it would be nice to have a sliding scale for cost of raids, i’m currently in a 5 man guild and don’t want to be in anything more what is frustrating is that we can complete pit, tank and sith raid but it takes forever to save tickets. it would be nice to have a sliding scale for ticket cost so we could set it to 5 or even 10 participants only and launch just as often as the larger guilds. so 5 players could launch a pit raid 6000 tickets instead of of 60,000 tickets and only be able to have a couple of raids a months. it would also help with getting those character shards that are only available in the guild store not to mention the gear crunch. note:- not asking for better rewards for those 5 players just to be able to raid as frequently as larger guilds. thanks for reading.

Unfortunately there is no such thing as a "smaller guild". Guilds are designed to be and raids are designed around 50 players.If you want to be in a guild that is not full, that's your choice, but a full guild will generally put in a lot of effort to stay that way, or people will run alt accounts to keep ticket generation at max. This is one of the rewards for that effort, they can raid at "maximum efficiency".

It's admirable that you want to keep your guild going, but in the long run you are all just losing out on rewards in every guild related game mode.

I dont support catering to 5 man guilds, but I do really wish they would adjust the ticket system so that a full 50/50 every day is not required to get max tickets. Maybe allow each person to earn 625 tickets instead of 600, with a guild cap at 30k still? Or give out a percentage of 30k equal to the percentage of the max tickets your guild earned for the day? You'd probably need a minimum number of players to qualify for the last 1 so you don't have 1 man ticket farming guilds.

Since coming back to the game I've told myself I'm going to be a more casual player, and one way I'm doing that is by joining a guild for about 1 event a month. So I can still join a higher guild just for 1 TB, do all the raids for that week, and then go back to guildless for a while. You can control how you do it. I joined a smaller guild in TBs for a bit and merc'd a TW for them. This month I might stay for more than one event. You may try something similar if you're finding being in a guild full time is not for you.

thank you for your reply, that is unfortunate that is the way as it does slow my small group down from progressing faster, people running alt accounts in the higher guilds for additional raiding still goes on and enabling smaller groups this ability for the current raids i can’t see stopping that happening, perhaps improving the programming to stop guild jumping would help such as blocking players returning to the same guild within 7 days. i know for a fact that some players don’t want to or have the commitment to participate in territory battles or be in a larger guild and just want to have fun in a smaller one. it’s a pity you won’t help these players since i think you’re missing an improvement here, us players in these smaller guilds still do need currency for the guild store for those characters shards and want to be competitive in these new events such as galactic challenges that is set for single player gaming.

bouncing around from weak guild to weak guild a lot of them have inactive players, this would encourage them to remove those players, instead i found myself locked out since i don’t want to be in a guild with 25 inactives, if i knew there was only 25 active players it is allowing me choose better. also in these guilds is the type of player it would help and improve their enjoyment of the game enabling them to raid more often and progress faster possibly spend more.

Choosing to join a guild that is not as active is not a good choice, but talking to the players in a guild before joining, or looking at guilds who are actively recruiting can easily solve the bouncing issue. Again, this circles back to a slight bit of work on the players end, that pays off in the players favor.

@Waqui i’ve already addressed those points further on in the additional posts i posted above.

You've suggested to block players from returning to a guild for 7 days. You didn't address how to prevent the type of abuse I described (having ticket alts generate tickets, then kicking them to launch a 5-man raid for 6k tickets). How would you prevent that type of abuse?

Why 625? Why not 750? Or 1000?

Yes, I understand that with a limit of 625 you enable guilds with only 48 members to generate 30.000 tickets daily, but what about guilds with only 40 or 30 members?

Alternatively, guilds with 48 members (or who miss out on 1200 tickets daily for some other reason) could just accept that they are only able to launch 24 raids for every 25 raids a guild with perfect ticket generation launches.

I'm sure, you are serious. I just don't support your suggestion. That's all. If you present a way to prevent abuse or a good reason why your 5 man guild should be able to launch raids at a discount cost while others pay the full amount of tickets I may change my mind.

They would also keep some limit. Allowing for 10% seems reasonable, if they were going to do it. If they were to do it, I dont seem them allowing for 10 or more to not be present or pulling in almost all the tickets required.

So, Bulldog suggested 625, you suggest allowing for 10% (do you mean 45 members / 667 daily tickets each?). Any reason why 10% (or 45 members)?

I meant 45 members. Just a general thought, as it keeps the guild "full", but seems like a reasonable allowance for vacations and short breaks. It also takes some stress off recruiters.

This would also have some effect on ticket alts, which is probably one of the key reasons they will never do this. Alt accounts look like "active players" from a metrics stand point.

That's because alt accounts are active accounts. Some are played more seriously than others though.
