what if a player has an high Arc (and other guild goods buildings) and filled the treasury for years
doesn't he deserve to play level 5 ?
even nobody else plays it ?
Long term it will not work as their long ago contributed goods are likely spent for other players sitting in the earlier ages so the guild can open GE and more-over GbG. I'm talking about it makes no sense to open the highest level for a few players to play it. While it isn't as drastic as GbG season after season (heck, that can be 80K+ goods a DAY). My point shouldn't be lost on folks that if only a minority of the guild participates the majority of the guild shouldn't have to support it.
Yes, I didn't claim it was a huge drain, but it does drain 4x more than GE4 which some guilds to this day do not unlock due to mis-managed treasuries. That does not defeat the point that it's worth considering that players who want to play GE5 should have the option to open it for themselves paying their share of goods only for access to it. But, yes, I do suppose we should argue about an idea and immediately point out how it doesn't flow with the rest of GE levels when GE5 ITSELF does not flow with the rest of GE levels. Thanks,I've been shown!For a guild with big treasury contributions, the cost is no big deal. So it doesn't matter if they're on the hook. Much of treasury contributions are just your fee to be in the guild. i.e. The people at the bottom of the GBG standings in your guild that aren't getting the free fights are still helping pay for them with their Arc. If the guild decides to open GE5 and they don't do that, it'll be no big deal.
Yep, but we should gloss over that feedback here?For a guild with smaller treasury contributions (i.e. not all Arc-80+), a decision will have to be made if it's worth it - and yea that falls on leaders. If they don't open it, they may lose some of the stronger members. If they have to ask for extra beyond GBs from their smaller members, they may have to lose or cut many more smaller members.
It'll be a point of contention in some guilds yes. But those guilds always have points of contention Most of which will be in the first category, where it really shouldn't be. While the second category where it's a honest issue will probably make a decision, members make a decision, and everyone moves on
GE5 is ridiculous where it stands today. Yes, I can negotiate every week as soon as it opens and still have left over goods. That doesn't mean I support it as I'd like to see it be something the MAJORITY of players can complete, even if they have to put a bit of effort (read as <6 months) into it first.
For folks so focused on ROI one would think that GE5 would be an immediate and sustained thumbs down since the rewards are not worth any part of the challenge.
