PMOG Forum

There seemed to be some suggestions floating about the means by which DP is currently gained by players. As PMOGgers have pointed out...

1) Giving DP for people taking your missions leads to "a**hole lightpost placement," and encourages everybody to be Pathmakers.
2) Using mines, while cathartic, is on the whole unrewarding, as the lost DP do not come back to you.
3) Creating portals is extremely expensive, and there is no DP reward for doing so.

In light of these and other concerns, this thread can be a venue to discuss the DP system, and how it can be more rewarding, no matter your association.

One suggestion that I have is that when a user interacts with an item of one of your top three associations, you are rewarded with DP. This is already the case for pathmakers, but I think it would be more balanced if Vigilantes got 10 DP whenever a St. Nick was activated, Destroyers got 10 DP whenever a mine was tripped, Seers get 10 whenever a portal is taken, etc. This only seems problematic for Benefactors, since they'd be laying crates for free. But they're supposed to be philantropic, so maybe that's it's own reward ;)

Any other suggestions or critiques of this one are entirely welcomed.

I would be also happy to get DP when I post or contribute to the "community".

I feel like I do not have enough options to participate since I am having trouble put light posts up for my missions. I have made 2 and neither have populated and I lost light posts because of it. I don't know what the technical or human glitch is but if posting a mission is not easy anymore then it detracts from participating (I am not enthused to put in work and not see results).

I would like to see new creative ways to earn DP and badges or show accomplishment (like how many people have you meet in real life or given a link they might enjoy privately)?

Hear hear. I'd like to gain a DP bonus for tools successfully used, too. I tend to be always low on mines and have an overabundance of lightposts, for example. Granted I could trade-off in the forums, but I'd rather actively Mogg for my loots. I'm weird like that.
