The Certificates used to buy personnel, like bartenders and Jawas, for Strongholds. So many more strongholds, nothing makes them seem more real than having them well staffed.

I think GSF should earn Valor. It is a form of PvP and would allow those of us who love GSF, but not Arenas to gain Valor. I'm not suggesting the payout be anywhere close, just that some valor be rewarded.
