Why do you draw a parallel? Gvg is unfair to most guilds who may possibly manage to conjure up a few people to do it. Some guilds still have enough interested people to fight it properly or at least fairly well. But they may otherwise be pretty average. Should their rank be significantly higher than a guild of equal numbers of players, in the same Gbg league and with the same level, but where everyone is active? Everyone can play everything else in the game. Gvg is skewed.
Firstly, they were talking about removing the GvG feature... as it's unfair to guilds that are active in CBG but don't play GvG.
It turns out that GvG is also used by many individual players to score in the individual ranking, in addition to the guild ranking of course.
The point is... players who only play CBG ask to end a feature that several others use, based on... "it hurts me, take it out of the game and the others to hell".
Following that same logic, players who don't play CBG could equally ask for the CBG feature to be removed as it's not something they use, and it benefits others, which means it hurts me.
On the individual ranking aspect... without GvG the only way to score would be through CBG... which is an exclusive feature for the biggest guilds only, guilds with many players or with many fake accounts (or both)... players Individuals or small guilds simply cannot compete because they don't have enough resources (goods and attrition) to do so. If only the CBG were a fair resource for everyone like the expedition, where the costs are based on the amount of members a guild has, in the same way that the pairing is done based on the amount of players in the guild... oh yes we could delete the GxG and leave only the CBG. But that will never happen, and CBG will remain an exclusive resource for 2 or 3 large guilds in each world.
And in the context of guild ranking, guilds that want to fight for ranking will have to play GvG too... asking for the feature to be removed just because certain guilds only play CBG doesn't make sense as I said, we could then have guilds that only play CBG expedition asking for the removal of GvG and CBG because they don't use it, so they are harmed by those who use it... this is a child's thing, accept the game as it is and that's it (because nothing will change anyway). If you want to fight for ranking you will have to play GvG too.
