Suggestion: How many points should silver coins be?

Post by GuardianKnight »

I edited to be less pushy.
Silver coins are prob best thing to keep people active in those events so i changed my first post here to say everyone should probably just be happy with what you are getting. My second suggestion down here is valid though.



Also as a secondary suggestion, put a cool down on team switching on those games. I'm tired of my team jumping ship to be with the people they think are going to win. It's really destructive when all the servers top pvpers take on everyone else .



**edit** Yes i know that half a point is generous at best. And i may be a bit bias in even suggesting this sort of thing. But i'm bored and really wanna know everyone's opinon on it.

pshh....low price my butt. People making me pay normal price and they don't even know for sure that it's 1/'2 a point.

What a very angry sounding reply pro.

What was the point of giving any rewards for CTF after they were taken out?

Trophy's should be limited to PvP Events (1v1,2v2,3v3, etc.) and PvM Quests.


Trophy's realistically should be phased out so they are actually rare.... last time I checked trophy's were not on OSI at all. The crowd defending the trophy system simply want easy access to free gold/rares.

Might as well just say the trophy turn in system should be scrapped and there should be no way to get crazy items like cobwebs with squirming corpses in them or hued masks.

The system doesn't need to be scrapped, trophy handouts need to be drastically reduced and maybe eventually eliminated. Leave the system in place for existing trophies.


The system itself while inaccurate is not all that bad.... unless every event drops trophies. Face it how many events are there per day? Like 4 to 5 per day. Trophies should be limited to PvP and PvM events and those events should not occur more than once a week.


Think of it this way, Every day multiple events are held that give out trophies.... every day.

yes, and it still takes a long time to acquire enough points for a rare thats worth it. its not like a hued mask here and an unique item there within a week.

it takes several months of constantly playing on this server to get the trophies and gold. It should be seen as a kind of reward for playing actively on this shard.

I think 1/2 point per silver coin would be (is?!) fine and im really glad something has changed about it.

This argument is not what this thread is about and not something that needs to be argued. This system is new and it's what the majority wanted. You'll have to live with it for awhile because there is no reason to change it.

Be nice to have them instead of being used as trophy points, have monetary value for them in place of checks attributing no weight to them and having stacks count only as stones. Like each one could be worth 500 GP, and removing the gold reward entirely. You could only use them in Player to Player trnasfers as players would be the only ones who could redeem them.

Again I am dreaming, would be nice though.
