Bringing 1000 people to one place in 3 days, despite PvP wars that have ignited on and off for years... Sounds like the community coming together for one goal to me. That goal being, win the event.

Its not a community event. Its a winner take all event. Everyone joining 1 guild completely defeats the purpose of the event in the first place. The Forgotten Treasure event was a community event. This being because EVERYONE in the community worked together to acquire the vanity helm that we were rewarded. The way people are going about this event is just an exploitation to accquire what they otherwise wouldnt in whatever small guild they were in. They will leave as soon as they get what they want. Thats just abusing the system and the people in your guild. Thats not "coming together as a community"

Rings are very rare to drop even with 100% luck in Maxx cave. Others have also requested rings for this same reason. They are needed to complete the sets, so it makes sense.

Why does it matter if everyone joined the same guild? I feel as tho you are just mad because you were wanting reborn to win so you could make tons of gold off the white dragon sets since the guild would have a monopoly over them

Why would i be mad?? Im not mad that reborn isnt gonna win at this point. Already know that. But for people to say that this is a community event, is wrong. Its dividing the community even more and making other use people to acquire something else they otherwise wouldnt. The whole point of the event was guild vs guild. Not 1 guild vs EVERYONE else. %85-95 of the people that have joined PC since this event was announce, will leave after because they EXPLOITED the event. They are just using PC. Thats a reason Reborn didnt open its doors to randoms that just want to join to use us.

Dont forget. Sts probably is gonna charge 2k plat or more just to even craft the white drag set. Not gonna waste that much $$ on 1 set just to put it on an alt or to sell.

Because the concept of a guild VS guild event has been exploited, it is most definitely not a guild competition. No challenge. No fun in having a face off VS other guilds. No competition. Very nice awards, however! Easy as pie to "win". Just could've been done differently to make it truly a fun and fair guild VS guild event, one that lived up to the definition of a guild VS guild competition. Thank you, though. The new vanities, discounted guns and elite gear for gold will be truly appreciated.

It's not being used if no one is negatively affect. Players from all United to get a sweet vending machine. People happened to choose PC, due to the already high activity. When the event is wrapped up, everyone will be happy. No one expects all the uniting members to stay in PC. Some will stay, some will go, but in the end no one was used because no one got hurt.

The Guild Event is a gold sink. It�s not particularly aggressive but it will have an impact on merchant players operating at various points along the trade spectrum.

Hello .. Mr Cinco
Thank you for this clarification on the reason for the guild event ... but wouldn't everyone having access to the vendor be better if we need a gold sink?
Thank You, Imrandy

So all those people that just joined your guild just to sit and do nothing to HELP, thats not hurting you? This no longer is a guild vs guild event. Its just exploitation of another guild.

So if i go and use somebody for money that i otherwise couldnt accquire. Thats not exploitation or using them? Love that logic.

That would be a better way to go about it. Give us a certain amount of points to attain either solo or as a COMMUNITY to acquire the vendor access. Would make much more sense.

You assume very low of a whole lot of very good people that have no intention of not trying to farm the gear they need and these new vanities...

Them joining our guild isn't costing anyone money. Majority of those who joined are actually extremely active pve players, and it would be highly unlikely for these pve, leaderboard ranked players to sit back and let the rest of the population have all the pve fun.

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.

A number set in place that the community as a whole must hit to unlock the vendor. Example being maybe 50,000 total score.

Directly after the initial announcement, MANY players were actually encouraging people to unite with active members. There was even a suggestion to make a new guild just for this event and fill it with the most active of members. Now that, that has been done... There is back lash? Filling an already established guild with active members is equivalent to starting a brand new guild and doing the SAME thing. I may be missing something but it seems like we just took some great advice.

key words here. Directly after the announcement. Not 24hrs. Not 2 days. Not currently where we stand right now. None of them anticipated the exploitation of everyone joining the sam guild lol.

It was suggested but not expected?

**Mine AGK** · 05-06-2018, 06:11 PM

My key words are EVERYONE. EVERYONE that is active joined 1 guild. Thus making it no longer a guild vs guild competition. Not to mention the fact that white drag sets are CHARACTER bound. Not even stashable lol.

It was suggested a guild increase activity with extremely active players. Pocket Community has done just that. I just think the guild blew the expectation, of many players, out of the water.

It goes without saying that as always, PL players will always find a way to exploit any situation they can. This major event is no exception. However the devs called it a guild VS guild competition, and they probably didn't anticipate that there would be absolutely no competition whatsoever. That my friends, is exploitation at its finest. And because of that, the current dynamics of this "competition", make it a fail before takeoff. But, yes, the ezpz rewards (because there's no challenge) are there for all for the taking. Enjoy and gz, you earned it.

If your guild was the one everyone was joining you wouldn't be mad.... You just can't accept you aren't winning this event

That's not the point at all. In the end we will all reap the same rewards. We turned away everyone who wanted to join us because this isn't a free for all guild. The issue at hand is that there are no metrics in place to ensure a guild VS guild competition. I believe I've made this clear many times already.
