@Laxhill, find me a difference between a ghost guild and a demolition guild please? A ghost guild is temporary, a demolition guild is permanent, that is the only difference. the actions they take are exactly the same.
@wurdsmiff, you agree that the change is needed but say we are bullying people into agreeing with us? You shouldn't give into peer pressure so easily if that's the case
. Clearly you agree that change is needed, as do many others. Developers choose not to listen, we choose to make them listen. The more people who get damaged by these demolition guilds, the more that will come to the forums and complain. Anybody who dislikes demolition guilds obviously shares the opinion of the members in The Elite, that opinion being that change is needed.
@Gate2, agreed, you can't please everybody all of the time. However your view on these sort of guilds being a way of adapting to GvG Is still something I disagree with. This is not adapting to GvG, not GvG that people expected at least. What you have done is not to adapt to GvG, but to adapt to the bad design that GvG has. You said yourself that the reason you took this route was because you were tired of being on the butt end of others doing the same thing. That to me says that you shared the original thought, of what GvG was going to be, as the rest of us had. You planned on playing in that manner, then you had to adapt to a different way of play because GvG turned out to be a farce.
Ghost guilds, demolition guilds and all the rest of it exist because of the siege costs in GvG. Without these sort of guilds, GvG stagnates because of the siege costs. Kill to birds with one stone, change siege costs. These guilds no longer exist, and GvG doesn't stagnate due to the loss of them.
