I don't see anyone whining but you must understand the game from a neutral point of view than your own if you wanna talk about game changes, only a small percentage of GVGers can say they would gvg without material reward. You must understand that for people who spend or have other ways to earn fsp, GVG is a hobby and they can truly fight for honor without worrying about the costs. For the rest, you must understand gvg is more of a full time role. The level 50s, 100s, 200s etc are not leveling and devoting their stam into GVG and without pay they will run out of funds to buy buffs.
Oh really? For some odd reason that triggers me. I am a level 200 odd and yes I DO GVG and devote all of my stam into it. No I dont care whether Im payed or not. I simply just do it without expecting payment or anything because its what I enjoy. Thats it. I do what I enjoy and leave it at that.
Rye, this is an amazing idea to bring GvG back to life for the guilds that dont do it as they have no real reason to. This gives them that reason.
I will however say that if you were to get to the Top 25's and just dont go anywhere is not great. Maybe offer a 1 or 2 stam gain for those that get to the top 25 full stop. Doesnt matter if they get the top 3 or whatever. That way, you get some sorta reward for being that high up. I reckon the rewards should be:
Gold: +8 Stam Gain ( +1 on the Hoof Hammer)
Silver: +6 Stam Gain
Bronze: +4 Stam Gain
Top 25's: +2 Stam Gain.
Keeps it somewhat in line with whats currently in game and gives guilds a boost/need/want for coming top 25.
As for the RP, anything to expand it and make it more relevant is great.
