Please don't take my statement out of context. I'll chalk this up right now as a failure on my part to properly convey my point.
The large group has +25% to the convoy runs
The smaller group has +0 to the convoy runs
The large group never gets plundered
The smaller group always gets plundered
Where do you think players will want to go?
The Rank 1 that has three active players or the Rank 7 that has thirty active players?
One can get into the GNW and the other can't.
And please don't judge me, you don't know me. I was never always on top. I actually started a week or two late in the server. People leave but for a while I was the one being hunted in Sage World. :@
Honestly the mods should close this thread. You are obviously not going to convince people here and we have two polarized viewpoints. While it would be great to have multiple groups in the GNW it won't happen.
I didn't bring up American dreams, I brought up American psyche as a collective whole and why subjecting one self to defeat after defeat with LESS rewards than the victor doesn't help. You don't ever actually bring up a way against the Top 15 forming a power bloc. If the top 15 forms a power bloc then sheer numbers from bonus rewards would be the only way to handle that. So if the 15 had 30 members and qualify for activity and the other group has 70 members and qualify but they bring 45 members to show up against the 20 and lose but the group with 45 members showing up would slowly outpace the 15 power bloc.
If you want people to break off into smaller groups one needs to be given incentive to do so and big defeat screens is not incentives.
The Top 15 having 1 group means they will always be in power; in the current system. Period. Server merging will actually help fix this problem as these large groups also have one thing going. Loyalty from the membership. So, yes to additional rewards as this would make it so people to actually show up.
First even if you get plundered you still get points.
with 25% extras per week Winning group gets 37.5 points
with no extras per week normal group gets 25 full points and 20 being plundered.
Is that a huge difference? the answer is NO.
Winning group doesn't plundered? this is wrong, me being not in the top group plundering the top group and winning all the time, same goes with my group mates.
If you are looking this at a short period of time then yes, being in the top tier group will always reap you benefit. But as i've mentioned earlier you are playing game for months maybe years, so having to break yourself from the band wagon is indeed a good move to both the player progress in the long run as well as the server healthy competition again IN THE LONG RUN.
So period, NO additional rewards is needed this is due to the human flaws always wanting to be at the top without putting any real effort. The system is there to reward you if you really put an effort.
I hope this will help new players / those who are currently going with the band wagon to breakthrough and make a difference.
P/S : If you have only 3 group participating in GNW now 5 new group that got created and participate in the qualification will be automatically qualified to the final and getting reward. How would they not able to participate in GNW? Activity rate? meh, even 10-15 ppl is enough to get activity rate required to join GNW and they will be getting packs every week instead of 1 pack per month being with the bigger group.
