Not a Bug: Unable to obtain Goods Requirement to Unlock Level 2 in GE, because these Goods are 3 eras ahead into the future

There is a problem with unlocking GE Level 2. To unlock this level, it requires the Guild Leader to have and donate goods that are 3 eras ahead into the future. These goods are unattainable and we do not know any strangers or random players in game that we would feel comfortable asking for a hand out or charity to donate such goods. The Guild Leader is in "Contemporary Era" and to unlock level 2 in GE, it is asking for goods in the "Arctic Future" which none of the members have reached this era and won't do for a long time. This Arctic Future era as mentioned is 3 eras into the future from the Guild Leader.

As a suggestion, why not fix this draconian issue by making the goods requirement, the same era as the Guild Leader, considering the Guild Leader is the only person that can unlock levels? In other words, if the Guild Leader is at Contemporary Era, then the highest goods requirement is also Contemporary Era, making it fair and attainable. This seems like a much simpler solution and prevents the awkward idea of having to contact multiple random players that we do not know and begging them for help, like some pathetic, desperate, poverty stricken loser, just to obtain the goods you need to unlock level 2 in the GE. But if that is the only option, because the developers refuse to fix this and make this attainable at the levels the Guild Leader is currently at, then our guild will be forced to stay locked at only being able to complete level 1 of the GE, which will adversely disadvantage our members from advancing in the game.

Every player in the Guild can donate goods. Not just the Guild Leader. He just unlocks the levels. He does not have to pay all the goods by himself. The costs of unlocking difficulties depends on the age and number of your guild members when the expedition begins. Each player in your guild will generate a cost based on their age. If Arctic goods are required it means that someone in your Guild was in the Arctic Era at the start of the Expeditions.

None of the members have Arctic Future goods. We have had one new member join that is higher than us but he doesn't speak any English and doesn't reply to any messages. Which means if him joining is the cause of our issue and being stuck on level 1, then we will have to kick him out of the guild, otherwise we will be permanently stuck at level 1 because nobody else in the guild has access to goods from eras that are 3 levels into the future.

You need goods from all era's your members are in. If you have 1 member from a higher era you need goods from that era as well. He can donate does goods to the treasury. If he doesn't, it is up to you what you want to do with him.

Right so instead of you Game Developers, doing the right thing and changing and fixing the game mechanic so that the requirement of good is set to the highest era of the Guild Leader, considering the Guilder Leader is the only one that can unlock the levels in GE, instead we now have to discriminate and unfairly judge members of a higher points level than us, by booting them out of the guild because they are not meeting some draconian expectation of being forced to donate goods, to prevent the guild and its members from being locked out of advancing and earning points in higher levels of the GE!!

We will be sure to inform our newest member of what you have said openly and publicly, and we have no doubt that none of our members will appreciate such a stupid and ridiculous position to be put in, of having only 2 choices. We either:

a) Allow the member to stay, even if he doesn't agree to donate any of his goods to the guild, resulting in the guild remaining LOCKED at Level 1 GE - FOREVER... or

b) We ask him to leave and join another guild OR we unfairly kick him out, if he chooses not to donate OR is unable to donate the goods that are required.

If these are our only choices because of your stubborn refusal to fix this fundamentally out dated and stupid system, then you people are bloody idiots and we are done wasting our time discussing this with you!! :mad::mad:

There is nothing wrong with the game mechanics. They have been like this from the start from GE and have been explained to you at the time.

Since this is not a bug I am locking this thread.
