What happens to PvP when everyone jacks their defense up so no one can win? Why are so many so concerned about losing a few fight in PvP?
You misunderstood first part, he was saying good luck to us on the new GBG. I think he quit mostly because of the events, he was complaining about them.
It's not PVP at all , its the GE5 defense requirement that is boosting the defense up much higher than it used to be. I get 278 exactly from the top PVP fights. If I disconnect my city to drop my defense it jumps up to 385
Scoredb lists the number of player accounts on each world. Unless you were to look at them individually you can't tell if the account is active, or not. Also, unless you have been tabulating the total player counts for a long period of time you can't say if the total count is falling. Finally, comparing Dilmun to other worlds is meaningless.
So does everyone else that methodically manages their friends list. I've been culling mine for as long as I have been playing the game. Doesn't mean that the number of players is falling. Just face it. Nobody but INNO knows if the player base is growing, shrinking, or stable.
The number of players over 20K is not an indicator of activity. Maybe these players are active, maybe they are not. Case on point. When I started playing, the #1 player in Tuulech had a bit over 1B points. That player now has 1.2B points, still shows up on ScoreDB and has been totally inactive for two years.
You're saying that because Dilmun @ one year has fewer 20K+ players than Birka @ one year the player base is declining? Not only are you comparing apples with oranges (literally), you still don't know who on the ScoreDB list is active and who is not. As I said before, only INNO knows how many active players they have and they ain't saying. Anyone, outside of INNO, making statements about the status of the player base is just speculating. Nothing more, nothing less.
Option 3: Ignore GE5 and GBG. Which is what I am already doing.
Ummm. So you're rebutting his point that the active playerbase is declining by demonstrating that even those over 20k points can be inactive?!? Logically, that reinforces his point.
The figures that @Dursland submitted show the number of player accounts over a certain point threshold. They do not reveal player activity. Many of these accounts are inactive as we all well know. This being the case, from these numbers there is no way to draw conclusions regarding the trajectory of the overall active player base. It may be falling, it may not be.
Maybe, maybe not. The snapshot shows that Birka has 8069 player accounts above 20K at the one year make and Dilmun has only 6482 player accounts above 20K. But, from these numbers, we can't tell how many of these players were/are active. If 50% of the Birka players were inactive when the snapshot was taken (leaving 4035 active) and 80% of the Dilmun players are active (5186 active) it could be argued that the player base is growing.
Because I believe that the 10% slot is originally an avatar. After you get the avatar, then you get the fragments whenever that 10% chance hits. It's apparently easier to just have the reward change than to switch from two rewards to one. Kind of like each RQ in an age giving Diamonds once and then medals after that when that slot comes up, except we don't see the chances graphically then, just the results.
I agree. I was not commenting on worth, just trying to explain the mechanics of it.
have no ideal sorry maybe you have one of those testing things A/B testing
