The GW change is a step in the wrong direction - it promotes the making of alts. Taking 5 durability for one battle is simply too much! That means no matter what your power is - no matter how hard you've worked to get where you are - you can fight 20 battles IF you win them all. So, now 20 low levels (alts?) can take out a single power player. They've each lost 10 - so they can do it again - up to 10 times total. Something just don't sound right about that.
But the whole thing with the alts, a guild of nothing but low level alts with the new gw changes in place causing the huge powered members of the guild defending its city...hadn't thought about it like that, but yeah that makes sense. However, when the uber large guild loses yet has recently acquired nearly an alt for every one of its own "main" players and still loses to a small guild, seems to me then most likely the reason they still lose to the smaller guild is because the uber guild is only uber because it buys its power every chance it can, for it AND its alts. Therefore, its alts are generally just second accounts to help that guild maintain a stranglehold on the server indefinitely. And with that mentality, it's very easy to see where such players would be none too happy to lose a shred of anything on that game. Because, basically, they are coining for two now.
