When selecting your character, there is a clock of how long you've spent playing the game.
What I'm proposing are character rewards for reaching a certain amount of game time, to reward player loyalty.
probably like unique crest accessories or something idk
this has been an ingenuitive and informative suggest by urs truly

Idling is something I've thought about, but considering that most people won't idle out for say, a whole week at a time without playing the game, just for a cosmetic accessory, it's safe to say that there's not much of a drawback to rewarding player loyalty.
Also, adding an idling feature to prevent players from sticking a key is something I've suggested in another thread, and that kind of thing might compliment this as well.
Prestige rewards are a good idea too.
Although some players will always be able to cheat the system, It isn't that bad rewarding all players as they play the game.
They could also add achievements for play time, some people on steam has over 2000 hours in this game, that would be a neat achievement to get.
Make it pegged by prestige mission, not in game time. A lot of people just idle out alts. Make them work for the rewards.
