Let's bring back players, and bring back competition and fun that WoE / Ragnarok is all about.
- Lower the castle numbers. We don't need so many due to how many guilds we have currently. It's pretty much no competition or fun due to this.
- Take out the ability to have Alliances.
- Lower the Guild Cap. Doing this will have more guilds at one given time, more fun!
- Cheating needs to be looked seriously into, it ruins the game. Bannable offense! Seriously.
What about the drop rates and items given in the castle loots? Idea's? Thoughts?
Going to weigh in here as a member of the one guild everyone loves to hate for not playing the same way. I'm not posting here to start any poop throwing, just give my opinions so please keep guild drama and personal attacks out of it.
I sort of agree that it's annoying with the number of forts, but it's fairly easy to find action for the people that want it right now. The big guilds follow each other around and most of the smaller guilds have been scrapping in the same forts. The only problem I have is the ability for single players to take 1.0 forts at the end, most of the "important" forts are being taken by the bigger guilds and would probably end up under their control anyway, but all the misc bris/sleip forts that nobody really cares about are up for grabs.
Removing alliances wont do much of anything, any guilds who want to work together will continue to do so.
As for the guild cap there's nothing to stop people from limiting the number of players they want to bring. People just want to keep winning so they bring more and more people, with unlimited supplies it's not that much more effort for just one more person and then just one more person. If you lower guild sizes you're just going to wind up with the same people split into two groups working together, same deal as the alliances. Right now its easy enough to find people to fight if you're a 10-15man guild.
One problem I have with the guild cap is how it impacts more casual groups. It's going to mean that nobody will ever have an alt in guild, people who stopped playing for a few months wont be able to log in and say hi. This may not be a big deal for the guilds who are only active during woe, but we've got people logging on every week who havent played for weeks/months and I'd much rather them be able to interact with players instantly instead of logging onto a fairly empty server with no guild and nobody to talk to.
No arguments with the cheating, that and the RMTing need to stop.
Castle treasure is still a fiasco, there's so much "junk" it's all supposed to help fund and supply a guild. On a 1x rate server with no VIP, no gum, no surplus boxes and a decent population its probably really nice to have a whole pile of pre-trans stuff to inject into the market. But we've got the same base drop rates on that stuff (as far as I know) and its amplified so much. Guild leaders are just showered in items they cannot get rid of fast enough and it's not even a priority because they dont *need* to as they're not buying sands or bomb mats due to GSBs. This is also a problem with relation to the amount of god pieces floating around.
