I don't really care about the fragments. It will have little impact for some time to come because I simply won't be able to build it.
Going up in the standings within a battleground gets you ONE more fragment. Going from last to first I would surmise gets you 7 more fragments. I did not look at that, so I might be wrong. Little difference.
Finally got the guild results though. That was worth it. But again, little difference in your standing within a battlefield. So again, last place, as long as I do the 40 encounters is more than sufficient.
AS to going up a league, no thanks! I'm in a very small guild with only 4 members. I am the only one in the guild who did any encounters. I am the only one in all 6 guilds that did any encounters. I took the guild from level 1 to level 9. But I very much doubt I will do any better than last place in the Silver League, not by myself, so why would I try to do more?
50% probability of getting a fragment actually. Not 25%. At least in the copper league. But that is individual reward, not to be confused with guild reward. I got 43 fragments on the world I played by myself in total. That's good enough for me! Don't forget, at this stage of play, I hardly expect to be able to build the Statue for some time to come. So don't belittle me for not wanting more. Because the reality is, I'm not going to get more, not at this point. I've only been playing for a few weeks, have only 120,000 points. And considering that I gain from 15,000 to 30,000 points every championship, on each of 3 worlds, that should be enough said.
And 40 encounters, that is nothing for me to be able to do. 134 on one world, 72 on another, and 139 on my 3rd world. Two level III GEs completed and a level IV. Approximately 450 battles won, Iron Age champion in 1 world 3 times out of the last 4 weeks, Iron Age champion on another 2 times now I think, not much luck on the 3rd world as of yet, but I do finish in the top 5 every week, despite most of the battles only getting me 216 points. Add in the cultural settlement work. I have 3 GBs built on 1 world, with 3 more in the wings with a complete set of blueprints. I have 3 and 4 on the other worlds build, almost all are to level 10 or higher. I have at least a dozen sitting there with a complete set of blueprints. Then there is no quantifying the number of players I've helped, not only in my guilds, but on my friend's list and even my neighbors. This is what it takes to be able to criticize me for my choices, and choices that I stated here that I chose to make or will choose to make. These are my choices. If my guild chooses to do more than 40 encounters in the next battlefield, in an effort to finish first, then I will be right there to help them. That is also my choice and one I freely make. But I will not ask my guild members or my guild mates to even do 1 encounter in the guild battlefield when there is such little difference between first and last place within a battlefield, no matter what the league is. Not while I can get almost the same results by myself. The cost is too high!
