Combat Ranks and Influence FFA

Asmodea

So combat ranks have been around for quite some time, very few people even look twice at them anymore, some people join them, most don't. I was just wondering what people thought of maybe introducing a yearly prize for the top ranking fighter to encourage more use of the combat ranked duels?

Ideas for a prize could be some sort of trophy that the winner keeps until the next round that gives them some utility benefit, or perhaps they could receive a divine present or even choose from a selection of artifacts to have until the next round?

Also, I was wondering if it would be a fun idea to make it so that you could have Influencing FFA's and duels, could be a ranked thing also with prizes at the end of the year for those that don't fight.

It would be cool if combat ranks were updated a little. Make them last longer than a single month, and include some thing where you can't just sit at the top and refuse to spar other people.
