That's all pretty heavily irrelevant. The whole point of the post you're responding to is to focus.

Fewer PKers + Increased Incentives to Rank = Less QPs to Go Around via PK

That's the problem statement. I'd start another thread about the virtues of smobbing for master.

Pros, to many people needing scalps for to little rewards currently. New updates towards rank 8 bonus's furthers this need to up scalp awards again. This is honestly all a player base thing. Or should I say lack there of. Less players=equals less opportunities for pk and scalps in general. Thus you add on new rewards and qps to meet. You have more players willing to take a scalp. This is all not good for the current system. We need to go back to 3/5/7 to balance this out.

Cons, the elite/good pkers will master easily. It's never not been the case though...so is this really a con? I honestly would rather see the people that can't get there as easy have a better chance. We know the people who regularly pk will get there somehow or another. Mastering in general in it's current setup and bonus's is a utter joke. But that being said this is a balance issue for to little pk/players compared to rewards. That being said all said in the cons section is in essence null.

Summary it's a much needed change to re up qp's awards again, especially nowadays via low numbers and higher qps based rewards.

Think you missed my first sentence of my response Vaen, my opinion is: focusing in too much you might miss the whole picture.

I don't know why LS ever had high scalp rewards in the first place. Get a thousand at 0,1,2.

Has anyone ever been 0/1/2? Because when bonus zones were around it sure wasn't even close to that for fades.

It has been 0-1-2 since forever. I dont really remember much about bonus zones and if you count in rips and replacing cloaks and so on, I probably racked in 8k of those qps-buggers.

I think about 12 of them were from RP (once I got 10 for writing an elaborate DS quest, and I once got 2 for trying to rescue a trollloc out of a hopeless situation in Ij-patty vs like 10 humans..)

It's 0/1/3... Pretty sure while bonus zones were active for a time, it was something like Shienar/Saldaea/Tar Valon for fades, and it was 5 qps per head or something close

I can't be expected to remember! Anyways, I always thought LS qps were too high back in the day.
