again, how are these smaller / poorer guilds (assuming they can even afford as many KP as the bigger guilds for woe boxes) going to have any more chance at taking a castle against any current powerhouses. the numbers, level disparities, and equipment will be much bigger deciding factors
the only reason i mentioned the OG teams is because even people ~13 years ago [when the game was young] knew more than you guys do after all this time. it's hilarious & frustrating listening to the nonsense you spout
They won't. A small and new guild of 20 people would never be able to take down a 60-people established guild regardless of potions, buffs, nerfs or whatever you come up and I don't even think why you're thinking that way. I mean, small guilds need to realize that they're small and need to grow in order to fight against the bigger ones, but the bigger and old ones will ALWAYS have the advantage over it. Else, you could ally with some other small guilds and then take down a really big guild, that's what have been happening since the first RO WoE.
The thing about cheap WoE pots is that at least it'll make small guilds have the possibility to actually WoE. If they were expensive I doubt most of them would even bother to appear there because they wouldn't be willing to spend 700k on a single day, while 100k is much more accessible. With that said, they now have the chances of getting a castle because again, they're actually WoEing.
Regarding "OG Teams" it really seems you were just a meatshield back then if that's really your mentality. Even 13 years ago, big guilds were big and small guilds were small, this never changed. Big guilds could be formed by a merge of smaller guilds or after a big guild quits and their players spread between the small guilds but a 30 player guild was NEVER able to take down a 100 player one. And no, they didn't know more than actual guilds. Those guilds most of the times didn't even have a proper roster, and most of their player's builds were all screwed up. If somehow, someone managed to revive Wild-Blades with all their players from 2003, they'd still get rekt by a guild with the same numbers nowadays. But I won't continue on this matter, it's just clear that you're with your nostalgia glasses and I won't be the one to take it off so I'll let the server's WoE do that for you.
