Remove season renown cap at 100

I feel there needs to be some reward for players to achieve, once you've reached legend (which in my opinion can be achieved far too easily) what incentive is there to play the game? I know there are milestones and PVP rank, but some of us don't like PVP or are not very good at it, but if we want to show any advancement in the game our only option is to complete PVP battles or other milestones because they are the only active counters that show any progression.

Or maybe they should just decrease the renown earned?
Every so season I see this same post. Something beyond 100 since it so easy to reach it.

Maybe they should make it so you have to 100% complete a Trial to earn 1 lvl of renown? So 100+ Trials and you have to complete them all or some just to reach the end.

@burnbacon You're probably right - reduce the amount of renown earned, but even a reduced amount it's still possible to get to 100 before the end of a season - look at how renown was earned in pre-season 8 - was a lot slower but 100 was still achievable for most players by the end of it, I'm just saying it needs to be open-ended so that it's possible to get more renown for those players that want it.

This is actually a great idea... I wouldn't recommend ancient coins either but yea, why cap us? Gold and doubloons are practically worthless, who cares if we get more gold and doubloon bags after level 100?

Buy this pirate a grog!

In theory it does sound like a great idea. But in practice it means that a player who binged SoT for just one or two Seasons can buy literally every cosmetic there is available for gold and doubloons. This puts more pressure on the Devs to churn out new/reskinned cosmetics at an unsustainable rate, crunching their entire art design and coding departments.

Players would simply run out of stuff to buy too quickly thus forcing insane work hours for the design team and/or a huge increase in gold and doubloons costs for everything just to keep up with a section of players who binge play Seasons and buy everything up like a flock of cosmetic content locusts.

There is actually a pretty logical reason to cap passive gold and doubloon sources.

Nah. A thousand gold coins or 10 doubloons every two or five levels past 100 won't bankrupt the entire economy, especially with former PP cosmetics being reintroduced at expensive prices.

And if you're really scared of that happening, cap the PP at lvl 1000. At a thousand gold every 2 levels, it would only amount to half a million gold for someone reaching lvl 1000 : hardly enough to buy "every cosmetic available", even after multiple seasons (even 1M Gold/season would be very far from what would be needed - the overall cost for all in-game cosmetics is over 150M gold coins).

(or make the PP lvl 100-1000 extension exclusive to the paid PP, as an added incentive)

For me, I'm not driven to get all the cosmetics that the game offers. I have all the ones I want or need (I feel another topic coming on here, improve the management of cosmetics and emotes :-) )

Small amounts of gold are not going to make a huge difference - look at the new Chest of Fortune - 20,000 gold. I don't see everyone rushing to do Forts of Fortune to get them!

If you removed the cap and awarded 20,000 gold for each level above 100 you're not going to get huge amounts of money to buy "all the cosmetics in the game", effectively giving you the same reward as a Chest of Fortune.
