I must add, Please do site my positions and what I have said, like I said, start a thread Bashing Stevie and I will even comment on it.
I started at the tail end of the Easter Event on 2014, I believe. I joined to play with friends and all of us did not know mush about the game.
Might I add, then much of this game was different as it is now. Meaning, the things we all have today, we didn't have then.
FYI, I love GE....On the first day, I had over a level 10 TOR. GE was new then and I knew the power of it. Again, when I started the game I didn't know the game and I was learning. I am man enough to admit that everyone has a learning curve, but it seems you don't. You must be a much better man than I.
Unlike you, I was playing with friends who made a guild and I was asked to run it and I declined. The leaders then decided to merge with another guild and we all went there. Someone asked for goods and I posted I would help and I got yelled at. Needless to say, that person and I solved that later on and worked it out. I left that guild and all of my friends started to leave as well. A new guild was made, RT it was not RT then it was RR. Then mails went back and forth and players went back to the guild we had merged with. The guild was then thrust on me and I was with less than 20 people then. I build it, merged with guilds, recruited and broke my butt in making a home for all. YES, I did it with help from people who came to the guild. The guild has changed players, as most guilds do, yet I was the leader and we took it to # 1, again by fighting. I had a family emergency and multiple family members who got sick and were in the hospital. I could not play for over 6 months time, last year. So, 2018 was not a good year for my family, yet I came back for my favorite event Christmas. Which they changed multiple times, like the Easter Event which has since been destroyed by the game. Looking back, 2014, that Easter event was one of the best but you see it take experience in learning what is good or not.
I must add, I have said before and I will say it again. There have been changes on this game, some good and some not so good and horrible. The devs. have made errors, like re-calc. before and we all know what they did to resolve that. So please know and allow everyone to read for themselves the ideas I have had and the things I have said. If you want to troll me or attempt to slander me, I could sit here and pick away at you and your record, yet I have a life and I have a guild to run. I highly suggest you do the same. Please post some positive solutions, if you can, instead of trying to create negative things about me. This is a forums for potential solutions, which again I have given. Have you or are you just one of those who want to banter or hinder another player. We all have opinions and that's fine, just state suggestions for positive solutions. Lastly, are you saying this is the same game as when you started.? As it is not. We all know this and again, some changes have been positive (like the Auto button when we fight, remember when we did not have that and people had to actually manually fight?) and some have NOT, but we all have to live with what the Devs and the game decides to spit out. You can agree with them or not, but one thing you MUST do is adapt or quit. Notice, I am here STILL, trying to give my opinion and positive suggestions to make the game better for all. Just because a few champ farm, which I don't, does not mean the game has to fundamentally change. Of the 5% who do GvG, as has been stated here, I would bet that less than 1/2 of 1% actually do that and most just fight. So, the solution is to destroy the re-calc time of 8:03pm EST and add a bunch more. This is not a new issue of lag due to re-calc. time. AGAIN, NOT NEW. There are simple solutions and many have given them, but instead we should change the game and GvG.? Really.? This has been tried before and let's just do the simplest solution, UPGRADE the servers and UPGRADE the capacity of them, so they eliminate the lag or reduce it. Nuke the Champs for points given out and who cares about the Champ Farmers. Why are so many upset by that, who cares, you are all being petty. By the way, there is a new feature coming like a GE on Steroids where Guilds can battle more. So, this new content will change the game again. Just fix the problems and issues with LAG and leave the rest alone.
This is a good game and reasons why people like me stay and play, I enjoy it and I enjoy helping my friends and my players. I help more people and am probably one of the nicest players on the game, believe it or not. Ask about me in H World for yourself. My record stands for itself. The game does not listen to it's players most of the time or they listen to people who want an easy game. When I started this game was harder. There was no daily rewards like there is now or friends tavern or even GE. All of these events too, have been fundamentally changed, some for the better and some for the worse. That is subjective to what the player likes. I stayed in FE for almost 2 years, as it is the best age and now I am in Space Aged Mars for various reasons. We can argue about the ages and all, but FE was and is awesome for many reasons. OH, by the way, there was NOT an AA age map, where guilds could train people on GvG, like we did in RT. I would load spears in the sectors and teach new players how to fight and learn. You see, we did that, we actually used AA for a positive purpose and help people in our guild. We were the first guild with over 80% of their players to have an ARC with over 70 players and at least 85% of those all came from my goods. So, please don't say I don't know about the game or can adapt. Again, the 1.9 came from US, RT. Be productive and make positive changes that will help the community, don't bash someone with good intentions and positive ideas. But I can think outside the box, as it has been posted and proven, I don't come on to bash others. I state positive solutions to help us all, a simple thank you is enough. Try it sometime.
