The unintentional side effect of TB

They should have scaled the difficulty of getting 3 stars on a node depending on the guilds total GP. Then there would have been less of a need to form super guilds.

moved to correct sub forum.

This has been the effect of new content since the beginning. TB is no exception. I am not a new player but I would think this is a good thing for new players. less new players have GK,better gearing and more income just for putting in 600.

How many new players in your guild then?

This is less of a TB discussion more than a general game layout discussion.
TB has resulted in tons of people (like myself) being removed from guilds so the guys who have been around longer can progress.
Where is the new player benefit in that?

I don't think the assumption that it's unintentional is correct. The devs basically said when TB was announced that they expected it to shake up guilds in this manner.

I think everyone who has been in this game for a while would have expected this. Every time new content is released then guilds want to complete it so they drop those who aren't well geared or leveled yet. And, those players that are in guilds that can't complete it or get far that are very well-geared may look for stronger guilds.

Personally, I think it is fine this way. It's good to find guilds with players around your level. Work your way up together as a guild.

since TB launched my guild has lost members, but many who left to leave the game. our goal is to build up our family and keep our friends. we never had any placeholders in our guild.

this will cause guilds to be more locally balanced. players in roughly the same area of development will group together. isn't that a good thing?

Funny enough... I agree and disagree with you. Number 1, yes. Ever since TB's there has been a huge impact on guild rosters/ members who either want higher level players to get more stars in the TB's or just simply want better guilds. I also think that this has to do with lower level guilds not being able to defeat TB. Or just simply because of the new guild events shop and the new content and all everyone is panicking to do what they can to get more rewards, which requires more stars, and ultimately requiring higher level rosters. And because of all the new content if a player had x amount of 7* toons that was enough for some guilds. But now because of the added TB's the requirements go up because the difficulty has gone up. Kinda goes hand in hand if you think about it. And on the other side of the coin, No. I don't actually think anything is really that much different. It's just the times have changed, that's all. Before it was "such and such guild requires x amount of 7* characters" and now we actually have a means (other than just those of us who are on swgoh.gg myself included) of an in-game tool on "judging" players rosters by a number... GP.
I actually left my previous guild (a guild which I had started and was the leader of who once had iirc about 30-40 members and was doing T6 rancor and Normal aat regularly) with a few of my guild friends to join another guild who is doing Heroic Rancor and is close to haat and has 50 members now. I too was in the same boat about being Heroic, TB, and "events" ready... but it's still tough on me too... And you wanna know what? I'm a level 85 player. My GP is almost 900,000 give or take. And even I am having somewhat of a tough time of it. You just have to find the "right" guild for you. It has to be somewhat of a "perfect fit". It has to benefit you and it has to benefit them. And hopefully when you find that you'll become friends with all the people like I have in the new guild I'm in and have a blast! @kbasch What level are you btw and what's your ally code? I hope you do well and find a great guild for yourself, Joe :)

Our guild hasn't kicked or lost players that haven't wanted to take a break from the game. We are a competitive guild with HAAT on farm. Worked up to it together as a challenge and didn't rely on hired guns.

Guilds were meant to a about people working together for the challenge and a common goal, not a coat tailing free GK shards for 600 a day system.

TB for all its flaws just reiterates this. It's a new challenge that strong guilds will rise to together, we are already strategising about how to get more stars. I think it's a good thing.

Thanks all for your input. I think everyone kinda assumed i was complaining about TB due to the backstory but thats not really the case at all.
I was more looking for honest answers on the matter.
And i appreciate it
