I would like to propose a reward structure that could preserve the exclusivity of Haunted Cave Depth while making the contest more worthwhile for everyone participating. Instead of relying entirely on the top 50% leaderboard qualification, I suggest introducing a points-based milestone alongside the existing ranking system. For example: - Top 3 teams: 48 hours of Haunted Cave Depth access. - Any team reaching a predetermined points threshold: 24 hours of Haunted Cave Depth access. This means teams that perform exceptionally well still receive the full 48-hour access as their competitive reward, while teams that don't make the top 3 but manage to reach the required points threshold can still earn 24 hours of access through their own performance. I believe this would be a reasonable middle ground. It doesn't make the exclusive cave freely accessible, nor does it take away the competitive advantage of the highest ranking teams. Instead, it gives other participants a realistic target to work towards and ensures that 12 hours of dedicated hunting can still result in something worthwhile, even if RNG doesn't go in their favour. The points threshold can be determined by the staff based on average scores from previous contests to ensure that it remains challenging but achievable. Ultimately, I believe the goal should be to reward competitive performance without making the efforts of everyone outside the qualifying positions feel wasted. +1 if you agree with the suggestion, -1 if you disagree. Feel free to share your own ideas or alternatives as well, since this is open for discussion.
