It was 'consciously decided' by Inno not to expend the engergy and yes, many many RL fps to port this feature to mobile. Mobile players by definition are "throw and go" players. I'm not prepared nor willing to spend money in this game to satisfy what you call 'modern' players and I call 'transient' players. PCs are not a thing of the past and that's exactly what is implied by such reasoning. If someone wants to play this feature badly enough, they will utilize a pc.In theory, yes. Big issue, though: PLATFORM. I'd help in GvG but I play strictly mobile, and anyone on mobile can't play GvG. Because it was consciously decided by Inno to not port GvG to any mobile platforms, an entire segment of the then, AND now modern player community cannot participate, even if they wanted to.
I remember when Inno did a refresh to GvG 3 or 4 years ago, and characterized the community of players using that feature of the game (playing GvG....) @ roughly 5% of the FoE gamers.
It was fairly revelational to be told it was that low, and still got development energy. I'll bet its lower now. To some, it's their reason to come in here and stick around at all.
Bottom line is that this thread was introduced by someone who doesn't see the value in that feature of the game. This pov is not unique. If you don't like it, don't play it. I like the diversity the game has to offer. Personally, I find it hard to believe that any player can't find a guild that doesn't support battlegrounds after 3 years of the feature being live!
Eliminating GvG would only accomplish one thing: eliminating all players who've played a long time.
My other thoughts on the issue of guild goods? Have y'all ever done a cost-analysis of what it takes to play in diamond league in an unfriendly build zone compared to sieging/da expenses in gvg? I saw the list(s) of what some players think is adequate to feed the treasury and sorry, but it's laughable. If you're not providing 2500 goods per day, you'd probably not be considered for membership in a top-tired guild on any world but one of the newest ones. The days of an 80 Arc are not yet a thing of the past but they're sure amping up to be. I don't have any analysis of that but my best 'guess' would be that in a year (or less), people with Arcs under 130 will be passe and less likely to attract the attention of guilds on the first 2 pages of rank. It is what it is -- you can either deal with the diversity or not. Your choice.
