This is nor a future request. IF anyone has ideas there will be supporters or none supporters. Events are killing OSW. If you think about it, earning 2k silver bars every 2 weeks isn't bad right? But no, it is. Firstly, EASILY to recover from strips. EVEN 8t strip is will be easily replaced in 4 weeks. Secondly, you have to hit the EB in order to get reward. MOST players leave there osw clan to go to another clan doing rotation. This destroys OSW as a whole. PvP weekends could be great. Except majority hit open players like honeybanana or banana_splitz which would thought to bring osw more closer. BUT it isn't. You would farm for bombardment. Then constantly pin yourself on the open targets. We only had 1 event free day until our other event /28 (I think) kicked in. Players aiming for top 100 or 10 barely will have sense of RL. There so drawn into the game. Your constantly leaving clan for war, barely hitting your targets. In lowlands selling pots SO much you cant be bothered to buy them again then you get farmed with more failures then your dropping from there. We should at least have a break for couple months. These B2B events are to much. Worser then that, its the same dull format. All the time collecting 2 parts of event items. If you want more players intrigued make it interesting.
Strip banks are easy as hell to make, just make an alt and farm events. Players earn money like its nothing. OP is right. No reason to OSW anymore.
OSW's are still around and will forever be ongoing, far from dead, but as the game advances we have to adapt to the changes, yeah maybe it's easy to make a gold bank or have crazy funds, but at the end of the day it's the same loss as it would be when gold inflation wasn't to bad. As we grow, gold increases. Nothing can be changed unless the developers decide to cut gold per eb.
Look at it from the point of view of the developer, barely any new players are joining and staying to play after a week, they do a terrible job explaining game mechanics to new players, people who have been playing for year still don't know how the game works, devs answer no questions about anything and actual people who are playing the game or continue to show up everyday on the server is being stripped and farmed out of existence or uninstall because of bullying (50 vs 1), keep your target pinned and zeroed for months on end they will get to frustrated to recover and quit the game they are losing long term players and not gaining any new ones who know how to play, will be around after a week, in that context they see osw as destroying player base and the game overall as a whole. Just my thoughts... Look every new player has to be taught how to play even after the tutorial by more experienced players, and no one can explain why they are telling them to do what they are telling them, no one knows exactly how much bfa actually counts to building stats or strength or any definitive formula for calculating it, everything we know comes from the players not the developers, and when asked how do you know, that can't answer is just that's the answer and know one can prove anything
You do realize bc accounts need like a tril in allied for mp right ? And you are talking about 2t every 2 weeks? wow this is sad, osw is far from dead
4 weeks to recover from a 8t strip is still pretty harsh not sure how that kills what OSW is about. Hitting the EBs during osw for funds isn't uncommon, seen a lot of different clans do that in tandem with other actions against whomever. What usually goes on during the weekend events isn't PvP, it's a plunder war for shiny items. Never got the point of leaving for a system war during an off system war, but I do agree the mechanics of how we get items hasn't changed much but there's only so much that can be done without just buying tiers with nobility or xtals. Fixed parts of your post, you have a very well understanding of sentence structure and spelling, only suggestion I have is use a few more commas than periods. There are some things that do hinder cooperation of actions and strips when some members are out on a train run or EE wars. But at the core of it all it comes down to individual choices of the players themselves, I see the events just as simple of a money making system as when it was just high paying EBs being run almost 24/7*coughHtEcough*.
