Maybe it’s me, I could see that, but 3.5k gold and a portrait seems like an insult. My guild isn’t very active, so it’s hard work to get to Tier 7, let alone beyond. But why even bother? I don’t care for the portrait, and the gold can be earned more easily.  
The previous keys and traitstones at least are useful, even though they lose value as one progresses.

Is this supposed to be some sort of challenge hump, to show determination? Or just another punishment of non-elite guilds?

Non-rant: the suggestions on the right actually found a thread that fits my rant:

> 3500 Gold and a Portrait is so uninspiring… Every time I see this reward it feels like you basically get nothing for completing this stage. It needs to be spiced up a bit. How about at least adding 5 arcane single color traitstones that match the current tower’s doom color? People need those to power up the doom troops anyway, so it would be a fitting reward. Throw in the 5 gems that most of the previous stages have and stage 7 won’t feel like such a waste, and will stop being a progress ki…

Interestingly it’s over 2 years old and apparently no one saw it/cared about it. Guess my rant will end up the same. Oh well, at least I could get it out of my system 😃
