This thread is a copy paste of a reply I made back on the old forum, on a thread about helping SuperMechs improve. You can find the original post here, at least until the old forum dies. I've gone back through the post and believe all the ideas have stood the test of time, so I'm reposting it here. Thanks in advance for reading.

In my opinion, one of the best ways to improve the player experience while increasing retention and revenue is to greatly increase the reward for top clans and players. Below I’ll elaborate a list of changes that will provide incentive for everyone to keep playing and paying. First off and most importantly, provide the top 6 clans with rewards instead of the top 3. It’s always baffled me that the top 6 clans get recognized in game but only the top 3 get rewarded. Increased reward range to top 6 offer huge incentive for a wide variety of clans (which encapsulate a larger margin of the p2w playerbase) to play and spend more to get better at the game.

Top 3 clan rewards changed to the following:
1st - 3 Epic Power kits and 5 Premium boxes ( + Gold Clan Medal) 2nd - 3 Epic Power kits and 4 Premium boxes ( + Silver Clan Medal) 3rd - 3 Epic Power kits and 3 Premium boxes ( + Bronze Clan Medal) 4th, 5th, and 6th placed clan rewards get added as follows:
4th - 2 Epic Power kits and 2 Premium boxes 5th - 2 Epic Power kits and 1 Premium box 6th - 1 Epic Power kit and 1 Premium box This offers at least some incentive for lower ranked clans to grind their way up and have a chance at some rewards, as opposed to getting top 6 for nothing. I’d also like to see increased rewards for the top 3 players, as the gold rewards seem a little low given how much gold it actually takes to upgrade items. Top 10 players rewards are also added as follows.

Top 3 player rewards changed to the following:
1st - 5,000,000 Gold ( + Gold Solo Medal) 2nd - 2,500,000 Gold ( + Silver Solo Medal) 3rd - 1,500,000 Gold ( + Bronze Solo Medal) 4th through 10th player rewards get added as follows:
4th and 5th - 1,000,000 Gold 6th through 10th - 500,000 Gold It’s really that simple. I’ve come across a lot of players who are in this position of ‘good, but not great’ and have diminishing incentive to play the game. It’s somewhat depressing watching their efforts go to waste without any reward, and no chance to break into the top 3 clans/players. You don’t even have to increase the drop rates for these rewards to provide a huge incentive, although I’m sure we’d all appreciate it if a ‘% chance of a L-M item not currently in inventory’ feature was added. Just my 2 cents.

Got nothing better to do so thought I'd give some pointers. Overall not a bad design, but it's rather inconsistent even when built and played optimally. There's many different variants to try, but this one below is one of the better ones.
A few points I'd like to make if you're going to try these, firstly to use Rock Recoiler over Dark Eagle. Recoiler just works much better against heat huggers and can provide some decent damage at range 1. Secondly if you're going to use a second utility, I'd recommend grapple over superb charge. Mainly because you'll find your back against the wall often with this mech architype, and being able to grapple from said position is a great next turn threat to either repulser + scope if the opponent jumps back or teleport + scope if the opponent doesn't move. 
Just want to reiterate that this design isn't the end all be all for phys scopes, it's just a decent one. You don't necessary need double teleport or energy fortress, but in some situations they help. Single teleport is obviously a must, however.

Hi Pilots
How are you?
I am fine but really tired today. Terrible week at work but finally is over for few hours till tomorrow morning. 🥶
There is no much to say this time just only the general status for this week. 
OKI like his little brother O.D. FARM it is been under saving gold mode in order I can start to max out a bunch of myth parts around then to save again and start to make new ones. The gave keep morphing and I have been building parts as general needs to many combos for all 3 types as basic building blocks to be able to make different combos when I need and have desire to play with for fun regardless rank results. 
Let see what I have...
Gold reserve it is been increasing like O.D. FARM close to each other rate. Gold reserves increased to 93millions and it is OKI max record on savings. Tokens still on reserve for weapons deals if are attractive for the account. 
The account it is not been growing as mentioned previously instead enhancing power and saving gold. Low pvp is been bad to progress faster but it is the best I can do with my busy life. Anyway, like in OD. FARM I am happy to see the gold stash growing making me feel like rich person. Just a bit selfish not making parts except the general basic of making some legends from epics for the future myth parts and consuming some epics to open space. 
The game plan is to save gold for another week or till reach 100mill as O.D. FARM and then craft 8K power kits and max out myth parts around. 

I was really luck this week opening a Fortune Box. Never expected but both parts I was hoping to get. Even account is not been growing on weapons this grant was in need so I will say the account grew a bit this week and I am happy with both parts.

