[Suggestion] Replace Guild Wars

[perawind_8762856]

you are still failing to see his point
lets make another example to explain jokers concern:
our guild where i am leader at is level 6 (highest other guild is 5). my power is double the power of the 2nd rank who is in my guild and i do 60% damage in banish with 60% buff (so my guild mates get more i would buff less but then we dont kill it in time). so, if we would do your system that you are suggesting and attach the guild buffs to the guild level, what would prevent me of kicking the entire guild (except a few lowbies for sailing) and start farming the entire server? (keeping in mind that if they join other guilds where they get +150% coins, it would help me by giving me more to farm)

Great point. Currently, cities provide checks and balances to prevent kicking.

That leaves two solutions to the present problem of servers dying.

1) Add more cities, so that more than 1 guild can control a fair amount of cities. If there were 20 cities, say, 6 rep, 6 gold, and 2 of each of the level 5,6,7 & 8 cities. Then there would be a lot more cities to hold and it would be harder for one guild to dominate considering the heavy boost against them if they try to control 15 cities (this is an example).
or 2) Retain guild wars as is, and add guild level bonuses like
5% rep & 5% gold/credits gained per guild level. This makes it so that leveling up a guild is meaningful even if you don't have cities.

Why not put a cap on the number cities one guild can hold. It would also cause more guilds to pop up because one guild couldn't control all the cities.

Why not get rid of the alt guilds and alt toons? Less cheaters and more goodies for all. No changes that you propose will affect anything except make the alts and their alt guilds stronger. Thus screwing over the players one more time.

Here's an Idea..How about making GW random across realms....Guilds sign up to fight but could end up fighting any guild on that server. I think this will stop a lot of Big guild collusion. For instance Uber Guild from Forest may face off against Uber Guild from Light. so instead of choosing the city you wish to fight for or defend Tynon randomly chooses for you. I think this will also stop bid blocking by these alt guilds.

Yep Predakon, that would help deal with alts. But alts are also encouraged by other game mechanics including sailing (because we have a finite supply of maps), and last hit. 34 hits to finish last hit encourages realms with small populations to make alts to reduce the number of rounds to finish last hit. Realms with 5 players have 7 rounds for example.

Makes it really hard to target specific cities... like jengu on fridays or something like that.

I think randomizing it would make it harder for our guild, which is the most powerful on the server, to gift other small guilds cities. There is one guild that can take one city from us on a bad night. There are a lot of small guilds though that don't stand a chance. We send one noob in to defend them and they get the city and the rewards for GW. We attack them with one noob and again they win and get the city and rewards. Randomizing would make that impossible and the small guilds would vanish like on other servers.

Perawind..I was only suggesting that they do it for Gw.....g346...Yes it would but it would also make it harder to gift as Trolls suggested in the next post.....Trolls I don't think any real player appreciates being gifted anything
