Seems like it would be a wise idea to award 1000 Star Rux items for each Grand Master rank achieved. Either that or 500-1000 Rainbow Stars per Grand Master level.

@shurikeninja wrote:@themightylaymanI don't get it. I agree with you, they're never going to give players who reach grandmaster free stars. Which is why I said what I said. Prolonged grind just like GW2, no need to create new cosmetics that go into the reward-o-tron, and 500k isn't very grindy. You're also not forced to play modes you don't like.One thing is CERTAIN, we will not get this grand master reward (or any other), if the devs don’t know we’re unhappy with the current setup.I don’t know whether you saw but the 2nd Rainbow Stars Gift (300 star gift) was likely a direct result of this thread: https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Another-Round-of-Bulbs-PLEASE/m-p/8414344#M7154I encourage you to give the devs and EA staff a little more credit. Though we often disagree with their decisions, we can be heard as a collective voice when the likes and me too’s climb high enough. 👍😊In this instance, hearing our collective opinion (and implementing a reward) would actually benefit devs and gamers alike by extending the play time of those of us who like to max rank characters: https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Grand-Master-of-wasting-time/m-p/8480628#M8382

@spIash_damage Yes, please! It really does seem bizarre that there is no incentive or reward for achieving these new higher ranks.

@chogath_player The rainbow stars shouldn't cost that much to begin with. Why would I spend 10 dollars on one character skin? Now THATS a bit much! This would also take an extreme amount of grinding.I really don't know why some people are opposing this. Have people forgotten that it was very much so possible to unlock everything in GW 1/2 for free by just playing the game the way they wanted to?

@spIash_damage They need to do something soon. Heck I’d be happy with 100 rainbow stars. Matchmaking needs to get sorted out soon. I feel bad for the new guys.

@spIash_damage ...it's faintly ludicrous that after working 5 rounds of Grand Master XP there's just a void between that and Master rank...no hidden ability/upgrade, stars or coins...just a digital slap round the chops...I achieved the rank with one character to see what would happen and all I got was thin air...a total ruse if you ask me...MM

Do you receive coins for each level up even after grandmaster?

@spIash_damage that would be a free $15 worth of stars though. why would I spend any money on rainbow stars if I could just level up and get everything. I'm pretty sure popcap is aiming to profit off of Rux 500-1000 stars for free is a but much.

@spIash_damage Nah. Just add a weekly 500,000 coins = 200 Rainbow Star deal. I'm sure Popcap wouldn't mind adding that. 800 free rainbow stars a month is a fair compromise.

@shurikeninjaPopcap/EA is never gonna take money off the table to give players who achieve grandmaster. This thinking is ludicrous to the extreme.

@brady3176I agree. I don't get why they are doing this. The old system was much better. I feel like they saw other games profiting off charging players for skins and emotes (kinda like fortnight). It doesn't really work because we already paid for the game. Fortnight is free. It's actually $15 for the legendary skins over here where I am which is waaaayyy too much. I doubt popcap will rework this system tho. they want to make money off of rux for sure. giving players too much stars will kill the incentive to pay up actual money.
Honestly I wouldn't mind if they reworked everything regarding unlocks and money. Id be fine with them closing down the game fully for a while if they wanted to rework the game 😛

Some kind of reward would be nice, grandmaster 5 just discourages you to play your favourite character because you know you can't gain lvls while playing them.
