Just like the tile says, how about introducing a reaper chest that accumulates value the longer it's in your position.
As soon as a player picks it up it activates and starts accumulating value. It's marked on the map but like a normal reaper mark but with a level to show the current value.
Once activated it doesn't reset (there could be some kind of cap) and the players can literally fight over the chest the entire day until someone sells it.
I don't really see players give much attention to reaper chest anymore. It would be nice to do something to bring it back a bit.
Value accumulating Reaper Chest
As it is people don't seem to care much about reaper chests. Not that they will ever listen but
- Remove doubloons from the game, convert everyones doubloons to gold since that's what we use them for 90% of the time anyway, all doubloon items in the shops can easily be changed to gold purchases
- Make the reaper chest worth 10k gold
- Make the reaper bounty worth 20k gold
I had one more suggestion but if they actually listened it would mean I have to do content I no longer wish to grind so I will hold my tongue in the off chance they like the idea lol.
They intended for reaper chests to be a beacon on your ship that you world holding cargo of value and you were meant to fight over it. As such if the server is dying or has less than a certain number of ships reaper chests no longer spawn in shipwrecks. Because they were meant to be fought over and a dying server means less potential people to come fight you over the chest. The reality is they only functioned like these when first added to the game. Now with the emissary system people just server hop looking for emissaries to hunt down. Most people ignored the shipwreck reaper chests. I only go to them if I see one close and just because its a beacon to the shipwreck for milestones not for the chest itself as I have finished my commendations. Only being able to sell them to reapers if I am not working on reapers makes them useless. I am not going to sail out of my way for such minimal gold. Not sure I would even sail to sell them if they were worth 50k honestly but I know some people especially newer players could certainly use the gold so that's why I suggest increasing the value for them at least.
The suggestion isn't a bad one and while I don't think Rare usually looks at alliance servers when the make decisions on stuff this would be very exploitable on those since you would just stack the chests and wait for them to reach max value before cashing in big. Those servers already have enough of a rep and gold boost as it is in terms of how efficiently they can level and grind all things PvE
