There seems to be a very vocal minority in here that are against any kind of requested controls. Answers like "hell no!", "go back to gvg", "we have comments from a top ten guild again" are not useful. If your goal is to stifle us, then you're simply trolling.
The goal of this thread is for INNO to get comments from players as the game goes active on production servers. We can discuss the merits from our point of view in a reasonable fashion or we might as well close the thread.
I keep hearing the argument that we should communicate with our guild mates. In fact, this is what we're trying to do. Communication is the transfer of an idea from 1 person to another. Part of the communication process is feedback. It's used to verify the idea was transferred and understood correctly. As any guild leader knows, it's often hard to get feedback from some members. If we are in a guild that wants to win, we apply strategy and we work together. When something is done that doesn't follow the plan like:
- someone still fighting when we've given the signal to stop
- someone starts hitting province that we do not intend to take etc
we have only one avenue for communication. Talk to the whole guild asking "who's still fighting, please stop", "who started a battle on xx" etc. When no feedback is given, people sometimes get heated. All caps come out. Comments become sharp. The whole guild is affected.
With logs that have been asked for, we can find out who and talk to them in private. We can work on the communication and ensure the idea is transferred effectively. We can post in the main thread "I'm talking to so and so right now" if needed. It would make for a more pleasant time for all guild members in a guild that wants to win.
That's what this is - a game. Battlegrounds have winners and losers. I hear a lot of arguments from the few vocal people here complaining about top 10 guiilds. Face the facts. There are leaderboards for players and guilds. There is a leaderboard for a season in Battlegrounds and each battle has a winner and a loser.
That's what the game is.
If you choose not to use the requested logs, it doesn't affect you. Some of us would like permissions to allow guildies to set the first battle on a province. The argument was that others did not want to have to give out those permissions. That's a valid argument, although it could have been made in a more reasonable way. That would be up to INNO to decide.
If INNO decided not to implement that change, that would be fine, but I did mention 1 other. Allow us the ability to kill a siege or, if you don't like me calling it a siege, maybe call it remove the banner. If anyone can start taking a province, we need to be able to stop one that has been started in the wrong place. We're the only ones that lose. We've wasted attacks, gained attrition and gained nothing else.
Let's try this again to have a reasonable discussion.
