Why are GA rewards "bad?"

Been said before but think adding more incentive to play/place 2-3 would be appreciated not just lumping 2-7 in 2 buckets of awards.

@Maxx121312 no they can’t do that because the ranks are randomized within the same win rate, so u cant work towards it.

There should be more rewards for a fricking week long event. Anything other than 1st place is really meh for the effort.

The rewards tables need to be higher for the ability mats & gear, and should be graduated based on the GP tier of the group, the Items like Zetas or Omegas are about right. But with the time investment for this mode they should pay out for a much higher rate for the other items.

But knowing how CG usually works, this is unfortunately going to go down with the increase in GA frequency, so more effort to get the same rewards that we get now. So now it'll take 3 events to get the rewards that we now get from two.

My hope is that the rewards per event will go down, but will go up per month. So you'll get less for each individual win, but more over a full month if you win 3 times. Guess we'll see.

So less reward per hour spent. Doesn't sound so promising when you look at it that way.

The biggest problem is that I have to dedicate several hours to GA and I get up to 50 of one salvage (but that isn't guaranteed) I dedicate similar amounts of times in other game modes (TB, TW, Raids) and I get more drops. That being said, I'm not crying my face off about not having all the rewards I want. It'd be nice if it also had a random loot box that could drop 25 of any high need salvage, no matter what place you are in.

I said other, because while I am totally content with the rewards, I think that the rewards should be slightly increased with each GP bracket. The larger the GP, the lesser the gear rewards appear. 1 full carbanti for a 1.5mil GP vs 1 full carbanti for someone at 4mil GP is very different.

Also anyone who joins GA and then doesn't set defenses for all 3 rounds (1 round, ok you forgot, move on, set your defenses, 2 rounds is like really??, and then 3 rounds means you literally didn't play the game mode) should not get any of the final rewards.

Everybody complains (in my opinion, and by ‘everybody’, I suppose I mean the vocal minority we see on the forums), because the event takes a week. They forget that the first day takes 1 second, days 2, 4, and 6 might take ten minutes each (and that is if you take the time to look in-depth at your your opponent and haven’t saved your most common defensive and offensive squad set ups).
The battle days of 3, 5, and 7 might take a little bit longer (but not very much, it’s usually just a matter of who guessed the right hard counters to keep for offense), but those battles usually go fairly fast, because instead of grueling mirror matches, it is mostly rock/paper/scissors.

So all told, while it takes a week to get, you really aren’t playing for much more than, (if even) an hour. I think the top end rewards are fine for that. And if you aren’t earning those yet (I haven’t - usually 2 and 1, and I went 1 and 2 in the last one), that should be your incentive to refine your inventory and work towards it.

I am quite happy with the rewards. The gear is very helpful along with the mod slicing materials. The only thing I would consider changing is the omega reward instead of zetas that has shown up in a couple GAs. I'm okay with getting omegas, but I would consider 3 omegas to be of the same value as 3 zetas. I would love to see some of each in the rewards, even if it was something like 2 zetas and 5 omegas for first place. Overall, I am happy with where they are, but unlike some of the people complaining about the rewards, I enjoy GA.

I voted "Other" because Batman is the greatest Avenger.

I meant to vote the other way round - more gear, ability mats are generally fine (though I'm not a fan of the '3 omegas' 1st prize for 3v3)

Isn't the rank of those with same number of wins based on points?
