What you fail to realize is that trammies will be happy only with trammel. That's why they call 'em trammies.
The points you suggested would do nothing, there would still be tears all over the place. People are just too entitled

how is gettin faction smaller being bad?
every red eqms is in faction so they can't be cut in town and by factioners, isn't this trammy?
how is forcing everyone go to minax a good thing? everyone has a minax guild to abuse the sigils....

I'm not saying it's bad, i'm saying people would cry anyways. I'm 100% sure

I feel like it's an issue that will never be resolved to be honest. Alot of the PvM only (or trammy) players simply don't have the right mindset.
I think really the best the server can do is just lessen the potency of the 'PK Crisis'.
Maybe something as simple as:
- Give some kind of Bounty Hunter tokens whenever you kill or turn in a red's head.
- Not allowing people to join a faction, if the faction is too large in comparison to the rest
- allowing players to cut faction corpses
- Gain a PVM buff if a blue kills a red. (This I think you could have some fun with).
To knock out a few birds with one stone. This could incorporate some of the ideas @tankian had on his post, as well as please all the fanboys of Egor.
After a blue turns in the head of a red player, gain a 1 hour buff. ' Essence of Egor'. +5 defense vs Monsters, +10% gold from monsters, +2% chance of getting an additional magic item from monsters.

OT:
Turn off red PVP. Everyone on this server is complaining about reds. Just abolish the "murderer" title overall and make only faction PVP a thing. Tram it the fuck up.

we have the valor board that was never finished... u should be able to use these points in some way...
i am 100% the only real person that after 2 year statted 500pks (just did it few days ago)... and i didn't even get the world first because someone surely macroed it loooong ago.

A lot of good ideas are ruined because of exploitative tactics like that. However, murder points prevent macroing abuse although that system was never completed. The punkte score system works the same for factioners.

Just give EQMS our own faction and allow us to control who can and cannot join.... problem solved.

im the most pk killer there ever was if u look at the valor board and i always statted people
even before they reset the valor board i was always n.1 (cristina luv was n.2)
it's nearly impossible someone did it before me without macroing his own pks... do u know how many are 500 pks?

yea yea, don't start with the ego shit lmao, I stand by what I've said. OT as fuck, recommence chat about the pk crisis - AKA Blues being ego fiends.

Good points. Don't you all think that a Punkte Score type system would help prevent exploits? Like I said in the original post, using a punkte score type system would mean that the amount of work a player achieves would directly impact the bonuses received. This could be used to prevent leechers from benefiting from the work of others.
@steve-o @Vorax
Vorax is correct, when I first started playing again me and @Inflames exclusively hunted reds, after 3-4 weeks I had 80-100 on multiple accounts (that got reset more than once) and inflames got the server first Bounty Hunter title. This wouldve been Nov/Dec 2014 that he got it.
He did not macro a single kill, and if you knew him at all you would know it is just something he would never do.
He also got his kills reset more than once, and still got it. Back then you could stat 10 reds in an hour sometimes. Now there is noone farming, and no pks running at all.

Bradley probably did, but Inflames was the first.
No thoughts on incentivizing PvP other than those I have stated previously
3v3-5v5 field fight tournys on a somewhat set schedule. with standings / prizes w.e I have posted about that many times and it always got flammed off the forums. Aside from that you will not see anyone trying to form a new group.
Shane has said he will not do tournys on a schedule though so people do not just log in solely for the tourny, I guess he would rather people not log in at all. Nevermind the fact that once crews are on things would happen after the matches.

I'm all for the tourneys and stuff. There are a lot of players that love 7x, 5x, CTF, etc. Scoreboards for anything are cool in my book as long as exploitative macro'ing doesn't ruin it. I think the murder point system would solve it for the PK board.
I have one idea for a murder board revamp. Have one board for overall kills and another board for weekly kills. The board for weekly kills would be fun to watch. It would incentivize solo PK'ing and show who can stay alive long enough to really rack up the kills.

I think the problem is with the players and not the templates. Why not have a second account with a PVP char (or some friends) ready to port in if you get jumped?
Ever tried jumping $ in shame 5? Better GTFO fast because before you know it they turned the lvl 4 to lvl 5 teleporter in to a mini zoo.
