#62249, "RE: Some feedback/suggestion"


          

Here are my ideas:

1. Only award edge points if the person killed is worth some threshold (TBD) of AP charges.

2. Don't award edge points for multi-killing, and be pretty strict about what qualifies as multi-killing. (This may be covered by #1 above).

3. Do away with the "get X kills by rank Y" awards. These only create perverse incentives to stop what you're doing (i.e. ranking) and level sit until you reach the PK threshold for your current level tier.

4. Only award points for solo kills.

5. Set the cap at which PKs stop generating edge points fairly low, such that its reasonably attainable by most people who *try* to PK even if they're not super great at it. Maybe 20 PKs. The goal is to encourage people to participate; not to juice up the participants who are already really good. Potentially make each individual PK worth more since you're setting the cap lower and because of #s 1-3 above.

With each of the above I have:

1. Removed the (edge point) incentive to kill people who aren't good at PvP.

2. Removed the (edge point) incentive to kill any one character repeatedly.

3. Removed the (edge point) incentive to level sit in specific tiers. (There are still plenty of other reasons to level sit that aren't addressed by this change.)

4. Removed the (edge point) incentive to gang people.

5. Removed the incentive *once you've reached 20 PKs* to kill someone for no reason other than to generate edge points.
