I think I'm right in saying that the "no map contact updates" was set up like that in an earlier version of GWX (and carried through to GWX KC), for the following reason:

- Using that setting requires quite a steep learning curve, even for many very experienced players.

- So, in theory, that setting should contribute a very high % contribution to the maximum of 100% difficulty, which of course affects the amount of renown earned by the player (100% difficulty gives the player 100% of the renown earned).

- However, doing that would then mean many (probably the vast majority?) of players, who will never want to use that setting, will not be able to get 100% renown. So I think that's why it was set to 0%.

One could also argue that advanced players who prefer to use "no map contact updates" are quite likely to also know how to mod the difficulty percentage settings to suit their preferences.

As a side-note: I think Kpt. Lehmann mentioned recently here that changes to the renown system will be considered.
