    Yeah, it's definitely just you

    You could make a guild right now and get the most active players in the game and win the whole thing. Amount and activity are very different. That aside I think that there should be a Gamewide goal. A number set in place that the community as a whole must hit to unlock the vendor. Example being maybe 50,000 total score.

    Definitely not just you. Any active guild can win.
    Winner will be the guild with Active members

    That's saying every other guild, besides the one that wins, doesn't have quality players... guilds that focus on quality over quantity are put at a huge disadvantage. No way around it...

    Drae why do you all of a sudden have a change of heart if any guild can win?
    Is it because you no longer have the most memebers so you are at a disadvantage?

    Scroll back a page or two, you'll see the answers you seek. Have a nice day.

    I dislike the idea because it's not inclusive to all guilds, but rather only a select few who could win based solely on numbers.
    Reborn is a closed group guild. Membership is exclusive and is decided collectively by the guild and its officers. Our goal will never be to tear apart other guilds. We are content with the quality of our guildies and will not be aiming for other players from other guilds; As we have done so since our beginning.

    Secondly: All guilds with active players who will actively grind out this event have a fair chance at winning. This is where Quality and hard work will shine over quantity and statistics.

    I agree with what sunny said. Make it the top 25-50 guild to get the rewards larger guild has more players to run the map at 1 time. Smaller guilds would have to grind alot more to achieve the same results as a larger guild with 2x the amount of active players. Or a nice thing would be brackets if available. So depending on the amount of guild members determines what teir you would be in. So that means guild with less members have just as much chance to achive 1st in their own bracket.

    I do like the bracket idea for sure!

    Guild competition like this isn’t fair. The score should have been based on individual players. Individual players should have the option of buying items once they reach a certain score. Why gold? Why not plat? If it was plat and each individual player was able to purchase it with plat or gold , imagine how many players will buy the items. If the sets were reachable to me, I and many will spend quite a lot of plat on the items. A lot I should say, more than stat guns.

    I still strongly believe a brand new guild made for this could win, irregardless of even being close to the top 50 in the current guild leaderboard. The panic seems a bit unreal. The challenge seems fair. In the end, I don't care how the requirements work, the event is a grand idea, offers a fun experience and will result in more elite 105 weapons and amulets in the global market. Something to appreciate, for sure.

    New guilds are irrelevant, people are in the guild they are in for the reason they are there... a few players shouldn't have to compete with many.

    Such a change in heart. But glad you got your head straight now. This event is not fair at all.

    Thank you. The anticipation was that people would try their best in their own guilds, not flock to one guild to exploit the concept of a guild VS guild event. But yes, I am glad we're all on the same page now.

    Thank you everyone for contributing to this important topic at hand.

    If players cannot afford the gold prices for the Prize Vendor, I do hope their Guilds will help them out :-)

    We gave away millions in gold to our members today in Pocket Community. Hope they do as intended and budget until the event. Definitely seen many flocking around the CS though :"D

    Another concern about the gold used to purchase items, is that the gold doesn't stay in the game, it simply evaporates. Vanishes from the game. Isn't gold overall in short enough supply already for the majority of players? And tori the teller, her prices are so far outdated based on the current economy, she's not going to help print new currency in the game unless her offerings are updated drastically. I guess deflation will happen over time, but it will likely have a depressive impact on the economy for a while. You could please both parties by offering the gold items for plat in addition to gold, and perhaps make something like a special lottery to put the spent gold back into the game.

    And the plurality of the word "guild" is not lost upon us.

    I stand by my original comment.

    The guild with the most amount of players running the maps will be the winner.

    For example, a guild with 10 members on at once each could run the maps 10 seconds faster than a guild with 30 members on at once running the maps. However, the guild with 30 members online at once running the maps will win in the end simply due to the numbers game. Quality is subjective. I would say that the 10 members each completing the map 10 seconds faster than the 30 are the players with the higher quality value (if all factors are equal).

    This is a great event idea, but the current idea for the challenge is simply highly flawed in my opinion.

    I think both Sunny and Plpr's ideas are much better challenges/ideas and will get everyone involved in the event.
