I feel I need to reiterate that guild hansels themselves are not the main issue with that, its the current mechanics of them in ee wars. The lack of plunder and ability to hit accounts way larger and make tons while the bigger guy hitting back makes nothing. Fixes need to be put in place to fix this, if this happens you will no longer see those clans dominating with lbs and towered guild hansels.
I like Lady_Liz's argument for making EE wars more enticing for players, win or lose. As far as badly matched teams, I think there is a little confirmation bias at work here. I believe the majority of teams are well matched. There are a few outliers and those are the voices we see in the forums. So it seems like the system is completely out of whack. But if the well matched teams were to join in, I believe their chorus would drown out all the others. I suppose it's a matter of the devs minimizing "No match" over "badly matched". They could definitely improve their algorithm if they had a larger sample size. As it is, they are limited to about 40-45 clans on the best of days.
on the guild hansel issue! The thing is with gh... u build a hlbc gh each building costs u about a simple billion. U get best plunder available on ebs and u kill in ee cus if u hit a bigger opponent u get a huge payout but when i hit you i get 5/10 milli a hit. I used on my lowlands about 15B a building and on hl about 180B a building. So what makes it fair a gh earning or doin better then me in war?
+ While i spended a shitload gold on buildings to get huge stats and have many towers which make my plunder suck? Guilds dont have a place in highlands imo delete them make t4 minimum allowed there. And your gh problem is solved
Btw you messed up your hit ratio thing with the t6 lands devs. Gh just added towers on hf and now in war even gh are able to hit me and i am able to hit them gh are counted as medium hansels now thx to the t6 they still pay bad but are able to hit huge hlbc hansels so they plunder more and more smart move!
a thought re gh exploit: maybe have bfe diminished by 2% for every guild owned ... warring with 40 guilds? enjoy tryng to war with your bfe at 20% of normal. I think a simple fix like this is needed.
