that's not how any of this works.

Then inform me and everybody else that has come to the same conclusion how it really works. Also are you F2P or whales and what's your GP.

mostly f2p with some money spent, many in our guild are f2p, don't think we have any actual whales. gp 3.2

you seem to think servers fill slowly, and that 3.5m whales get put in servers/shards with a few 100k players.

you think the raid is too hard, but also that your guild is too good for you to get top 10. either you need to get better or you can drop down. when this started people said it was destroying guilds bc people would move up, now it's down.

nothing is locked behind a paywall, just a waiting wall.
Wrong again. CG makes a server and fills it up with the first 20k players to join at that time. So a new player could get lucky and be on a mostly F2P shard which makes it much easier for a new player to proceed. OR they could get put in a shard like me who has about 5k whales among the 20k not to mention the ones right under whales, guppies, minnows, and finally F2P.

A new player can't survive in a shard such as that considering it will take a good year+ to really start developing teams. That's not even mentioning the new Toons coming out every week. The legends and the new legends coming. It's great that some or maybe a lot of vet F2P are on older shards where there is a dead accounts galore. It must be nice to be able to take first in arena with a 80k team and being in the top 10with a 170k fleet. That means they rake in ton of free crystals further helping them.

My shard is nothing like that. Arena wise it's nothing to see all G12 pieces and 3+ zetas at 900 to 700. The top in my arena is ungodly and the fleet is the same way. That is why CG should adopt a graduated system that moves players up in shards as they get more powerful. Most games do this already because it helps with player retention because you aren't throwing them in a possible shark pit.

Yes the raid is destroying guilds it's a proven fact. Guilds that have been together for a year or more are breaking up because some are able to handle HSTR while others are not so they leave to find a guild doing HSTR. Others who are right at breaking into the top 10 are leaving to go to a lower guild where they can get the top 10 and get the gear they need for their Toons. That alone is proof enough the raid is destroying guilds.

Argue with me all you want but go an argue with the 1000s on here and Reddit talking about the raid destroying their long time guilds from people leaving to people quitting. Or go read the 1700 response thread about the STR raid and how much it is hated for what it has done to guilds and the game.

CG is so clueless that they were surprised it was taking the vast majority of guilds 6 WEEKS to finish T6 much . That proves they don't even know their own game. Do me a favor and go to tell all the other 1000s they don't know what they are talking about and everything is just peachy.
