Insane Skirmish Reward Track Idea / Death of AFKing

Instead of ramping up rewards,Front load them.

100 pips gets you heavy reward containers and 300 skirmish tickets. After that, every 5 min that your participation is above tier 3, receive a buff that grants 1 skirmish ticket/memory of battle for a player kill (10 for refreshing siege under 45 min) and gives 1 mist wrapped package whenever the player receives a container drop (heavy loot bag, champion bag). Lasts 5 min.

Refreshing siege that is under 45min now grants participation and 1 heavy loot bag.

I think afking would be fixed if they just added pips to EOTM as well as gliding.

Makes scouting a lot less rewarding, though, and on our server, it's already hard for our commanders to get 4 people to scout on a full map.

Refreshing siege should never give loot rewards or participation. If it is changed to do so, be prepared for massive troll siege (and more AFKing).

Because a heavy loot bag, mist wrapped package, 10 skirmish tickets and 10 memories of battle every 15min per piece of siege is unrewarding? Why do scouts expect big rewards to be semi afk in an objective safe from harm? I just don't get it.

You are right , it would be insane, in a bad way, you can get 100+ pips in 30 minutes, and with 300 tickets you can almost buy a piece of mistforged ascended armor, if anything this would encourage EVEN MORE people coming in to afk 100 pips to get an ascended piece every week then leave without hardly playing the mode. The system works better with the biggest rewards at the tail end, the afking is not as bad as everyone claims it to be...

Sure if you are outnumbered, 1st place and platinum or higher rank... and even then it wouldn't make sense to afk for 30min, like it's 30min lol...

And btw, skirmish tickets are pretty much not the cost factor in ascended gear. It's memories of battle, and crafting tokens. Even for the tier 3 armor it's still 22g for the cheapest 350 skirmish ticket gear at current memories of battle pricing.

With a 45min requirement it's a 15min window. There just isn't a way for tons of people to refresh 45min siege and still be worth their time.
