The opposing army boosts are dependent on era.PE, but I do not think the boost depend on era.

Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit, apparently. I was never talking about GE prizes when I questioned you. I was talking about anniversary prizes. You know, the things you said yourself that you weren't going to buy now, because GE got nerfed. I asked you how GE being nerfed made the anniversary prizes not worth paying for now, since that's what you yourself said. Do you have an answer to that, the question I originally asked you in the first place and have been repeating this whole time?1) You didn't answer my question about GE rewards, which you say look EXACTLY the same. 2)INNO nerfing rewards! IMO both are related!
Don't worry. There will be enough players with your mindset that guilds will either be forced to open L5 or risk losing their best members. Coming soon to a world near you...uber Guilds comprised of lots of members that complete L5 weekly.
It is confusing. I might be wrong but I think that Ritual Flames and Ritual Flame upgrade kits can be won on L2. The Greater Ritual Flames can be won on L5. They are different buildings."New" Greater Ritual Flame 7% city defender -attack boost
"Old" ritual flame 8% city defender- defense boost, level 2 has 12% city defender- defense boost. It is unclear to me if the old ritual flame will no longer be a prize to win. GE level 5 announcement is unclear. Still mentions that ritual flame is something to win in GE L2, announces Greater Ritual Flame but doesn't say how to win it. I never know if the poor instructions and information are done on purpose or if the writers of the announcements just don't know how to write an explanation of new game features.
I got 25 frags for Greater Rit Flame, not sure how, if they are from L2 , then the table in the announcement should say "Greater Ritual Flame" instead of "Ritual Flame. " IF the frags are from GE L5 and GRF is a totally new building in ADDITION to the existing rituals flames then the announcement shouldn't say these are completely new versions and you can't upgrade your existing ones. Announcement should just say "there is a new Defender attack boost building called Greater Ritual flame. It is an addition to the existing ritual flame defender defense boost buildings.
The top guilds (L100) got nothing before except the trophy so nothing has changed there. I agree these top guilds will be able to afford the L5 opening costs. The lower level guilds (and I dislike generalizing here) typically do not participate heavily in GbG, or GvG. They just need to require that all players have an Arc. A level 20 Arc (less for low era players) is sufficient to support GE provided the guild doesn't go crazy buying siege camps in GBG.OK Inno, I am going to not harp on the diamond heist (for a moment) but want to understand the 4X goods cost (versus L4) to guilds.
Players have crazy attack stats, E9 to 16, negotiation costs are crazy. Players will have to use the diamonds made in GE 1-4 to complete negos (lets assume this part). Ok you make adjustments over time. Players do get some good rewards in the end, yada yada.
Back to the guild, what does the guild get? If you tell me that fake trophy, I will laugh. The guild gets nothing but pays 4X. Oops., forgot, the guild gets drama, open or not open? That cost should be reduced at LEAST 50%, Of course top guilds can pay, but 90%+ can not. So you basically exclude these players. I know it can be said, join the top guild but 80 members is the maximum, so once filled, a majority of players will be still not be able to play GE5.
I agree with your opinion on most points at least in spirit. GE5 was a nasty surprise package when we were expecting a box of treats. What I do not agree with is your premise about exclusivity. The truth is that ever since L4 was introduced and 100% was not in fact not really 100% is when the exclusivity began not with this most recent addition of L5. All they've done is escalate it to a different height: the climb was already steep.Back to the guild, what does the guild get? If you tell me that fake trophy, I will laugh.

Our guild isn't even going to unlock itWell Well Well, it seems that folks on my server are seriously discussing an inter-guild boycott of GE5... wow
