Weighting time-invested too heavily woulddiscourage players from joining in late, and often if a Keep raid's taking a while you *need* players to show up late, to replace people you've lost or reinforce your effort. What I think is a real shame is that there's no reward for keep defenders.0 I like the token idea, but it’s similar enough in theory to the existing renown system that I doubt they’d implement it. :/

That would leave them a very deserving gold-bagged chicken. One thing I have noticed is (in PQs) too-high level characters seem to be hobbled in earning contribution. With my WP I can heal/tank/whatever in low-level PQs but I am never near the top in contribution even if Im doing practically 95% of the damage and 95% of the healing. Not saying the system is as good as it can be but they do get some things right.

It would be nice if Mythic would at least explain how exactly the system works. Even in beta I couldn’t figure out the system.
