A large handful of individuals across all 3 factions tend to queue this event and just sit in base, receiving the arena debuff timer which does not punish nearly enough. This allows said users to just requeue the instance the next time it is available, and thus no punishment is actually rendered.
While the rewards for joining the instance have been increased already, the rewards for actively participating/helping your team win, are still somewhat lackluster, as the reward disparity is not that large. (A 1600 honor differential between First and Last, also known as one Grimghast/Crimson Rift, or 20 minutes of farming WHM.) To incentivize players to actually participate, and for some to actually queue all together, I propose a buff to actually playing the game:
Placement Rewards: Remain the same. 4000 honor for first, 3000 for second, 2400 for last. Labor rechargers remain the same, and leadership.
Kill Rewards: Here comes actively participating. To spitball, let's say 1 kill grants 3 Kyrios Badges. 1 assist grants 1 Kyrios Badge.
AFK Punishments: Increasing the punishment from the meager 90 minute punishment that is presented currently, make it a 25 hour punishment. This ensures that the person who receives the AFK status cannot queue the next 2 Halcyona instances, which makes it easier for leadership on both factions to lead as they also know their full strength.
