Yes, already forwarded - more than a year ago !! Still happening though, apparently.

the league system is indeed broken and all guilds end up in the top league eventually. There should be some changes to leagues and other things like attrition exploits and breaking the pinning/swap fests in some way (bomb idea interesting...)battlegrounds was a great introduction to the game and really got me hooked, however a year and a bit later it needs something.
the gap between guilds in the 1000 lp has become too large so all we see now are huge swaps fests and very little fighting. maybe it’s time for a winners round where the winners of each group get placed with each other to fight it out.
what about something to break up these big swap fests as well, maybe a bomb that can be used by a guild once a day to break the lock on any sector next to them ?
Here's an example of what's happening right now - we're in Diamond, 2 big teams have joined forces and are blocking everyone else out of the game. How? Directly in front of our base sector, one of the 2 big teams holds it. It's been attacked by the other big team, but sits at 159/60. The sectors to the left and right of that are the same. The row of sectors in front of those are also the same. There are currently 17 sectors like this and counting - all over the middle and down to the edges which block any other guild doing anything. So note, it's not me have a moan on behalf of our guild - it's all the other guilds as well. Shortly they'll do swaps, where the 2 teams finish off the sectors they've targeted as swaps. When they have swapped, then they'll wait the required amount of time and again put 159/160 on each others. If anyone else attack (can't until unlocked), then they'll just take one early. Result? Only 2 of the teams can do any real attacking. No other guild is able to do anything - This is why it's killing the game and guilds just give up in GBG.
How do you plan to police that? What would be the exact criteria? How are you going to distinguish between a slow Guild, a Guild holding off for strategic reasons (in a full blown war. ie: trying to get the timers set to their advantage), a Guild picking which fights they can win and a Guild that's actually swapping?Totally agree, Inno should ban sector swapping between guilds, it it totally ruining the game for those of us who enjoy GBG (or used to).
So your point is change the game cos you are losing.....?Yep, completely understand. I"m just trying to 1) point out the inequalities, 2) suggest a possible solution. I'm not saying that the solution is terrific, but just suggesting something that may address some of the inequaity of the GBG element. Forums are notorious for, and seem to be a magnet for criticising and it's all too easy to do that. It's far better to come up with some ideas that can be knocked around. I'm happy for any possible solutions to be put forward, even if they're knocked out because of sound reasoning and debate, but at least we've thought about them.
In response to the inequality caused when two or more guilds dominate the Battleground merly not for the fight or to assist their Guild but purely for personal gain, i would like to see INNO address this issue, without their intervention this feature will go the same way as the PVP tower. There are two ways that they can start to address this issue.
1. To remove the SCs from battleground, this will make swapping less attractive to those Guilds that do swap.
2. That INNO police it properly and ban swapping, failure to comply results in ever increasing bans for those guilds that defy the ban.
The alternative is for all the guilds that genuinely want to fight on a fair basis irrespective of their size or ranking to leave battlegrounds or stop taking part and to send complaints via tickets to INNO demanding they act. One or two is not going to make INNO take notice, several Hundred tickets would.
I welcome any thoughts, but please do not be insulting, if you disagree please present your argument in a logical and adult way, I am also open to proper alternative suggestions
I don't want guilds banned, just the right to fight fairly , my Guild is not small, but when two guilds dominate a battleground and swap, keeping all other guilds from playing then that is sheer greed, the fact that many players in these guilds are using scripts or macros just shows how greedy they are and are willing to ignore the rules, this is not for the guild, it is for personal gain, By playing in this way so they will eventually be the downfall of the gamethis sounds like a valid solution *sarcasm*
lets ban big guilds from the game, so that the little guys can play out of all the stupid illogical ideas, this one wins the
how about you instead stop sitting in a small guild, and join bigger ones, or merge with many small guilds to form a formidable guild, that can actually do more then depend on the mercy of others?
yes you are right, us big guilds, can't wait to stop playing GBG, and to send tickets and sprout the idea of us getting banned, because you dream to be a big boss of a crap guild, and can't fight as a result of it
Only good idea so far.3. timers on sectors could be randomised between 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5 and 4 hour lengths, so it is harder to predict for swapping parties.
It would still benifit more to bigger players. So no need.1. reduce the frequency of the harder negotiations. less 6, maybe less 5's and certainly more 4's I believe this will help lower-level players compete.
Naah no need . its good for those who just want one of it .2, have all buildings available from one map rather than split across two. (you could remove gold and supplies from the list if needs be, we dont need those
Its alright as now.4. more building rewards of the elephant and statue for all the lower ranked leagues and lower ranked placing in the final tally.
Thats not gonna do anything.5. spread the gain for guild reputation so more can be attained by lower placed guilds so they can build the guilds faster.
Actually small guild is not the real problem.this sounds like a really good solution *sarcasm* ... yes, lets ban people for using SCs, because small guilds are to small to fight the big guilds how about a 3rd solution? you merge and form bigger guilds, and then are able to do more then sit in a corner a?
Its inequality just because guilds are making alliances. It is kind of guild pushingNo inequality in battlegrounds.. you either can or you can’t fight in the highest league, if you can’t u drop down if you can you can stick around, reference Siege camp support every guild is in the same boat, you spend your goods you get more fights, you can choose to farm with or fight with your opponents, with the map design the devs could add 2 builds slots on front of every HQ so there more equality in that respect..
And about dropping its by wasting 14 daysNo inequality in battlegrounds.. you either can or you can’t fight in the highest league, if you can’t u drop down if you can you can stick around, reference Siege camp support every guild is in the same boat, you spend your goods you get more fights, you can choose to farm with or fight with your opponents, with the map design the devs could add 2 builds slots on front of every HQ so there more equality in that respect..
