Is increasing the reward the right way to go about it?
I agree: after going through the most challenging level type in the arcade and only getting 2 boxes I feel a little cheated.
I disagree: moar loot boxes = the answer

Maybe something special instead? How about this: all of the mineral piles in T3 compound levels are Shiny? THAT would make people actively *want* to do compounds.
Or how about: there's a giant swirling heat pile at the end of the compound level? People who want to heat gear will do more compounds.
This is a weird one: at the end of the compound there are two elevators, and one lets your party leapfrog the next depth.

Not saying these are the best ideas, not saying they're practical for OOO to implement, not even saying I want to see them happen.
But they are unique.

Those coins at the end of the level in front of the exit?
Make those prize boxes.

Would put compounds more on-par with clockwork tunnels. Maybe add some sort of danger room in them too.

Make rare gear that only drops on compounds. I'd farm for it.

I don't think we should just have a straight vote on this XD

It isn't the sort of thing democracy is set up to handle, and goes with what I like to call the Doritos experiment: What if, we had everyone in the world vote on whether Doritos should hand out a free bag of chips, or money if people wanted them to. There is no provocation, the Doritos company just has to do this because they can afford to and why not.

LETS DO THIS- http://strawpoll.me/2582527

The minis that do not respawn should drop loot as frequently as regular monsters. It's very underwhelming, plowing through things that do not bleed money or fire normally like the rest.

The crowns laying by the elevator at the end should to be replaced by green treasure boxes. Similarly, switches that cause crowns to appear in a room should instead create green treasure boxes.

The treasure boxes that come in a variable amount right before reaching the final room should come in red variants.

It WORKS!! :D!
