@OP: Way to overthink a simple idea. Its also ironic that someone who has almost 4k posts in here mentions the timesuck of the game, but has yet to comprehend an ongoing demand by the players comunity. Seriously wondering if this thread is supposed to be just an elaborate troll.

Regarding your question. What we are asking for is a very simple idea and wouldnt require too much time to develop. It is also all but natural that the customers of a product make suggestions to improve the product.

Can you please expand on what you think this would be? It would also be nice to hear how you came to the conclusion on how much development it would take.

Basically squad arena limited to your guild where you can do "training" fights with your teams against teams of your guild members.

This piece of code already exists. So they just need to copy it and add in minor deviations. Now allow me to ask why is it that people like you and OP seem so opposed to the idea and question the idea itself and everyone trying to make an argument for it. Just wondering

I would love to hear how you came to the conclusion about what are minor deviations, do you have experience coding for games like this?

Just another armchair developer who wouldn't know bytecode from binary.

How about you enlighten us then and tell us what would be the giant obstacle the devs had to surpass for that instead of spamming and namecalling?

I don’t think there is an obstacle at all. I think it’s been a conscious business decision by EA/CG. I believe they have the data that shows they can generate the same amount of revenue with less development. This probably allows them to have a smaller group of employees dedicated to this game and divert resources to new games.

All they need to do is crank out new shiny characters every couple of months, especially with resource intensive requirements and that keeps the money flowing.
