Because the plunder spells and br would last longer. They want as much as they can. But I agree start times should be instant.
I'm willing to pay for a faster start time ...like a spell for 20 nobs or something. Do crowd funding deal like on ZTA everyone in clan chips in.
Personally I feel like the 15 min startup is fine however if people are willing to pay for it then sure I see no reason why the startup could be shortened/skipped.
It would make ATA hella lot more money lol ....maybe make cost for HTE & ZTA startup time more and a cheap ass spell for t1-t3 EBs so as to control inflation a little and lessen advantage for big spenders 20 nobs for t1-t3 and something more then 59 nobs for HTE & ZTA
Or hell just reduce startup times for t1-t3 permanently without spells ...keep it at 15min for bigger EBs
I like and dislike the idea of lower tier ebs being shorter. While it's a good way for active starter clans to get people starting quicker there is also the smaller amount of regen provided by there being a shorter starting time. This could be a problem for less active clans but overall I think it would be positive.
Lesser active clans or clans with small rosters SHOULD be at a disadvantage ...this would probably help eliminate some small shell clans and force new players to interact/join a bigger clan ...I see no disadvantage
