GBG as it is today, is fatally flawed-ex. today within 15 minutes one guild controlled the map, within 30 minutes they controlled 20 sectors locking every other guild into their home locations. So, essentially a 11 or 12 day event is decided, making participation by a vast number of players far less likely. And this scenario has recurred several GBG in a row.
So how do you improve GBG? Well it goes to what the intent is, to reward the most active guilds or to get more players to play, cause those are, in many ways, mutually exclusive goals.
Right now the system is set up for the 1st goal. You may need something drastic to get the 2nd goal, perhaps top guilds will have their ability to play GVG reduced in the next GVG, ie increase costs for buildings or increase their attrition relative to other guilds.
think of it in terms of the NFL draft. The system is set up that the weaker teams get the better draft choices-it works to balance the game in the long run (theoretically) along with things like free agency and salary caps.
So back to todays GBG, I am an active player, but my interest in the current GBG is gone, i will do my daily attacks to farm a little, but i will give little thought to it and not bother acting strategically. And I will do alot fewer attrition, cause it simply isnt worth it.
