    Default Conquest and marks

    The main thing in conquest i would like to see changed is how marks are reward. Right now the only way to get marks is really to pve. You should be able to get them from pvp. My idea is that when you kill some one or when you give a saving heal you have a really small chance to receive a mark.

    I like my idea more (obviously duh ) where the entire faction gets marks every X amount of kills that faction has, maybe every 200 kills? On top of getting marks for everything you do (and make Shard of Conquest only take 10 to make 1 Mark).

    Because before-hand you were able to walk away from a match with 30 - 40 marks. Now you can still walk away with the same amount of marks, but the 50 shard thing is 100% gift and pure bonus that wasn't there before. How is a bonus a slap in the face. It sounds like you are the kind who would turn down the cashiers 20c discount coupon on soup because "lol it's a slap in the face, I'll take your deals when you take a dollar off".

    It's a freaking discount, no matter how much, it's less than before. That is all this 50 shard thing is. Mark hand-out was fine and has only been increased. This is the group who opens their birthday presents and cries and wants the free gifts returned because they aren't good enough...all year around.

    The only thing that has not drastically changed throughout the course of CQ is the mark-handout and how many you can obtain in one match. I got all my mark gear in under 8 days. I'm pretty sure mark hand-out is absolutely fine. Pick on other points but, walking away with anywhere from 10 - 40 marks is very appropriate imo.

    Um...you don't get as much... mostly because the boss never dies and that "bonus" you get is not much. Its like 60-80% of ONE mark in a long match. I did a match that lasted over a hour, did nothing but cap and pvp opposing factions who were in the way and got around 40 out of 50 shards in a match. Bad argument is bad. It has not been increased, it has been decreased (even though slightly) and the shards is supposed to be some kind of bonus, even though in the scheme of things it isn't. You need 575 marks for the trinket and in one match you get a "bonus" of 80% of 1 out of those 575?

    what i am complain about is the fact if i go in to the conquest and just i dont know kill ppl and end up on a losing team and get killed before i can pve i get nothing. the ppl who are getting the biggest reward are the ppl standing around capping the extractors. I know that is important but when i see a group for 20 ppl just standing on a extractor and not killing ppl 30 meters away because they want the reward. Then at the end of the match there is this mad dash to tag pve mobs instead of killing ppl. I dont know maybe i am just crazy and think the ppl pvping in the cq should get rewarded at least the same as the ppl pveing.

    I did CQ last night at got ~30 marks of CQ. It has only been decreased if you lose the game. If you win there is no reason you should see less shards, only more.

    This argument is terrible, you sound like you have not even played CQ. The only thing you were correct about was the trinket costing 575 marks.

    I logged in and played the next CQ I had available. Just reporting back to say I earned 48 marks in my last game. If you are that cynic I have screenshots of before and after. Please, just stop with this complaining. Mark hand-outs are fine. I just walked away with 48. If you walk away with a little amount of marks, maybe you should consider being better at Conquest.

    I just squashed every Mark complaint from here on out regarding not giving enough. GG.

    ps. lol combined by shards of conquest. 49 marks in one game!

    I would have recorded my favor but I entered at 135k favor. I strayed off on my own and did some stuff for half the game, but I capped out at 150k well before even the foci stage came. I imagine I probably netted about ~17 - 20k+ favor. Hard to tell though :/ But were easily looking at CQ matches where 15 - 20k favor is cake as well. If I capped out by getting 15k halfway through it.

    and how many of those marks did you get from pvping. none you got them from pveing. I am not complaining about the number of marks you can get but how you get them

    Mostly directed at this post saying I was out of my mind for saying what I did. So hence, I go in the game to prove people wrong. It's what I do.

    I guess complain till your face is blue over how you get them. But if you walk away from Conquests without much marks, you are just to blame. I assume if you enter CQ you want marks.

    I never said I don't walk away without much marks, I stated I get less than before, which is 100% true. I was easily getting 30+ a game without blinking an eye, the one I was in last night it was like 26? Something like that. Grats on getting 46 marks in a game. My other point (still proven right by you since you avoided it completely) that the "bonus" from shards is nothing. Like I said a hour long game where I did nothing but cap and tag mini bosses I got 80% of 1 mark, woo look at that bonus! Keep being awesome, look forward to your response.

    Doesn't make much of a difference anyhow, 40 more marks and i'm done with CQ

    There is nothing more to say. I played CQ and got 48 marks and possibly 20k+ favor. CQ rewards are absolutely fine.

    A bonus doesn't have to be significant. That is the point of a bonus. It's merely an avenue to pick up a mark everynow and then that you didn't have before.

    .
    Personally, I don't view using up yet another bag slot permanently with more fluff crap as a bonus. I'll let them keep the 1 cq mark per 3 matches if they would allow me to turn that off.

    Buy bigger bags and bank slots? Sounds like a personal issue.

    I started my own guild so I can have an entire guild vault to myself too. Do what you can do.

    You guys are seriously complaining because the clerk offered you a 20c coupon and it wasn't good enough. It's a bonus. Could have not had it at all. Then you couldn't complain about things regarding having it.
