I think that we should be given bonuses for getting medals in general. What i suggest to do is to give fsp as medal rewards. Like for bronze, a player would get 2 fsp. Silver, a player would get 5 fsp. Gold, 10 fsp. and crystal, 20 fsp.

im not too sure about this idea then it would creat too much fsp in the game and people like the recently terminated character JUSTIN69 would take advantage of it make many many accounts and just log into them every day all while putting them all under one recruiting link giveing many fsp to one char. i would honestly like to see stam per hour gain for medals. or maybe instead of actualy giving the stam gain make it available to be bought as an upgrade that every medal you get you have the ability to get lets say another +5 stam/hour. good idea?

I don't know why anyone would vote no on this. Its great.


Because it would only increase the gap between top players and the rest. Why? Because too many (crystal) medals are impossible to achieve for 99,999% of players w/o stolen cc. Cheers!


I like this idea a lot, but also agree that the reward for crystal should be higher, and there should be a little reward for all medals...escalating as you get a better one...

I like the idea of all having something. My idea would be (for max stam)
bronze +20
silver +35
gold +45
crystal +50

Hi all,

How would you feel about us added a bonus for obtaining crystal medals? We're thinking along the lines of +25 max stamina per crystal medal you have achieved.

What do you think?


First, crystal medals are almost impossible to get with a few exceptions (both medals and people), so it would be nice to come up with boni for all medals, not just crystal.

Second, it would be very nice if the bonus were something money cannot buy - for example some special enhancements. If this was used in conjunction to the proposed suggestion that enhancements are allowed to go over 100% using a new skill, boni from medals could actually work in a similar way. I.e. Bounty Hunter Bronze would add 10% to protection enhancement no matter what the enhancement level and maximum is (so for somebody with protection at 45% it would provide 55%, for somebody with 100% it would provide 110% and for somebody with the limit increased from 100 to 260, it would provide +10%, even to 270).

Some medals could use existing ehnancements, some could add new enhancements.

PvP - +duellist and first strike
hoarder - protect gold, master thief, thief
monthly top - protection
...

Personally I don't like the idea, some of the medals (such as pvp ones) seem to be pretty much fixed in place with a few people through collaboration. It would simply reward being sneaky. Maybe ones that can't be 'fiddled' with would be ok, such as quests completed, bounties completed etc, at least people do something to earn those.

I like the idea of giving the medals some kind of bonus, but they aren't easy to get and therefor i think the achievers deserve a better bonus than just like +25 Max Stamina for a Crystal medal. I also don't think it should only be the Crystal medals, but every medal wich would give a bonus.

An example would be:
Annual Service Bronze, Bonus: +10 Stamina Gain
Annual Service Silver, Bonus: +20 Stamina Gain
Annual Service Gold, Bonus: +30 Stamina Gain
Annual Service Crystal, Bonus: +40 Stamina Gain

Can you imagine being an admin looking at this thread? They are offering something for free. They don't have to. If they never brought it up, we would still play. If you are offered something for free, take it and be quiet.

Tell ya what - everyone who doesn't think it's enough, tell Hoof you'll give it to me. :D

. . .

Bronze: +10 M. stamina
Silver: +15 M. Stamina
Gold: +20 M. Stamina
Crystal: +25 M. Stamina



many have posted options like this and I like it

something for each medal and not overpowering to make others complain

because really how many can achieve a crystal? and it takes a lot just to get any medal

how about:

Bronze: +5 max stamina or ( no bonus since some of the bronze are easy to get ;)
Silver: +10 max stamina
Gold: +15 max stamina
Crystal: +25 max stamina


gooood, goooood idea. me likey!

small incremental rewards for each medal. imagine a lvl1 player, looking out into misty mountains, his mind filled with dreams of chasing after azuk and azeroth.... oh, the thirst for acheivement, the yearning for success... and what does he see, zomgz! teh medalz! teh extra +5 stamz!.

the nubs will love it, heck, even i love it and i'm only slightly nub. the first people who should be rewarded are the nubs, give them an incentive to carry on, and hey, they are! sure, for a high level player, +5 isnt that much... but to be honest, once you get over 200, buy your own damn max stam!

Though they should add +15 max stamina bonus each Annual Service medal you get... Since it really takes a looooooong time to get gold or crystal.

It's still a good idea, as it was all those months ago.

If you want to make it Incremental, then why not mix it up a little? Get a Bronze, +100 RESERVE Stam. Silver +150 RESERVE. Then +25 and +50 Max Stam for Gold and Crystal.

By the time you get your next medal you're likely going to have used the reserve stam from the last one anyway...

It's like getting the medal and a gift basket. Something you can use is always preferable to something you can only look at...

I'll have to go with the majority: Good idea, and expanding it across all medals is even better (starting with small bonuses)

I also like the possibility of a variety of bonus types, possibly keyed to the type of medal.

As an example, I would estimate that the Bronze Adventurer medal costs a player 5,000-10,000 stamina (unless you only hit incidental or exceptionally easy quests and finish it around level 200)

A few hundred reserve stamina would be a very minimal bonus compared to the investment required.

Don't get me wrong - I do like the idea of a bonus/prize/gift basket with medals very much.

Minimal is right, but I think they're just looking for a minimal reward anyway. It's not like they're giving you half your stamina back... it's just a pat on the head. Dessert after finishing your Brussel Sprouts.

I don't think the medals need to be accompanied by gifts or bonuses. The whole "medal" idea came as a result of people whining their accomplishments weren't plastered on their character page. I don't see the point in rewarding someone for doing what they are inclined to do as a result of playing the game. not to mention this thread has been open awhile without action. Lets nex this idea and move on. The only reward I would agree with would be a yearly gift for simply keeping the game alive which keeps us and HCS going.
