The PK Matches need to be more rewarding

Title says it all.

Honestly, for participating in a match, all you get are x3 random healing potions. They could be level 51 spirit herbs or 16 healing pots...

No one does PK matches for these awards as they're as good as crap and when you receive them, I just toss them out because it takes up unnecessary item bag space.

Yes, PK matches are fun (kind of but not really) but Frogster, you guys need to make these "mini games" more motivational. Therefore, the incentive of participating in these PK matches could be better rewards. For example, 1 phirius shell for 1v1, 5 phirius shell for 3v3, 10 phirius shell for 6v6 matches. If mementos instead - 10 mementos for 1v1, 50 mementos for 3v3, and 100 mementos for 6v6.

This would get a lot more people interested in participating in Runes of Magic's mini games. In addition, it opens a more active and fun way of getting these phirius shells and mementos that we need for gear other than getting on daily just to do all 4 mini games for shells or farming DoD for 2 hours for your 630 mementos.

Not true... you also get honor points for killing the other people. And if you win you get a reward of 100 honor points.

That's a big enough reward for me. If you do them all day you can get thousands of honor points.

Not to mention people who will just exploit this. Like say having 5 alts sign up for arena, just to get easy win/forfeit matches. Or people who decide to just "take turns" winning to get quick rewards

Ya true. Also it would just be way too easy. There's rogues in arena that can win a match just by being the only one on the team and killing everyone easily. Mems/Shells would become much too easy to get.

I would most definitely sign my alt up to 1vs1 and just farm him all day. Who wouldn't?

i only do the arena matches for the fun of pvp, and the honor points...i even have my loot addon chuck all the arena bag things i get automatically so they don't clog my bp

though if there were better rewards, i actually would open the bags ;)
my r/p can outdps r/m. your name is stupid.

Honor points are useless at this point aside from getting mats. Great reward for you, not for others.

Then Frogster can just limit it to 10 matches a day or something. Don't run into a brick wall so easily.

Problem with the honor rewards is they have not been scaled up enough to match the games level cap.

Um, what?

I use honor points like crazy on materials for instance runs. Earning enough of them means I don't spend a single gold piece on buying pots out of the AH. That, in and of itself, cuts the cost for me to do instance runs in half. And the PVP sets themselves are still very much coveted for the abilities they provide.
In a world of black, white, and grey... I'd be bright friggin' purple. M/P on Reni.

Mats for potions = not having to buy pots. And with the amount of potions you go through at endgame, that's a good thing. You can also buy guild runes. And repair hammers.

It's not like it's a useless reward.

Putting mems or shells in as a reward will just make it even easier to get stats without running the instance than it is already.

Meant the gear not the mats. Sorry for the confusion. Plus with the new chapter real soon will they ever give us everything we want?/

Alternatively, GMs can also make it so only the first 10 matches every day reward mementos / phirius shells. If you're so against this idea because people can farm memos / shells, then that'll solve it.

Secondly, having the pvp matches rewards memos / shells every match and a toon farming it is no difference from the two Reni players that I see botting DoD 24/7.

EDIT: I'd also like to add honor points, in my opinion, are so useless to the point that I have now stored 87,300 honor points and not spent any =)

Umm, isn't that a bad thing? I don't think making your idea sound similar to botting is helping your argument here

Anyway, I go into arena for the fun of battling people who also enjoy pvp. I'd rather not be going against afk alts trying to game the system for rewards

Afk alts don't get mems or shells for losing. Unless you're going to lose to one.... haha!

Ya if they made only the first 10 matches that would be better.

Do you buy potions then? Stims, unicorns, hero potions, repair hammers, all that with gold? Should just use honor points if you have that many of them. Instead of wasting gold on it.

They can just as easily be on your team. Plus they would take up the spots of people who actually want to sign up to fight.

I can easily multibox 5 alts to sign up for arena and do nothing, about half of them will win each time, doesn't matter which ones they are. This creates a problem when multiple people do this and there ceases to be any more fun or legitimate matches

They do give honor points for killing players and winning.

I highly doubt you can. Pvp matches are paired up randomly. Who says your alt is going to go against another one of your alts? Chances are far too slim.

As for multi-boxing 5 alts... nope not possible. As far as I know, I'm not into hacking but I guess that's something you wish to pursue.