I think this was Rank Box reward. I really do not remember.

CHEER

WOW. Fortune Box
Both Items wanted. 🙃👍

1st bunker 😱

Well, I can say I am good on it and maybe the only thing I am good on. 🤣 Thx. Yeah, I have to go to the dentist and maybe to the specialist. Sad. Right now anything cold or heat is bad. need to be body temperature to avoid pain.🙃 Don't get old. Trust me. 🤡
Correct, I remember you are one of the top grinder around too and it has been your progress. I know some top players do not grind that much but look at you even with disadvantage if compare with the other top players you are kicking butts every season in particular my own butts. 🤣 Keep grinding and save real money. Save gold and use base for possibilities. 
Yeah, my progress in the game it is base on grinding not the sales. People who do not grind it is costly in the long and short run. My accounts are weak but I am building the foundation for the long run and raw power is getting much stronger even I do not make set ups for real combat but making what does require for it. I just make parts since I know I can't play that much but when I have time then I go for the top.  Right now I am focus in R3 basic not having time but when I have time to get focus in the fight then I get the R1 with low wins. This time I focused just in OKI for R1 and then moved down to lower rank to test parts under development as normally I do. 👍
I feel fine with the solid progress. This account it does have a lot of limitations but I do like. 
Thx bro. Keep doing your great work. I want to see some more medals in your account as solo medals. Great job. 👍
Oh, I hope you guys take good care for SIN. He rally did a great job in our clan. Great leader. He sacrificed a lot for the entire clan and was top grinder, war, and titan player no misses. He kept alive the clan with a lot of hard work. He is a player with an account with limitations but it is an awesome player been a fast R1 with all his limitations and tons of times been at TOP 1-3 position. Take good care of him. My best wish for him. I own a lot to him and his support.

Sorry to hear about your molar, wishing you a speedy recovery OKI! This game can't afford to lose the master of grinding 😅
Excellent work with the accounts as per usual. Also continuing to grind OD6 insane here, even if it's against the pleas of some teammates lol. Can't argue with the results!

Hi Pilots
How are you? I am ok but sadly I broke one molar yester night with a bone. Not fun.  Might have to be remove I guess. 🤦‍♂️ That is what happen when you are old and no longer know how to eat properly.😬
Ok, back to O.D FARM update
I was able to max some items I had with some levels with some power kits on reserve and mix boxes. My focus is to keep saving gold for another week to reach 90 millions and then will craft some power kits and max remaining myth parts around that I might be interested to fully max according game and few that maybe max just to not see them incomplete. Not sure at this point because will be all base on gold reserve interest at the moment. Later after finish to max those parts maybe in 2 weeks due to I will be saving till next Sunday then craft and save again, I will start to make new myth parts from current legend stash from parts I might need. Will see.
Gold it is increasing and already moved to 87 millions. This is the highest gold reserve ever I had. Tokens are under reserve for future weapons sales if we have them and if are good for my account. 
I was not playing much and passing days without play between seasons and I still in the 5 wins base due to work things going on this moment in my life. No matter what I still playing some as I can. I need pvp because I need the gold to max parts and doing pvp help a lot.
OKI and O.D. are back with CANDELA INC CLAN. Back to family. They still want me in the clan regardless I am terrible in wins in particular for that great clan. I want to thank them for their support all of this time and their care for me. I am not ungrateful and I recognize their help doing so much and me too little. 
 
Gold and tokens reserves. Gold is growing and I like that. It will drop a lot but it is cool to see that number. 

Parts maxed. Some parts are for future mechs and some are to help on titan or raid. In reality I can get in to tier 6 in the majority of the raid but not all because I haven't develop parts for it so far and of course I am way behind on those. Well, gold is limited and takes time for this young account. 

Rank box. I was not playing for rank but reached full stars R2 but can't play much and lots of interruption out of pvp focus. Oh well...can't do anything about it. Happy at list I was able to get a relic. 

 
CHEERS

2v2 hard is great for fortune boxes for lucky accounts granting them. I recommend 2v2 hard if you are lucking for lucky legend grant. My accounts are terrible to get them and no just are bad to get them but also the mix boxes drop it is really bad with many empty grants. I play OD6 because the drop for mix boxes it is good in my accounts  and I need them to max weapons.  Also, for my way of play due of lack of time it does work better clicking for fast grind when too busy at work without interrupt work. 
It is about choices and time availability. If no rush to get L250 and good FB drop then go better for 2v2 hard. You might lucky and if you check videos you can see some guys with a hell of luck.
