They do not do that on Cirgard. Guilds are focused on social cliques and petty personality politics instead of performance, You can cause zero drama and not be welcome if your level of play is too high. Lots of butthurt over nothing present here too.
That is correct
You missed the whole point. Guilds can only advance as individuals advance within the guild. It has nothing to do with 1 individual being more advanced than another individual. It is that without those individuals advancing in treasury donations or fighting ability that makes all individuals important which was your argument that individuals are NOT important. THAT IS THE POINT. Without individuals the guild then becomes unimportant. After all a guild is a collection of individuals.
Actually someone could want to delete it as a strategy to slow down points. Guilds in high diamond don't necessarily want to stay in high diamond.
They are not too expensive. Those Guilds are to cheap on leveling up Treasury Great Buildings.That the members decline or refuse to level up their own Treasury GBs is their problem, and the Guilds leaders problem for not knowing or caring to force the Guildies to level up Treasury Buildings. The fact is everyone in the cheapskate Guilds thinks someone else should be helping the Guild Treasury, and they all have excuses why they don't. (this has been true since I started playing Foe!!)
That is not true all of the time. In a small guild with some newer players, the Treasury is not always as strong. Not all guilds have a bunch of high level players who can build Hydras or AI Cores.They are not too expensive.

Lucky for me all three of my Guilds are concentrating on getting everyone to level up Treasury GBs. And the reports from Guildies watching the Treasury is we are doing a great job! And we all will keep at it until there is no longer any issue on making as many GbG buildings as we desire!. And that is the solution. Not whining that they can't build them because they 'cost too much".
You can build OBS though , if you have no goods in the treasury then that is where the problem is. Work on that instead of wanting to lower the whole game to your guilds standards. If the guild boilerplate says low or no requirements then know that joining them will mean no GBG for you.
The elite will always be the elite. Cheaters always cheat which makes me think they aren't really elite except in their own minds. The strategy I plan to employ with the new GBG is concentrate on Platinum with forays into Diamond for the TG frags as long as INNO doesn't take them away. So I think you make a very good argument. Maybe things can get back to some form of normal as this plays out.
This is true. With this in mind a subject that has been mentioned but not fully explored. That is "farming". Farming may go away for the top guilds but farming will never go away, mark my words on this. For the sake of argument let's change the subject to "raiding". Smaller guilds who may not be able to go for the top prize can always just make incursions on a top dog sector. Guess what top dog you can't stop it no matter what you do. We small fries can always raid you barns, attics, pastures or anywhere you have items of some value and in your face THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. Why you say? You cannot capture our HQ is why.
They can use traps on your doorstep to slow you down, if they are total jerks. as some did to us last season.
True but that wouldn't stop us is my point. In the end farming/raiding will not go away unless INNO makes it happen. Of that I am fairly certain they won't. BTW Traps and decoys are not being used by only the top guilds. That what really sucks.
