so, its been a couple of weeks that the guild im in has been joining emporia with high expectations, we train our chars, come up with strategy, craft better gear, only to be defeated over and over AND OVER by cheating guilds doing exploits, bugs, reloggin, bla bla, people complain about it and nothing really changes, no fixes or anything. so this is only a suggestion to make an easy fix to some of the issues.
to fix reloging either limit the chance of a player joining emporia to 1 per battle, if they relog they cant join back. or make an item that has 1 hr cooldown like a entrance scroll.
if would wish that GMs would attend or at least be online when some of the tournaments are ongoing to see what the problems are firsthand and monitor them, since emporia is the end game event and what people look forward to joining. its really sad that its a really broken event, needs some tweaks, needs some care and lovin lol.. but it would be great to have an event that guilds actually look forward to participate in rather than just avoid it because its so broken.
sorry for the rant, hopefully a gm sees this and can do something about it, since im not the only person in the game with this thoughts or issues
