GB boost after L10

[DeletedUser31974]

Why do so many GB have worse bonus to their boosts after level 10 especially when we have to collect bp set to unlock every level?

E.g. HS at L8 4700 +600= L9 5300 +1100= L10 6400 but then for L11 it's only +313=6713
SMB L8 220 +15= L9 235 +15= L10 250 but L11 only +5
FoD +500 +500 then +240
InnoT +1320 +1310 then +748

Well obviously so that the GBs wouldn't be OP.
Collecting BP isn't hard at all for people w/ ARC.
Let's give an example, Arc, it increase by 2% every 1 level until 10. If that continued, let's take the highest Arc on the US servers, level 145. 145 *2 + 10= 300 percent bonus. WAY too OP.

Another example, Zeus, +3 every level until 10. Let's take the highest Zeus on US server, level 131 I believe. 131 * 3 = 391%. Again, way too OP.

It is game design.

Level 10 used to be the maximum level for GB's. After a few years they decided to increase these levels. To retain balance in the game they made the bonuses lesser to prevent older players from becoming gods but still allow them to retain interest in the game by allowing them to level up their GB's

I understand why is this so for GB with great boosts like Arc, but a lot of other buildings never get built over level 10.

Arc also have middle stage from 10 to 80. Why not make something like that for other GB, only a somewhat worser bonus to their boosts, not completely terrible.
What's 80 to Arc is 10 to a lot of GB.

Yep the ARC and a few other high-age GB's are not like the lower aged ones with regards to bonuses past level 10. (not sure why, maybe INNO can see the bigger picture).

The ARC gets levelled past 10 by most, as the contribution rewards are considerably higher than other GB's so contributors benefit a lot and also the owner. ARC's can not only benefit the user but also his/her friends/guild mates as you can add more FP's than a non ARC owner and therefore help out with their GB's. So basically a guild with a few high level ARC owners will progress faster than a guild without. This is my opinion as to why so many are power levelling their ARC over other GB's

The Arc is certainly one that could have used a marked decrease in effect for levels beyond 10. It's more of an outlier rather than one that should be the standard for other GBs. The Seed Vault has a measuably worse effect for most people and has a slower growth rate from the very beginning...same with the Arctic Orangery and just about any other %-based GB..

However, as said the bonuses increase more slowly past 10 because that's more supportive of a system that (in theory) can go on forever, rather than one with a hard cap like levels 1-10 used to be.

I don't know... the Kraken allows you almost a guaranteed kill before battle begins over 20 times in a row when you get to the high levels. That seems almost like an easy button to me. A free kill for 20+ battles in a row? Yeah, I think that's pretty helpful. The Château Frontenac gives some pretty crazy bonuses once you reach those higher levels too.
