Meh, I worded that badly.

I don't mind removing the top 3 bonus from SPS as well.
My point was to not have the full SPS rewards if there are less than 10 guilds in tier 5 because I don't think that's needed.

So in short - no more top 3 bonus, full crowns&merits even if there are less than 10 guilds in a fray, SPS still lowered if not a full 10 guild tier 5.

Sorry for the confusion, English gets hard when we are going into the finer details.

Sorry I think that you missunderstand.
As far as I understand the reward reduction is ONLY active for SPS.
I think that crowns and merrits aren't affected from the reward reduction. Maybe @crytomancer could make it really clear who it works.

The amount of Crowns&Merits earned depends on the number of guilds in the fray or more exactly, it depends on the number of battles played.
So if there are 100 battles played for example there are twice as many Crowns awarded than if there were only 50 battles.
That and only that is why we are still in tier 4. The SPS rewards are already higher in tier 5 as is - making a change to that won't move a single guild to tier 5. We don't care for increasing the SPS rewards if the guild still earns less Crowns than in tier 4.
What we need to fix is the reduction of Crowns&Merits if there are less than 10 guilds in tier 5 - only that will make tier 5 happen.

Also tagging @davemccoy and @clayboyn for this.
It seems like it's not really clear what this proposal would and would not actually do if it was implemented.

Difference will be even more as only player who take at least one point will contribute crowns to the pot, so in a brawl with 2 guilds 50% of the player hasn't take a point and will not contribute to the pot - IMO what a stupid rule
