I didn't realise anyone was against us changing it to be honest. We could put an in-game poll on it if others also would prefer it stayed at 25%?

Poll it, i'm confident it will pass. It's only really a few people "not" happy with it. Although it won't effect them AT ALL...other then liven up the arena and speed it up. Really no need for a poll like this anyway...Whose it negatively effecting?

I just don't quite understand the harm in adding it? Sure arena players want the stagnant arena sped up :). Remember arena is a solo aspect not guild aspect. Used to be plenty of guilds back in the day but now everyone condensed into few guilds. Because of this alot of people haven't been able to join therefore arena is slow :).

Yeah I don't have any real issue with changing it - I think it's good to see what the community as a whole think tho! Poll is up now :)

 

If the community is in favour of the change we'll do it :)

Only 2 of your guild actually play the arena. And that not all the time.

That's not true :), alot of us choose to just not play because we want others to be able to play. Nothing worse than gearing up and or setting your moves up just to see a message saying sorry 25% guild members.

please do change it..we need more players in arena..nothing to collude over.... nothing wrong with letting others play..limiting players in any aspect of the game in its current state is bad for the game..all inclusive is good..or at least 50%

It is only the guild 'Minions of Mirkwood' who want the 25% guild participation limit changed for their benefit. 1 guild against all other guilds. Outvoted from the start.

Leave the rule at 25% please ....

 

OK, folk may trot out the "it'll speed up the arena" - and, whilst that's true, i'd put money on that not being the "real" reason behind the request.

 

If arena strong guilds get the 50% rule, then in, for example, an 8 man arena, they'll enter 4 players.

Of course, there'll be no collusion between them about what those 4 will wear and what moves they'll use to maximise their guilds chances of winning - YEAH RIGHT ...

 

This vote to increase guild participation is, like most "gimme gimme gimme" threads, about making more profit, not about speeding up an area that has, according to a guild mate of mine, already sped up enormously since gold arenas were re-introduced ...

Arena is a solo aspect give me a damn break. Profit in The arena? I thought arena incentive now a days was purely medal.

We can see how the poll goes, but I suspect the majority will actually be against changing it from 25% to 50%.

No one has yet to come forward and explain how the "arena" is a guild activity rather than a "solo" activity. For the sake of debating please do enlighten me. Otherwise I can not find your argument valid for "no"

So you say there'd be no guild collusion in that example of an 8 man arena ?

 

No, "2 of us in defence, 2 of us in armour and combat moves juggled to suit" will happen ?

 

Hmmm, why don't I believe you ?

(and, there's - albeit there have been for ages - talk of new prizes in the arena. That will, unless of course they're all bound, increase profit margins considerably)

Lol, if you can manage to coordinate that i will award you the FS tactician medal of the year. That's just so overly unrealistic that it's not even valid. Besides the match ups are now "Randomized". That's super unrealistic. Besides that wouldn't even work lol. Everyone knows you get the most success rate in no move arenas in purely armor dmg...and with moves you use purely defense. Doing said method would give absolutely no advantage. Still stand firm on arena being a SOLO aspect.

I'm actually very interested in the poll results :). The game should reward activity not discourage it...That's my thought anyway. If active enough any guild would have the same problem. It's human nature to beable to empathize but many people lack it unfortunately. One of the few characteristics that distinguish humans from robots. What is a guild only allowed a max of 4 arena players? Absurd. You said yourself apparently "none" of us really play anyhow :P.

 

Only 2 of your guild actually play the arena. And that not all the time.
