    Please make the rivalry rewards worth less by increasing the reward for finishing a board similar to how individual quests increase in worth the higher board you get to. This would encourage guilds to keep up the push throughout the entire rivalry by making the bonus for placing feel like less of a necessity. It is still worth placing in the top 3, but also should help guilds not give up when they get poorly matched against a guild that is out of their league.

    Ex. Rather than 12000 token for a reward for finishing board 2, make it 1.25x12000=15000. For board 3 = 18000, board 4 = 24000, board 5 = 27000-30000. Or scale it to where finishing board 5 gives you 42000 just like taking first place in your rivalry.

    It's a really good suggestion... so many issues with rivalry matchup algorithms that can be manipulated and lackluster end-of-rivalry rewards (unless you are 1-2) that a focus on questing would bring a guild together more.

    Right now I'm seeing a big drop-off in participation in later boards because the quest rewards are barely worth it, but making them worth more, similar to the trophy fix, would make guilds active until the end. For example, right now you get 1000 tokens for completing a board 1 quest and 1750 tokens for completing a board 4 quest, which is 27x as difficult. It makes no sense. Increase the individual quest rewards appropriately, and no one will care about rivalries... guilds are a nicely implemented concept, but rivalries are just not well thought out, and even worse than before.

    It doesn't seem worth it to finish board 4 or 5 if you're in last place and it would cost you a bunch of time/effort to finish a board only to get 12k tokens.

    Agreed.

    Also would be nice if the quests themselves scaled up more as they progress through the board levels. 1750 for a Very Hard quest that's like a gazillion points, is hardly worth it.

    Ever since they changed the guild matching algorithm our guild matchups have been unbalanced. The above-mentioned increases to board and quest rewards could really help bring back the guild member engagement - which has suffered a lot in my guild since we no longer have a realistic chance of getting a first-place finish. They can increase the rivalry awards too to keep the balance if needed.
