there only are a handful of truly strong guilds per server... so it simply is really unlikely for more than two of them to meet up
You didn't specify if you are referring to Live or Beta though it really doesn't matter. In nearly two years of playing GBG with D1K guilds I can recall only one season where we were matched with 7 weak guilds (the "placeholders" that you refer to). If 1 + 7 was a common occurrence there would not be nearly three years' worth of complaints about strong guilds collaborating to checkerboard the map. Most often, there are 4 strong guilds and 4 weaker ones and this results in the complaints about farming and "bullying".
I'm talking about beta. 56 guilds here in 1000 this season. To be honest, I have a very bad idea of the balance of power here. I saw earlier that we won mostly. I see now 5 seasons in a row that we get dead group. I want to understand if the reason is nerf or that beta always plays sluggishly. We are not using our potential even by half, as I assume. Not because we don't want to hit. Rather, because the opponent does not want to
If this change was done as some say, to just increase revenues, beta has shown that was a failure. Removing the cap with a adjustment to the 24% a SC has would do that at least in Diamond. Taking 24% to a slightly higher number AND changing the maximum SC cap to 5 would do just that. At the moment there is little incentive to build. Leaders get on but att out quickly. There is no reason to diamond tiles and in weaker guilds even less to use diamonds at all. 28% for SC would give 80% at 5 SC. 30% would give 66% at 3 SC.
Yes! this is the main reason for disappointment. Perhaps they have achieved their target. But we don't know what that target is. And we feel like idiots and experimental mice without the right to vote. If they had said directly what they wanted to achieve, everything would have been different
Who is we ? do you speak for all the players ???I wonder how many rounds will they make until accepting we don't want this! 
Can you declaim some more stupidity ???? It's not because we pointed the anomalies already 2 1/2 years ago that we were cry babys, if inno reacted right away at that moment there would be no fuzz from spoiled players like now.
Maybe there wasn't enough up votes and your complaints got rejected all these years
All the polls taken show that the players are against this update, so yes, Geeka speaks on behalf of the majority of the players.
No he speaks on behalf of a majority of farmers who signed in to vote against , not of a majority of players
And are you entiteled now to be a lazy player or a non-active player now because you can't play 24h a day like some suggested here on the forum????
Yes exactly an active player=24 hrs straight with no blinking!
No that is not an active player you are confused with a brainwashed player who sees only farmingopportunities, it's a big difference.
Yes brainwashed-active-farming-zombie-clicking candy fiends they are!
