Guild Wars - Sneak Peek VI

Here’s an action they can take:

1-Admit that there’s nothing they can do about it and be honest with us.
2-Don’t setup new game modes using the same exploitable framework.
3-Ask us to spend money on said new game mode when they know exploits are happening.

1- Stating the obvious is really that important to your ego? They, the devs, might as well do it because PVP is not even close to be a competition that could bear some impact on gameplay since it became a “friendly cesspoll where evebody wins something even when they are losing”, and that opened the doors for a much more serious exploit as of late…

2- It’s not the same, the number of battles is set. The results of these battles can be slightly skewed towards people who have more status by either being long time veterans + guild bonuses + Sentinels… But as the cost for the last levels of bonus is very prohibitive can you figure the math that USUALLY the bonuses from the Sentinels will not be something ever present? Now, if the Sentinels could be upgraded with GOLD ONLY as some people certainly desire, then it certainly would be a constant, and lame i must add, part of this new feature gameplay. Now your right conclusion about:

@htismaqe

The problem is not that account sharers can exploit Guild Wars through playing time because as you said, the amount of fights are fixed. They can, however, use the MASSIVE amounts of free resources they’ve racked up, for themselves and from their guilds, to outspend everybody else in the game on Sentinels. It’s garbage. The whole justification for the new Guild Task system was to stop the exploitation and it hasn’t stopped.

Yes, some people have no morals and will even spin excuses such as “They never stated it was against the rules.” to protect their wicked interests… I’m as much outraged, or even more, than you over it, but that’s not the place to express it or “try to sabbotage” the GW because they haven’t, yet, said something about what they are doing over it. They probably can’t share every detail with us so far because… how do i put it?.. Ah, they want to get people “Red Handed”.

3- They didn’t asked for it, in fact, maybe they won’t get a single penny from the players. But they surely should try because the game is a business…

It looks a lot more like Bubble Witch Saga and every other F2P game out there, which to me at least, is a shame. It’s definitely NOT Puzzle Quest or Warlords, and as a lifelong Steve Fawkner fan, that’s disheartening.

I can only imagine Sirrian unconsolated in his office, his crying being cut by heavy hiccups while Ninhaim is outside asking if everything is okay… Ok, i must apologize beforehand, just in case, and i can understand your passion.

But sometimes delving very far into it is not exactly helpful. I know that you, me and others would like instant solutions to be applied to every problem we find in the game, but on the other hand the game needs to keep it’s flow of new features at a reasonable speed to keep things fresh and attractive, so we must bear with it. And i’m honestly inclined to believe that the devs are working on the exploits as it does undermines the profitable chances the game has, but as i said they are not discussing it with us because they certainly have reasons.

@Sirrian if X guild has ALL Guild Wars bonus and Y guild has only half the bonus will Y guild get more points for beating that team? Hope you understand what I’m trying to ask lol. A little incentive to maybe not level every sentinel if it means your guild could end up ranked higher than the one who upgraded every bonus

I could see it as some criteria to avoid draws for a given place. Let’s say that Guild X and Y ends up with the same number of points for the 1st Place, if they don’t change the code of how the points per battle works, because it would be easier to add lines of code to calculate tie breakers i think.
