Previous System Benefits:

  • Rewarded positive player behavior with cosmetic items
  • Offered special honor level five store access
  • Provided exclusive skins and icons through capsules and orbs

Community Concerns:

  • No meaningful incentives for positive behavior
  • Imbalance between punishment and reward systems
  • Honor level two restrictions remain for negative behavior
  • Battle pass XP considered inadequate compensation

Player feedback suggests the new system focuses too heavily on punishment while removing meaningful rewards for positive contributions. The community argues this approach might inadvertently encourage toxic behavior by eliminating positive reinforcement mechanisms that previously helped maintain a healthy gaming environment.
