GvG System: Disincentive to Play

What's NOT fine is the way the non-consensual GvG system interferes with the play experience of new players who aren't abusing the rules by playing multiple accounts.
This has been my experience. I was invited to join a non-GvG oriented guild. Within a day or so of that, GvG guilds realized I was the weak link in my guild, and used outrageously overgeared twinks parked at certain level intervals to attack me seemingly 24/7 and "win" GvG conflicts. This resulted in my gear being constantly broken. I tracked well over 1,000 attacks on me in a 72 hour period.
The players who attacked me generally had full hellforged legendaries, and this is pre-level 20, even pre level 10! The characters in question may have been parked at that level for a very long time, used specifically for the purpose of "winning" GvG conflicts.
As my gold was dwindling at a precipitous rate from repairs, faster than I could make it, I finally felt I had no choice but to drop the guild. And being forced out of my guild does not sit well with me.
I am close to quitting, which I am sure will trouble no one, but I think the situation is a shame as done properly, the GvG system could have made the game much more fun for me, instead of being a deal-breaker.
(Adding insult to injury, I cannot even join a new guild since leaving my old one since there is apparently some ongoing GvG conflict that over 8 hours later still hasn't been resolved. )

a good guild would have provided you with decent or better gear to help prevent this ,and in cases like yours where the repairs cost more gold then you can make hunting the guild should of helped you with cost of repairs.
find a better guild ,and level out of the main GvG range.
i'm not going to deny that i'm part of this problem because well i am ,but until HCS changes it i will continue to stay at my current level and GvG there is way to much profits to be made to not do this.
i have de-leveled myself almost 500 levels just for this reason lol

that is as much your old guilds fault as it is HCS fault.

Seriously his guilds fault? How are any of the much smaller guilds that can barely gear themselves supposed to gear new players as well, and help him pay for repairs, if he is being targeted I would bet good money they are to! While you get rich raping all these new players and continue to drive players from the game based on Greed, the game as a whole will lose more players than join. Thanks for helping drive nails into the coffin!

i wouldn't be sad in the least if HCS changed it so i could not exploit it anymore ,but until that happens i will continue to do so.
i'm not greedy at all i don't need the fsp from this ,and the main reason i do this is to prove how flawed the system is maybe if enough players complain about it HCS will change it.
also there is far to many smaller guilds players should realize what making a guild involves before they make one.

All I'm doing is working with what you gave me, nothing more.

your taking my words out of context.
I am sorry but you are wrong. That is EXACTLY what you said.
