Why do the castle and fortress owners have to get everything? They're already getting +10 stones and zenny through tax. With the cazar gear drop from Greedy Mines, you're making them even more OP & richer, further dividing the gap with the rest of players.
If there is only one channel dungeon that can also be accessed by Fort&Castle owners, there is no way anyone else besides the big PvP guild is going to get anything out of it. They will always be there to kill the rest.
They should be forced to choose, either Vault or Mine. If they're ready to move onto cazar gear after hoarding their refinement stones, they should leave the fort and castle to others. Maybe more smaller guilds will the aim for these then. But even if this is implemented, I know what will happen. There will be many alt guilds that are made solely for the purpose of winning the house lottery and players from the main guilds would switch to their alt guild for farming and back to their main guild for WoE. At least the lottery would give everyone an equal chance to win so this might not always work in their favour..
I believe this was the original intent iirc CMMaridah was going to clarify with the devs whether castle & fortress owners having access to the mines was a mistake or not. Any progress on this?
On a different topic, I'd like to ask how we can collect 10% of the lottery revenue pool that was meant for winning guild? I haven't seen an increase in zenny in our storage. We have a party to organise..
