[quote]Yay!!! Participation rewards!!![/quote] The goal is to increase the trials population. Winners still get powerful rewards and tons of tokens to gear up. Currently there is little benefit to participate in trials if a team doesn't win often. This causes players to abandon the playlist and the remaining player base suffers. Giving a few tokens that eventually award a softcap level item could motivate more people to queue up in trials without reducing the value of winning. More players is better for everyone.
