The new update is fantastic but the devs forgot about the potentially awesome rewarding tool which is the Increasing Max Balthazar Faction cap and left the veteran PvP players with significantly increased faction pool with exactly the same every newbie can get. Not exactly how I expected this to work... but..

Now I present the simpliest possible improvement, a way to reward the veteran dedicated PvP players with minimum dev work time needed, without the need of developing a new more elite chest or new drop tables!

Let us exchange faction in single big payments for slightly MORE Zaishen Keys than by buying them 1 by 1! It's just a couple more buttons at Tolkano!

Suggested Rates:

5k Faction -> 1 key (what we got now)
25k Faction -> 6 keys (1 extra key compared to 5 payments of 5k faction)
50k Faction -> 13 keys (1 extra key compared to 2 payments of 25k faction)
75k Faction -> 20 keys (1 extra key compared to separate payments 50k + 25k faction)
100k Faction -> 27 keys (1 extra key compared to 2 payments of 50k faction)

This way it's a worthy reward and would be an incentive to play and increase the cap, a good reason for existance of the whole increasing cap mechanic. And would remove all that clicking to buy keys 1 by 1 which is annoying as hell...

EDIT1: fixed the rates, originally there was an error (1x 100k keys were = 4x 25k keys, I failed at basic maths ;p)

Or they can just make it so they let you buy 5 keys at a time for 25k faction. No need for bonuses. It's just like clicking 100 times buying tournament tokens before...

The problem is that the Max Faction Cap only mattered day 1 of the patch - people with a full pool of 100k faction bought more keys than those with smaller pools. Since that day the whole Increasing Max Faction Cap mechanic is absolutely useless.

Also, if you have an idea for better rates of faction->keys feel free to post here.

though i dont see anyone wanting to save up 50k now instead of just getting 5k and getting a quick key, this does make sense.
