Add Extra Rewards to Occupation Wars to Reward Guilds for Holding Forts Based on Time, not just final Occupation.

Suggestion(s)/Comment(s): Guilds should be rewarded for being the ones holding the fort for extended time periods in occupation style node wars even if they do not claim the final occupation.

Details:
I'm sure many of you people out there who have node warred in occupation have experienced it at once point in time, where your guild has held the stick for 40 minutes and then all of a sudden 3 guilds start to siege you out in the last 5 minutes and flip the fort with a minute or two left leaving you with only the participation reward and nothing else. 
My suggestion to PA is to have a scaling reward based off the time you hold a stick in occupation NW on top of final occupation/participation rewards. Guilds that have done the work early to take the fort and work hard to defend their fort as long as possible should be rewarded for their efforts. Something along the lines of every 10 minutes that you occupy a fort gives you a box that contains 100-200 mil gold bar and between 2-5 node war medals. It feels unrewarding to hold a fort for the entire war duration only for another guild to RNG the flip in the last 5 minutes when all remaining guilds converge on you and then all of a sudden you get the base participation reward despite working hard to hold the fort the longest.

This is excellent; please apply this idea to both Node Wars and Blue Battlefield.

This idea would be even better if the rewards were granular (improving by every minute) based on the total amount of time spent holding forts and the number of forts held at a time (2 forts held at the same time for 1 minute = 2 minutes added to the reward). Also please add rewards for each kill. Make it so that if you meet a certain threshold for any combination of captures and kills you qualify for participation.

This is a really, really good idea. I hope they do something like this for construction as well because the stalemate rewards are the same as the lose rewards. They should be different.
