My suggestion is basically about encouraging people to try out more and different MA arcs. Today there is a button to get a random mission. I would like to add a "leap of faith" option:
* Will give a random arc, with the probability slanted towards arcs with low number of ratings, or no ratings at all of course
* Ratings are not shown
* Will give an extra reward if the arc is completed and rated, possibly a partial reward if only rated. Arcs with more missions would give slightly better rewards for actually completed missions.
* The extra reward will only be given if the arc is chosen this way and extra XP should be an option for the reward here.
It is not a perfect system - people can always ask others to search for the same arc and see what the ratings are. But I think in the end that approach may be too time consuming in order to get an arc with decent ratings and get extra rewards.
If you could modify the parameters for your 'Leap of Faith', say going for a higher rated arc or a certain genre or level or whatever, I'd be up for this.
