Okay I don't see the option to add a poll, that's okay this might be better to keep the thread going.
So CG adds 1 GA event per month from 2 to 3, and cuts the rewards in less than half.
Here is the poll, just reply with which option # below you would prefer they implement going forward:
POLL
(reply with option # you prefer)
1. I prefer 3 GA events per month with these reduced rewards
2. I prefer 2 GA events/month with the old rewards
3. I prefer 3 events/mth with a compromise on the rewards in between the old and new
4. I prefer 3 events/mth and think they should have left the rewards alone. (Keep in mind option 4 is not likely to happen given the extreme nerf they imposed).
For option 3, I would like to see: 1st - 2 Zeta (downgrade from 3), 2Omega, 35 gear salvage. 2nd - 1 Zeta, 1 Omega, 25 gear salvage. 3rd - 3Omega, 17 gear salvage. 4th 2Omega, 10 gear salvage. To me this is a reasonable compromise, unlike what they did.
Add it up CG. For 1st place, 2 GA events/mth x 3 Zeta = 6 Zeta. 3GA events x 2 Zeta = 6 Zeta. Was that hard? How the hell did we end up with ZERO Zeta seriously?
Gear numbers: 1st place 2GA events/mth = 100. Now 3GA events 1st = 70? Why? Why not closer to 100 like I proposed 105?

That said, these rewards are a joke. HALF a gear piece for proving yourself in CG's 'ultimate' PvP mode? I don't see why they had to nerf the gear rewards - God forbid we get *up to* an extra one piece of gear per month. Clearly that would throw off the balance of the game so much it'd become literally unplayable.

iirc the ones with ships don't give zetas. for deets see #5 above
Ah, hopefully the Zetas will be back then, likely less than before, hopefully not less than what I proposed for option 3.
Still don't understand the gear nerf neither, if we go from 2 events to 3, why not have them add up to a similar total like we had before, like for 1st 100, why 70 now, dam nerfs
The fact that its ships and we have gotten ship omegas when there is ships instead of zetas is being ignored.
But omegas vs zetas is not a new thing, yeah.
Word
I am recalling this now, but really wonder why they give us alternating Omega vs Zeta, the Omega really has my incentive to put in effort in down combined with the lower gear amounts. They should just make it Zeta with an Omega here or there like my option 3 proposal, as many have said it is the ultimate test of a player, the Omega rewards are very underwhelming to me anyway
GA events without ships reward zeta mats, whereas GA events with ships reward ship omegas and prestige. It's been like this since I was able to participate in GA. I don't recall that anything has been nerfed.
As for the nerf, it seems to be mostly the gear, it went from 50 pieces to 25
Sorry, you're right. It's regular omegas and ship omegas. Everyone gets the ship omegas though, which is why I remembered them I guess. The list of rewards is a bit confusing. Last place only gets those, while 1-7 get both omega types.
