Player A with his toons zones into BG. So does player B with his toons. Both agree that player A kills player B and in the next run player A let him get killed by player B. Rinse repeat. Easy mode BG coins for raid quality loot and now easy mode XP too? The method is cooperative for sure but competive?

So let's get this right. The game design should revolved around the playstyle of just a handful of people? Everyone should suffer abysmal AA because it's been tuned to the AA gains of Jackhole A & Jackhole B?

For that matter, it's not hard to deny rewards under clearly-abusive conditions, while still allowing genuine competitve play to be rewarded.

I would certainly like to see gains leveled out across all playstyles.

I can count on one finger the number of AA I gained while raiding in Sentinel's Fate. Actually, I really only need half of the finger.

What would be nice would be to tie AAs into the achievement system. Open up all the exploration locations on a map, +1 Bonus AA (in addition ot the normaly gained exploration AA given). Complete all the qusts in a given quest chain, another +1 bonus AA. Complete a collections chain, +1 bonus AA. Kill all the named in a given zone, +1 bonus AA.

Seems like it would be a good solution to the AA grind.
