- Proposal
- Look over and change Mercenary prestige experience rates and rewards for convoys and allow hired sentinals to receive said rewards also if also following same flagged and GCW requirements as stated on wiki.
Look over and change resource requirements for crafting convoy crates as a master crafter to be worth the time of the resources gathered/value of same said resources used for crafting to market broker sale prices.
- Justification
- Makes convoys an actual viable method to get mercenary prestige experience
Fair payouts and rewards for Sentinals doing the same activity with same risks. Also Hired protection sounds like something a mercenary would be hired for...
Encourage crafters to actually use the system in place for them to participate in GCW convoys and make "some" credits
- Motivation
- Bad experience is bad experience! Take it as you will.
Convoys could be more active and enticing to players. also encouraging more action for interceptors in turn also making more open world pvp accessible.
Crafting convoy crates isnt even worth trying to do at its current state and havent even seen a crafter attempt it since its release as of yet.
Running convoys whilst helping losing faction as a neutral spec forces provides a very low experience rate for Mercenary Prestige experience compared to other PVE methods e.g invasion crafting defensive/offensive structures or even killing a single NPC during the invasion.
Example: 4 cargo convoy on a 5 speed bike to the next city over will grant 40 Merc prestige experience 20-50 mins a run
whilst other methods take a fraction of the time and effort for a much higher rate.
Along with the above low rates for the convoy driver - Sentinals hired do not receive any Mercenary prestige experience or tokens for participating in the convoy as a "hired protection"
Crafting costs of any of the cargo to sell to market brokers seems extremely high considering the crafting components for any of these crafts require hand sampled resources (that youre forced to afk farm for) at the costs of thousands of units for a single craft? - The resources themselves before crafting are more valuable than the actual crafts you would sell to the market broker.
