Community Discussion: Maximum HKs

[Imperium]

My idea: Have players get taxed for Maintaining ranks after Champion. Like 20 wsg marks, 20 AB marks, 20 EOTS marks...This makes higher tier players want to win BG's while online to remain at there rank of GM/HW status.

Further more follow this up with gear prices moving up --- but as you increase in rank you gain more honour from the daily quests (much like in areana and the prebc honour system). This motivates players to increasing in rank to get more honour -- aswell reward players who play on our server more!

With this kinda of system, players are wanting to rank up, Warlords are wanting to win, and the farm will hopefully add the additional "lock in" factor for our server.

ON A SIDE NOTE:
Beyond that gear is not the main reason for losing - it's usually class composition with a mix of skill.

I actually like this idea; remind me of Vanilla's PVP system. You only retain your rank so long as you earn the required honor and HKs a week for that rank, and in order to rank up you need to reach another cap.
In other words, you have to win battlegrounds weekly/daily in order to maintain your status as a HWL/GM, instead of just farming kills.

I don't think capping HK's is going to solve anything. This is my idea anyways:

Ban GY farming and maybe cap the max time a BG can go on for to maybe 1 hour for WSG

Make it so in order for a BG to start you need a higher number of people on both sides, i.e 8 for WSG or 10 for AB.

Freeze horde character creation for a while and give alliance donations a discount temporarily to encourage more s4 players.

To the alliance players: Stop making friggin druids, make SP's, warlocks and mages

kthxbye.

That what fak said about freeze people with more than 20k hks , thats what you should do, Many people inverted time of their lifes on made that Hk's , .
Its the same if today you have 2000 ppl playing your server, and tomorrow you have 0 (just a Example of the feeling).

Peace.

Are you comparing Players online to HK amount? Wow.

Your HKs give you absolutely no advantage or make you any special after your rank 14 title, but some people still feel the need to farm them. Just makes no sense. I'd understand if you'd get a reward (you do, r14. But not after that) for going higher and higher but no, you don't gain ANYTHING.

You don't gain anything from arena too since most of you guy's can't even get higher then 1600 here.
You don't gain anything from raids too since most of the raids are bugged here and people can't even clear a full ZA run here.
You don't gain ANYTHING here at all but FUN so ENJOY instead of being a total DOUCHE!

I actually just play battlegrounds here to have fun.

Also some of the idea suggestion(s) in this thread are nice but like Henhouse said before he doesn't want to change the battlegrounds too much that it's completely different because most of the people play a private server to get back the "retail feeling" and if Smolderforge is going to customize the battlegrounds too much then it won't give you that same feeling since it's custom made and it's different then how Blizzard actually intended it. I think that will make people leave as well..

P.S. Oh and the actual reason the population is decreasing is because Iran got blocked and like 30% of our population (if not more) logged in from that country so in the end I don't think you have to do such major changes to the server. Like I said at the start of this thread that graveyard camping is NOT I repeat NOT the main reason why our population is decreasing.

This was brought to my attention the other day and I realized it was actually very, very true. Donations haven't really decreased much and Iran produced 0% of donations so it makes things very accurate.

Oh yeah forgot to add credits to Henhouse for that information :$

Still an unfavourable sign, that population doesn't cap out at those earlier 300.

I actually do, I already won the HK race in my eyes since I was only planning to get 100,000 HK's server first at the start but since I enjoy my character so much and since I did everything else already I just keep playing battlegrounds on it to keep my guild running and to keep #1 on the HK's. And yes I actually ENJOY doing that and I have FUN.

[Pevato]

I re-rolled horde. Later. This isn't my char anymore.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

See that...Thats why the server is dieing, idiots like Pevato Reroll horde cause they get fed up of getting Farmed or they just suck so they want to join Firstaidshits guild, like..oh pevato...makes sence.
