Moar Merits!

Quick little idea I had, that I see no downside on really.

Have every accolade that doesn't have a power associated with it, grant 2-5 Merits. Heck, maybe even the ones that do have powers.

Theoretically it's even possible to come up with a formula to figure out roughly how long it would take to get each accolade and use the time formula for a one time award, like a story arc. That's not needed though.

Just a nice little bump that turns those empty Accolades into something more than Just Another Badge.

Indeed.

You know, I was trying to come up with an argument against this, mostly trying to figure out if it could be exploited, but I think that since any of the accolades you can get take a decent amount of time to get, that this wouldn't be a problem.

However, I would say that it shouldn't be tied to each Accolade that doesn't have a power associated with it. Ones I would leave out: V.I.P., Pocket D VIP Member. Mostly, because those can be gained just from logging in. Although, I guess those could count as accolades with powers, but I just wanted to highlight two that I thought would be problematic.


Also, with the recent changes to some of the villain accolade badge requirements, would this be fairly even from CoH to CoV in terms of ease of acquiring?

Ooohhhh,

Starts calculating the amount of merits I would gain. Starts drooling. Yes please. Do Dayjob accolades work as well?

If you can't find a downside, then it isn't adequately thought out.

Which is why I posted it for discussion. I don't fear disagreements in this forum, and I seek to make my idea better through collaboration. I'm a smart guy, but I don't pretend to think of everything all the time.

All that being said, do you have anything constructive to contribute?
