New setup for GW ruined it. It's useless now, damned if you do, damned if you don't. IF you get to win a city or two, doesn't last cuz they get that city buff. So hands are tied, it's not more competitive, its less. You can't risk giving them another city buff, so sit like tepid water in def. They can't take any more, and now all have lost city ownership buffs. Stupid, when it only affects one realm of 5. I still hate it, and they ruined it.
