I posted a few ideas on how to encourage weekly changes in defence teams in these threads: > [@New Events that actually change something](http://community.gemsofwar.com/t/new-events-that-actually-change-something/24171): > > Melodramatic pre-amble So… another week and another weekly event… and another two slices of troops getting a +25% stat boost… which, this week, buffs some scary things… These weekly stat gains generally do one of two things: buff the meta or overpowered troops that are getting heavy use and make things a bit worse for us all; or buff underpowered troops that don’t get used, and hey they still don’t get used and we notice little change… There’s a third way; just occasionally, they: buff th… > [@Idea: vary Events by player / incentivise defences](http://community.gemsofwar.com/t/idea-vary-events-by-player-incentivise-defences/24334): > > So here’s an idea. Pre-amble Biggest recurring gripe with this game in my 2.5 years playing it has always been the lack of variety of PvP enemy teams. Yes, a meta will emerge, but a game with 350 troops should be able to get more than 10 of these viable in the end-game. The nature of the game, and dumbness of the AI, means that people will put up insta-kill or other grief defences as the only real way to passively gain any rewards from defence wins - as well as just being plain nasty … Variety in all PvP, and especially GW, would be a great addition to the long term appeal of the game. Even the most devoted fans get tired of playing two or three teams in _every_ match… I dislike the ideas of boosting troops or rewards based on frequency / infrequency of use. That feels artificial and probably leads to weeks of random crap, and ages studying this week’s unfashionable bracket to see what could almost make a team there. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/guild-war-variety/24867)._
