500 valor for the first 4 medals...bad idea!

As far as i understood the coming patch description:

"Medals are now worth 500 Valor and 10 Commendations. Players only earn Valor and Commendations for the first 4 medals earned each match."

So, we get 4 medals: guard, taunt, killing blow, 10 kills and later can afk till the end of the match because there's no reason to die somewhere else if we ALL get the same amount of valor. AFKers are mostly bad geared players who want to reach BM title and better gear as fast as they can. BMs don't usually afk but fight. It's ok BW wants to give all equal rights but you'll make new players just lazy. I got my 65 valor lvl working hard during a month, and now each and every crab will get the same result in 3 days.

The better variant would be 200 valor and 5 Commendations reward for each medal. 10 medals would give me the same 2k valor bonus but made me work for this.

Different medals must find place in the game for healers, tanks and especially objectives. Each class must have an opportunity to get about 10 medals if works hard and get apropriate reward for this.

Giving the same valor amount to losers and winners is also a bad idea.

Winners - 1000valor

losers - 500 valor

This seems more or less fair to me.

I'm all for it. Once players get their 4 medals, they could go back to focusing on actually winning the match.

Farming medals does not equal "doing your best on the field". Discouraging medal farming is a GOOD thing, because it will help ensure that people will work more towards objectives and less towards damage and kills. A well coordinated huttball match, as an example, will see the most valuable players with far less medals than the randoms who were just concentrating on farming the other team. Not to mention the fact that a dps-spec tank (you) gets 3 free medals compared to other dps classes, as does a dps specced healer (though they will actually need to work for those), while still getting all the normal medals that a dps class such as a marauder/sniper gets. And let's not even get into what a full-time healer gets..

You get more valor for winning the Warzone than for losing.

Playing to win. Crazy idea, I know.

love how you made a new identical thread cause ppl didnt agree with you in your first Thread

/Repported for Thread spamming.

Farming medals is not what i'm talking about. BW will just make medal farmers life easier, that's it. Most come to WZ for valor because there's no reward for door cracking or goals on Huttball. If they don't change the reward system, peeps will just come and rest after getting 4 medals.

As for the second thread. It was so quickly going down that i thought it would be more suitable to create it in PVP tree.

Except, you know, you get even more valor and comms if your team wins the match. So now, instead of medal farming, the primary focus is on, you know, doing what you're supposed to (scoring in huttball, and attacking/defending in the other two)

Great idea, the challenge is to now win the warzone in an efficient manner so your premade can go on to win the next one. No more boring 15 minute farms.

^ This. I am sick of people medal farming when I get 7+ medals by following the objectives. >.>

It means the healers who get 3 to 4 medals a match (the people who help you win the WZ), are sufficiently rewarded for their contribution.

If people are going afk after getting their 4 medals, that's what the new votekick system is for.
