Getting rewarded for doing something you already do anyway without the prize there now.. not needed.

how long has it been since you've been on Graal

3500 people play after school
200, if that, tower
probably 50 roam around PKing
about 30 are sparring at any given time

this incentivizes people to do those things instead of sitting around or roleplaying, or whatever the hell they do

if your counter-argument is "it won't make them do it" then you take away the hat rewards from towers and then tell me how many people are still towering
spoiler: none

Classic confirmed for 22nd

Is this reliable? If so, Baddy Killing should be recognized as well. I only say that because it will be good to have more competitive BKing.  

Havent actually played classic since fatal retired(yrs ago)
I thought that was the point(roleplay etc), according to staff yrs ago... that was one excuse for no actual big content quest etc as it was a 'role play game' almost a social hub.  

you thought it was about roleplaying yet you towered for a hat with zZ FATAL Zz?  

inb4 long-winded argument (not necessarily from him) about how towering used to be "for da luv of da game" and "for da sport"
yeah, no

cringiest and most incorrect justification ever  

Not a problem, just many people play games to have something to aim towards as a motivation if they wish to use it as a motivation.

This [re]addition of reward hats would definitely without a doubt benefit graal PKing, Sparring and BKing in every single way.

lol..
When I played it was about getting 1k as fast as others around us(13th)
then on fb was about getting 1k first(we got 1st)
I personally never used game for roleplay

This doesn't make sense. Before PULSE ever got 1k, people towered for the lederboards not for hats.

"people towered before there were rewards"
well no ****
it wasn't offered to them
how can you miss something that you never had

people towered before there were rewards, but a whole lot more towered after there were rewards
the point is that there were rewards for sparring and PKing that were removed for no good reason at all

apparently it was too much work to give out spar hats (IDK why it was manual), and there was some glitch involving the PK rewards room
Dusty and FP4 are both smart people that have the capability to fix those issues  

Why does everything in Graal eventually need to have a reward? It's unnecessary.

Or because the playerbase got bigger?

I don't see why you think every activity needs an incentive. If sparring gets hats, don't you think baddy killing, afking, rping, and socializing should get hats too?  

look man, can't think of any simpler way to put it: if you think towering would be as active as it is right now if the rewards system was removed, you have some sort of dysfunction going on in the brain area
and I did suggest adding it to PKing and BKing, by even asking that you're proving that you didn't even read into the suggestion thread

it's not a matter of opinion, it's a matter of what would sensibly encourage people to participate in the in-game activities more

In other words, you, Pink and Memo want more hats to show off.  

I only see this thread as Thallen's attempt to get more hats.

He's the same person who awants to be able to take away someone's ability to talk in a guild. Yeah, I'm not surprised.
