I still think that system should be changed away from “quick reward” stimulations.
This Suggestion: Weekly Higher Quality Reward WM Activity Quest imo is the best idea for rewards based on WM activity, and it can be used instead of AOO and for both factions.
Play in War Mode / WPvP - get rewarded for that, the more you do it - the better rewards you get.
In addition - seasonal achievements
Achievement -> titles/cosmetics/mounts is a great way to involve players with War Mode too. And they don’t even have to be quick like 5-10 numbers, make it bigger and more complex conditions, or series of achievements that give smaller rewards like cosmetics from smaller achievements and titles+mounts from a final. Like conqueror one. Just more of them - 1 each season at least.
With combination of both - we could have quite an interesting system of both - incentives and rewards, that constantly gives something to work towards for those who are interested in activity.
Plus - it wouldn’t create unpleasant situations of PvE players on one side on-off-ing it for a quick gain and frustration of everybody else.
Bonus - should be removed, and brought back only in form of 5-10% with big outnumbering - but I doubt it’ll even be needed. Especially if all sharding situation was changed for something more stable like layers of connected realms.
