I play jugg/mara. I play to kill people, not to win. Changes will do nothing for me except gives my mara as much valor as my jugg. Play style will not change for my mara but for my jugg, no more guard. Sorry.

2000 = 2k
2000000 = 2000k
2000K = 3140.33^o F


... just saying ...
Your diagnosis is clear, but what did you want to add to the thread?

Except for, you know. Entire warzones just getting 4 medals and afking till the end. Dont think it will happen? They didnt think people would sit on ilum and kill trade or flip the objectives back and forth for valor buffs for warzones either. But they sure as **** happened.

The problem is that they're bandaiding a bad system instead of just ing fixing the system.

Instead of making medals useless, change the medal system to award objectives instead of individual performance. BAM, medal farming disappears overnight, and medals aren't worthless.

Did i understand correct your idea? If so, it's just BAD idea my dear BW.

Every match with my premade i do about 8-11 medals as vanguard assault. I don't want to get the same valor amount doing NOTHING with those who did their best at the field.

The better variant would be 200 valor and 5 Commendations each medal. For 10 medals i'd get the same 2000k bonus valor but must work for this. The first 4 medals are too easy to get. The reward must be appropriate.

Don't feed the crying hamsters!

We need challenge!
We don't need easy Valor farm!
We don't need free BM and other titles!

"WE WANT TO WORK HARD TO BE UNIQUE!" - Think about the concept.
If i understand your post correctly your just mad at not being able to get free valor and commendations in the future for having one of the few advanced classes that can guard/taunt and get 3-4 free medals a warzone, this system was implemented for a reason, go figure what(psssst its something about some advanced classes getting more medals). This is by far one of the best options they could do, also its still worth it to get more medals, since it normally gives you more mvp votes.

TL;DR a dude who is used to getting free medals is unhappy that these free medals wont give him more unfair valor+commendations in the future and posts a thread. LOL

I prefer the idea of 250 per medal for first 8 medals.
Even pure DPS classes can achieve 8 if they play well, 4 just seems too little.

Its about time. The medal system is completely meaningless without specific context. Context that is nearly impossible for a program to discern even with thousands of if/then statements. Play to win the game. Its really as simple as that.

If you honestly believe that you're some hot **** in a warzone from medals that may or may not have contributed to a win, you're quite delusional. A person trying to get more medals past 4 wasn't trying to win, they were just trying to get more medals.

And also, the person who keeps misspelling medals as metals, I weep for how bad your education was.

Ever heard about healers the pure dudes that get 0 medals, but probably contribute most to your team. so therefore 4 medals is just fine,also yes dps classes can get 8 medals, but to get that amount you will need to sometimes not be a team player, for the solo kill medal for example, therefore 4 is a good medal amount, i might think 6 is okay, but then we think of the poor healers agin.

TL;DR 4 medals is a good balance since some advanced classes CANT get 8 or 6 medals.
