Battle Hero medals for ALL

Day 3,937, 15:08 Published in Romania Romania by Nicolae Crefelean

Back in the late communist days in Romania, the food crisis was quite pronounced. People waited in long lines, from very early hours in the morning, to buy what they needed. If you got late, you could've easily return home without everything you needed. So it was quite common to hear people yelling towards the front of the line: "sell one per person, so there's enough for everyone". No kidding.

But do we have to shout out like that to have a better chance at getting BH medals? Wouldn't this game be a bit (or more) communist to do something like that?

If Plato would limit the number of BH medals you can get on a daily basis, I'm sure the "collectors" would be quite pissed off. But why do people get BH medals? Is the BH counter the most important thing, or the gold involved is a more important factor? I think it's mostly the gold.

So how do we make everyone happy?

I don't have access to any relevant statistics about how much gold these collectors get through medals, so don't take my proposed solutions as definitive, but merely examples. Let's consider the following changes:

1. Maximum 20 BH medals/day, regardless of the division you fought in

Effects:
- The players will try to fight in the biggest divisions, to win the most gold;
- As a result, the players in lower divisions will have a lot more chances to win a BH compared to those in higher divisions, which would become crowded;
- As crowded as the high divisions would be, the limit would still allow others to win BH medals.

Opportunities:
- It encourages less developed players to train seriously because they will actually have better chances to get BH medals;
- Motivated players can become buyers.

Risks:
- Upset the BH collectors, which might stop buying packs;
- More clones to collect BH medals using scripts, then launder the gold.

2. Reducing the risks with new rewards
We all know the Top Fighter medal - you need to be in top 100 damage for 30 days to get one medal. And we all know how there's a top 100 in the weekly challenge, by the first to reach the Prestige Hunter medal each week. Let's combine these for a new medal: Super Hero, with 4 different levels.

Super Hero (Diamond) - Rewar😛 2000 gold
Awarded for being 30 days on the first position at grabbing the maximum BH medals per day.

Super Hero (Gold) - Rewar😛 1500 gold
Awarded for being 30 days on the second position at grabbing the maximum BH medals per day.

Super Hero (Silver) - Rewar😛 1000 gold
Awarded for being 30 days on the third position at grabbing the maximum BH medals per day.

Super Hero (Bronze) - Rewar😛 500 gold
Awarded for being 30 days in top 100 (obviously outside top 3) at grabbing the maximum BH medals per day.

Effects:
- It encourages people to get Super Hero medals;
- It encourages these people to be even more competitive;
- It offers a compensation for not winning more BH medals;
- It generates more gold in the game.

3. Dealing with the gold inflation
Hi, sexy Lana! 😉 How about charming the old man to make more frequent events and discounts where people can spend gold?

I know Plato doesn't give a chicken on most ideas, so I won't overthink this. Do you think something like this could work? What would you change to make this a game feature that doesn't push away the big players while allowing the others to start having more fun?
