When Territory Wars was introduced, it was the first opportunity players had to test their full rosters against other players. Now that the Grand Arena events are running, we believe this will be a much better fit for challenging players who have a similar collection. This will be the arena for purely competitive play.
That frees us up to take Territory Wars in a more playful and fun direction.
Banning characters from usage does anything but make this mode more playful and fun. And changing it every TW is an even worse idea. The amount of work that this creates for guild officers to plan for and design strategy for is going to be a lot of work. And with a short time to do it since the excluded characters are only known less than a week before the event start. Work that will now need to be done for every TB?
In fact, removing characters from play does the exact opposite. It undermines the players investment of time/money/resources in pursuing these characters and then CG comes along and takes it away. That's not fun or good for players confidence. Boosting under utilized characters/factions is good, taking away content players have invested in? Horrible.
Who in their right mind thought this was a good idea? This completely ruins the game mode.
