Like the title says, why do Guilds care so much about these? I’ll even rephrase a little and say that I understand Seals, but you don’t need 30 people chipping in 2k or even 1500 of them to reach 40k.
But Trophies? Why? Literally no use for them at all other than to boost your ladder ranking, which accomplishes….what?
Same with Guild Wars. Any remotely longtime player has all of the rewards from these, so again, why do we care? Why do Guilds care so much? It’s pointless.
I’ll donate gold all day long because everyone benefits from it, but the others?
I’ve been booted from guilds several times, even if I’ve over donated on the gold, because I didn’t meet some stupid trophy requirement for the week or do well in Guild Wars (if I even participated much).
As an ex B1 player from the #1 rankeked GW guild on PS for years the reason was mainly because GW is the only part of the game where pure skill mattered. In all the other bits of the game the AI just has crazy high level teams to play against. In GW the tables are equal. It’s your brains vs the other player who set up the defense’s brains. If they have a team that’s going to wipe you out in a turn, you need to come up with a counter and test it out and tweak it before you play them. That was the challenge. And we had people in our guild who lived and breathed for that challenge. And then even with the hopefully correct team you still had to be a good enough player to make the correct moves to make it function. And I’m talking moves like giving an opponent team a 4skull match because the other option was them casting their book and wiping you.
So yeah at the end of the day it was the actual challenge that people cared about. And the 1500 gems every month didn’t hurt either.
