I had also been struggling with this as I have one of my more experimental cities in A-world. I join a new guild each week and am disappointed that they only do level 1 of the GE. So by Friday, I quit. Guild hop until I come across one to try out for the next GE. Well, I scored on Sunday. I came across one that unlocks level 4 every week- and they are open join. I haven't interacted with anyone yet, so I'm not sure how they are other than opening up Level 4 each week. Name is SiVisPacemParaBellum. A strange mouthful, but something beyond level 1!
I’m basically a farmer/trader, not into GvG, but have negotiated all of Level 4 a few times on another world. Would love to join a guild that’s committed to opening up at least L3 every week, but my current guild is full of somewhat inactive players in higher ages who never donate the goods needed. Frustrating! Not rushing up the tech tree, so very interested in FP swaps to level up GBs. I’m a very active trader—just don’t make me fight!
Join us .... 'The Humble Horde'
we are a newish guild on Arvahall , formed 27 weeks ago. We have 13 members from Progressive Era to Iron Age and scores from 2.5 million to 7000. Our overall record in GE is 24 championships and 3 runner-ups. We open lv 4 of GE every week though members are only required to finish 16 / 64.
We have a 5, two 10, a 20, and a 30 fp swap and its nice with our small size as it allows our members to have great control at placing for GB rewards. Our swaps are very active .
Our members are also incredibly generous ... whenever a new GB is constructed in our Guild every member is required to contribute at least 2 forge points to the GB but most members contribute 10 and some even regularly contribute 20 or 30
Every single Fair trades is accepted daily -- maybe the single greatest reason for joining...
We dabble in GvG on the Colonial Map and i've also started trying to take some sectors on the HMA map
Our overall ranking is #180 although and we are a lv 13 guild though we are growing very quickly.
Any active player is welcome to join our very great (and humble) guild
