Help each other - Run easy Guild War defenses!

[Jerry]

The Guild Wars are back.
On their first day, my guild ran into the brick wall of highly optimised defense setups, which due to the attack limitations made it feel even worse than the old format.
On the second day, the guild we are meeting has set up minimal defenses (for example a single Fire Bomb) all across their members.

The contrast couldn't be more blatant, and it is a joy and relief to see such a selfless act. We are debating now to copy the approach in the future, and (me obviously being strongly in favour of it) I would urge any of you, who wants to make the game feel a little less awful, to carry the suggestion into your own guilds too.

We would not even have thought about it, if we had not come across a guild, that handles things generously. Any guild joining in means a greater chance to "infect" others.
And if that does not convince you yet, imagine the faces of the developers, if we do collectively refuse to play along. :-)

Loved the old 4x Firebombs or Treasure Troop teams for PvP back then. It was such a relieve and made the grind for glory and tier 1 so much more doable and granted you revenge battles for some gold and an event key.

But how PvP has changed know to cater to try-hards I doubt it will take off.

It's a bit late to change during the current run, I know. But I am really convinced this is a case of "lead by example". I see it as possible, at least outside the fanatics up on the top ranks. And I'm pretty sure, my guild can and will switch to such a tactic the next time and stick with it.

The worst it costs you are maybe two or three weeks of losses, until you reach ranking regions where you can outscore the other guild through activity, and maybe 1-2 gold marks per win from ranked percentage. On the plus side, there is a better game for all of us.
