Once again, you ignore what I said because it does not support what you want to think. I doubt you have ever tried to run or manage gbg in any way. As I said: "I am only 5th in EA for GBG this season (VERY far from dominating it). At Ascension, I am usually about that, as we try very hard to make sure and give EVERYONE lots of AF fights so the ENTIRE guild can grow.
Again, details unimportant. You did 411 fights on 5/5. How many fights are enough? How many rewards are enough? Why are you complaining? As I said, you're getting more than your fair share, why can't you be satisfied with that? Crack kills baby.
You keep digging your hole deeper. I run and manage GBG in my guild every round. Since it's inception, we've gone from Gold to Diamond league. I'm #3 in GBG rank in my guild for the first time ever. Every other round, I've been first.
Why am I only #3? Because this is our first time in Diamond league and the first time we've farmed it for points. So instead of pushing hard, I've chosen to clear the way for our more junior members. Take the attrition hits for them so they can farm the provinces with 4-5 Siege Camps touching them. You know, the members who don't have their Zues, CoA, and CdM at level 69 or 70. The one's who don't make over 350 FPs at collection, spinning hundreds of RQs for goods and more FPs. The one's who couldn't possibly make over 200 FPs a day from GBG or anywhere without me doing that.
So don't tell me I don't know what I'm doing, what you're doing, or the nature of your complaint. I get it. You used to be able to do more, and now you can't. And more than enough isn't good enough for you.
I never said my not getting past 60 was due to my gb's, I said it was due to the incredibly weak SAAB units that are completely inferior to the SAM units. But, again, you read into what I say with your own agenda. At least you have made it clear why you have that agenda. You will never have anything but crap to spout about GVG players. Good to know. This game is about teamwork. It seems you are NOT a team player or interested in being one.
I never said you said not being able to get past attrition 60 was because of your GBs. But you did say, "I have worked very hard on my city and built my strength up to be effective, now, much of that is wasted. Making a level 95 AO practically worthless for gbg..." That is what I was referring to. Which in no way negates my statement, your GBs worked fine for you prior to GBG, yet somehow they don't anymore because you can't fight to as high an attrition as you used to.
Why the fits now? Rewards. More specifically, the lack thereof. Which takes me back to my original premise? How much is enough? When is enough good enough? You keep arguing clearly it's not. Not unless and until Inno adjusts SAAB units so you can do as much as you used to, if not more. Even with not being able to do as much as you could in SAM, you're still raking in the FPs everyday. How much is enough? You're already getting more FPs from GBG than 98% of the people on your server. Again, crack kills, baby. Emphasis on the baby, as in cry baby. Inno took your toy. Waaah!!!
In LMA, there are not nearly as many level 80+ arcs (although more and more folks are doing what you do and camping those early eras with free arcs so they can beat up on the regular players better, so that may be changing). Try the top hood or even any FE or TE hood. Sniping in general and sniping WHILE folks are looping are VERY common there. For some reason, you think your experience is what everyone in this game has. While many with farms camp their farms in lower eras, most do not camp their mains the way you are. Your experience is NOT the norm.
I play my game the way it suits me. so what? I also rarely snipe my neighbors, and when I do, I do it to spin RQs for goods. You're facing regular snipers because you're a hard core sniper yourself. Because again, you're addicted to FPs. You can never get enough. So you not only look for more FPs rewards for yourself, you revel in doing it. I bet you even brag on the guild threads about who you sniped and how much. I know your type and as I said, "you're so NOT my people."
I never said that. I said you don't know what you're talking about. Do you even know that the units strengths and weaknesses completely change when you reach PE? Do you know that artillery units cannot hit flyers? Do you know what era flyers start? If you answer that you know any of this, did you have to look it all up, first (or ask your guild members)? You are talking about things you have never done as if you're an expert. You're not. Oh, and "whittling" your previous era goods down does not help your guild. You won't be able to take trades for members when you run out. Lower level folks always need help with trades.
Ever hear of a paraphrase? If not, look at my statement as an example of one. What does any of your questions have to do with anything I've said, except to imply, "You ain't stuff, you don't know stuff!" Again paraphrase. I understand the issue. SAAB units aren't as good a SAM units and as a result, you can't fight to as high an attrition as you could in SAM, Which means you can't earn as many rewards.
You've explained the problem clearly, I clearly understand your issue. What you can't seem to grasp is I don't care. Your issue is about getting less FPs per day than you used to when you still get hundreds and hundreds of them. Which brings us right back to my question, how much is enough? How many FPs per day does it take to satisfy, you? I argue there is no number, you can never be satisfied.
Nobody donates goods for themselves, they do it to help their guild. And, as I said before, "we try very hard to make sure and give EVERYONE lots of AF fights so the ENTIRE guild can grow." I will often build camps for tiles I do not take a single hit from. If a tile is not strategic (strategic = it blocks or cuts off the enemy), I will usually not hit it, AF or not. If it's strategic, I will usually hit it as much as I can (AF or not). You really want to hate. Your call, but stop putting your worst traits on others.
Your intellectual dishonesty is as laughable as your faux altruism. You donate goods so you can keep the game of Siege Camps and attrition free farming going throughout the round. As do the other members of the guild. You're not fighting for rank, you're fighting for rewards. Every guild member donates what they have when it's needed to keep the party going. To keep the rewards flowing. It's about the rewards, plain and simple. "I do for you, you do for me, and we all benefit." But that's not what this thread is about anyway.
You moved to SAAB, which resulted in you fighting less fights than you could in SAM leading to less rewards for you.
The only relevance goods donations have is you wanting to be able to dial up the era of the goods on your guild goods GBs so you're guild never runs out. So you never have to manually donate any longer. You want to simply dial up whatever era of goods the guild treasury is getting low on. I get it, I understand the game. You need to goods to build the Siege Camps to keep the party going for maximum rewards. Having this ability would eliminate any and all guild treasury bottlenecks, and eliminate the need for manual guild donations outside of you GBs.
No matter how you want to spin it, it benefits you. Do other guild members benefit indirectly? Sure, but so what? As I said, "I do for you, you do for me, and we all benefit." But let's be cleal, all of this is about being able to endlessly milk GBG for maximum rewards. At least be honest about that and stop with the shtick.
How many goods have you donated to your guild? Because I do not believe you can say that you do even half of what I do. Well, you can say it, but it would be a lie.
Tell yourself whatever you want. Make yourself feel superior however you need to. I don't care. It has nothing to do with anything anyway. I understand the game, I play the game, and I can see how all of your complaints and suggestions are about playing the 'milk GBG for maximum rewards game.'
There's that question again...
Babies gonna cry
