Concerning Mega-Guilds and the Conquest System.

Yes.

The people in the mega guilds are paying to play the same content as you are.

Being beaten in the conquest table is one thing, being locked out of it is a different issue altogether.

Well, that's just like, your opinion, man.

You are correct.

It is my opinion that everyone paying to play this game, should be able to play it as much as the next person.

Choosing what type of content you like is fine, I pvp and craft exclusively, that is my choice to not run pve scripted encounters, I find them boring.

I do not believe for one minute though that there are people out there who think that I should not be given the choice to do that content.

That is exactly the same as what you are advocating in locking out "mega-guilds".

Also remember this, "mega-guilds" are generally full of less than mega players and rarely have the necessary affiliation to work together.

However, I would not be surprised if you thought differently.

I think you mean "coordination" lol.

You win the dumb quote of the week award. If you want to join a guild that offers a variety of chances to do end-game content, you won't find that in a tiny guild. And you won't find any of the casual players from "mega-guilds" taking over planets. It'll be the progression raid teams (PLURAL) who take down nightmare content on a weekly basis.

This is cool idea, really really a easy and simple solution. But there is a problem, in the new log system you are able to see the conquest point of every player, so for example at the last day you can kick out people with low point to increase your avarage. But you can solve the problem leaving the number of "playining character" and "conquest point earned" do not change if someone leave or join at mid stage of an event.

Bad idea: guilds would kick all but their most hardcore players to keep their average high. I would like to see some diminishing returns for contributions to larger guilds though.

And they will kick hardcore for? Some ugly mount and an achievement? I don't think so. If you "lock" at the beginning of the week the number of the player that a guild have in the event and you still count kick player you have the problem solved.

Or they can set some squadron dependig on how much player you have (still you must lock at the beginning of the event)

Or they can give key (bronze?) to player that will partecipate in the event and give contribution to the guild setting a max (20 or 30). This can be fair, and also add even more strategy to the system.

You're not getting it. If they were to take the average points contributed by guild members, then many guildies would be detracting from the guild's status by doing missions, rather than contributing to it. That's a terrible system.

yes, but if you design the system correctly, with some math, you can see that this will be not happen.

If you count just account at the beginning of the week, and the you lock the number of course you have to divide it for that number. So every single point will increase the ammount of the avarage.

Main problem in that case is that inactive mates for that week will lower the ammount. But this system is in any case more fair. And can be even more if you can give a "weekly bronze key" to the one that will partecipate in the next event.

You can mix these kind of thing to tune the fairness of the whole thing.
