Curious about Raid and its Token Design

Thanks!  That seems like a reasonable solution!  Hopefully, it will be implemented.

To distinguish those guild types, I’d say have a month long timer for the individual players in the guild. If a player in the guild has been inactive for a month or more, that amount (1800 raid tokens) is deducted from the total requirement to start a raid. If they start playing again, they have the three day lockout for being able to join a raid once becoming active again (like the lockout period when someone joins a new guild). Once that lockout period ends, the 1800 raid tokens are added to the total requirement again.

Let me start out by saying that I like this idea... I think there is merit in it.  However, I would like to pose a question.  How will you distinguish between a large guild with mostly inactive players, a medium guild with semi active players, and a small guild with very active players?  I created my own Guild a year ago, so I understand what it is like to be in each of the options... and so I am curious what your thoughts on the matter are.

I think this is basically it. I've heard so many people say, "I would've quit the game by now if it weren't for my guild." CG knows this. It is in their interest to keep players playing the game. And so it is in CG's interest to get people into full guilds where they feel socially obligated to keep engaging and progressing—not because the player loves CG or even the game itself, but because they want to help their guildmates or not let them down. And the more guildmates, the more links of obligation get made. 

Some game modes are solo experiences. And some are cooperative, meant to be done by full or nearly full guilds. Raids, TWs, and TBs are designed to be cooperative. 

I too wish there wasn’t a cap and I agree that we wouldn’t be putting in 15000 tokens a day lmao. I do like your ideas but, unfortunately, you’re probably right about CG. 

Not at all. The GP required to enter those activities is physically impossible for smaller guilds and I have no issue with that. I’m just brainstorming for a way for scaling to apply to raids which are accessible to all guild sizes and was curious if anyone else had put thought to it

There are no “small guilds” - only incomplete guilds. Running around in a guild of two should not be accommodated by the devs. 

Maybe you would also like to grab 48* in ROTE for 4% of the Territory Points that a full guild has to put up?

Outta here with this crap.

I've often had a similar idea, to give some grace to some smaller guilds, as well as for full guilds where 2-3 people might slaxk a little (or go on vacation). Still cap the guild daily at 30,000, but increase the max per person (while under 30,000) as the guild gets smaller. It doesn't have to be exactly proportional and can taper off at some point, though I don't expect each party in a guild of 2 to be getting 15,000 a day anyway. But maybe a guild of 25 can potentially get 22,000 a day instead of being capped at 15,000. Even increasing the sub-30k max per person in a full guild can make up for a few people who would fall below 600. 

But I don't think this is how CG rolls; they want people active daily and being in a guild is a way of incentivizing that behavior and having the playerbase police it in others.

Fair enough. I always believe you should play a game in the way it brings the most enjoyment, so good gaming! 😊
Unfortunately, I don't see CG making a change like this.
