So a guild needs 80 million GP to participate in the Geonosis Territory Battle.
This is claimed to be to give the smaller guilds something to aim for. But it won't work like that.
You honestly think that if a guild is on 70 million, all the members will happily sit there and think to themselves "oh, we have something to strive for"? And not "oh, I need to find another guild"?
They then leave making it even harder for the remaining players to qualify. Suddenly the guild drops to 65 million and more players start wondering about whether they'd be better in another guild.
All that happens is that smaller guilds are punished.
But there's no need for that.
It's claimed that the participation requirement is to give smaller guilds something to aim for but excluding players doesn't achieve that. Before my current guild could defeat the Heroic Tank, we had something to aim for but we could still TRY. We could start the Heroic Tank every so often, see how well we would, and then go back to the normal Tank for a few more weeks. And now we have reached the point where we kill the Tank in less than 2 hours.
But all those failed attempts weren't wasted. They didn't put us off. Nobody thought "I can't access this game content because I've thrown my lot in with this guild so I better now leave". We tried, we failed, we picked ourselves up, we tried again.
Why not allow us to try the Geonosis Territory War and fail? What's wrong with that?
That would be far more encouraging as it would at least show guilds what they are missing, where they are failing and show people what is needed. But by not allowing that, it remains a closed door. It's like saying to people that you can't even watch the Olympics if you didn't qualify.
I agree that the requirement isn't necessary. You can launch a HSTR any time you have the coins for it. That never was a problem in and of itself. You can test the content and see your readiness or simply enjoy the experience at the expense of guild coins put into it...and in this case foregoing another TB you can do.
The requirement is CG trying to make it foolproof for those who shouldn't get anything out of it anyway just to avoid complaints when that is the outcome.
