Heroic (and Villainous) social distancing with rewards.

With all the Corona related drama going on, it can be a great time to log on, don your favourite tights, and run around as a super powered pixel. I was just reading in the Help chat, about some person who logged in for the first time in 2 weeks, being unable to find a team. They had been dealing with kids and isolation and stuff, and were a bit sad they could not get some team mates.

Now I know we already have double xp, but I was thinking something a bit more..like 2.5 xp, of increased salvage/recipe drop rates, increased merits for Story Arcs, above and beyond what we have now. The highest bonus would be if you were solo (since a lot of people may be super busy in peak times, due to extra family demands from the crisis), decreasing up to say..4 people on a team. DFB would see no improvement (since its for big teams anyway), nor would 40+(maybe?) content, or AE. This would help people who just jump on for a few mins here and there.

Honestly having increased rewards for story arcs in general might help make them more appealing across the board as there's some great missions that often get neglected because reward vs. effort.

Good idea, although I don't see how the "higher rewards for soloing" change would help the "sad that they were unable to find a team" problem.  Might need further refinement.   😉

Blizzard implemented double XP for WoW during the enforced isolation; I don't think that it's necessary to encourage play here.
