be pvp based if the issue is potentially population related? As much as I'll be personally happy to have a non-pvp way to gain BG gears, I think that it'll actually be the final coffin for this pvp event then.

Rewards need to go up for people to bother, and it needs to be enticing enough with risks involved so people who really want it, will be persuaded against giving it up to luck to dice. So here is a wild fantasy idea with no consideration if this is technically viable- Do a build-up multiplier on key-less BG rewards if no BG has been successfully hosted every day

Leave BG keys triggered events be: if the keys prices are lowered, that's fine.

However, for the "free" BG events that are announced on the hour that nobody bothers with, we can do more to entice them with high rewards such that people want to compete for it instead of hand it over to luck. I propose that for every 24 free BGs hosted, if there are no winners (so ignored for 1 entire day), then the prizes for the winning side increases by 50%, and the losing side only increase by 33%. If another day passes, then increase by 50%/25% again off of the new number and continuously repeat until BG has enough players to host, then the prizes reset back to default with no multiplier.

BGs hosted by keys do not reset nor is it affected by the multiplier.

Sample math
Let's assume that in BG, winner gets 6 points and loser gets 3 as base. (in reality, the base varies depending on which BG gets hosted)

After 1 day, winning team gets boosted to 9 points, and loser gets 4 points.
After 2 days, winning team gets boosted to 13 points, and loser gets 5 points.
After 3 days, winning team gets boosted to 20 points, and loser gets 7 points.
After 4 days, winning team gets boosted to 30 points, and loser gets 9 points.
After 5 days, winning team gets boosted to 45 points, and loser gets 12 points.

Why does this encourage attendance?

Put if off due to laziness or greediness to build it up, and some other group may snatch the multiplier on the BG point prizes, resetting it all. It doesn't require keys. If established players all get lazy, then it's entirely possible for 4 new players to take it all.

Why does this encourage actual pvp over dice/"suicidal-speed runs of BG"?

-This isn't affected by key-hosted BG, so there's no rush to start the next match ASAP. Plus, the multiplier will reset anyway if BG is successfully hosted. Fight and drag it out as long as you need to.
-Difference between winning and losing is massive: there's huge incentive to actually take the points at all cost via winning
-There is less worry of snowballing and being harsh on new players: keys are still there to keep dicing away to get your gears just like now. Also, losing this BG is still better than regular BG even if the loser multiplier is way lower.


*note: I just chose 50/25 percent as proof of concept. If we're actually doing this, obviously we need to do more math to see what's a reasonable buildup rate.
