So have the dev's been working on Genesis from day 1 ? , because lets face it not alot ever gets put right thats wrong. I'm not talking about what is an opinion, more about the game bugs.

Personally, I am disturbed by some of the game bugs, but I am also disturbed by your over-generalization. They have been developing new content, and it does not always have to be the same content for new content to sometimes be an issue. But you can have an issue exist and still have other issues also exist.

And, believe me, we have issues.

Everyone that has been in the faction for an extended period of time should get something, not anyone who has just recently joined. This way faction hoppers can't go for free stuff.

Also to prevent the same faction from just winning every time, if you got a prize on the last time, you are unable to get a prize for the next 2 resets. This is on individual characters, not factions.

I think that a lot of the high end players have multiple characters, on multiple accounts. So I am not sure how much benefit we would see from something like this.

That really doesn't work. The super fac will simply change names.

This is seen on Lost City. Conquerer disbanded to allow map to "reset," and I believe they actually did it with good intentions at first, but they all ended up in the same faction again when it was all said and done.

Same faces, new name.

How come you're always so wrong....

CQ disbanded and made Kamisama. They have 2 lands left.

Zoe said that the individual characters counted, not what faction won last time b:chuckle

Not that I agree with the idea

We'll have to see how things play out for a bit, and take it from there based on what we've learned. The GM's will also be on high alert for any hijinx, so fake bidders beware..

What exactly constitutes a fake bid?

My alt has a faction with 14 members, mostly 100+, I can honestly say we'd have zero issue taking a tier 3 land if we bid... Even if only one or two of us show up. Hell, we'd be able to finish wars in our main guild first then swap and finish the other war.

Based on responses from GMs regarding PvP tws, where the response was essentially "Any player can have their characters participate in as many different guild's wars in one weekend as they are able." Does that stand for the PvE wars as well? If so, any guild with 1 lvl 100 player in it is a 100% viable guild to take a tier 3 land and no bid falling under that formula would be able to be considered a fake bid.

Btw, I would like to be able to do the PvE tw with my alt's faction, and will be bidding unless forbidden here, as my main's tw won't be the least bit interesting with 200 chars 100+ in the faction.

On the other hand, I would appreciate a line drawn as to what constitutes a fake bid even if it excludes my alt's faction from bidding to avoid unjust bans. (suggestion: sum of guild's member's levels >300 for tier 3)

A fake bid is when a faction holds land and creates another faction to outbid other factions who try to declare on them, which in turn, means they don't have to defend.

If you have 3 people in your own faction and you bid on another factions land, and only 3 people show up, fantastic. But if you bid 150m coins, and some unknown faction with 1 person in it that is level 4 suddenly outbids you for 2 billion, something is fishy.

Which sucks because apparently these large factions pay other factions now to bid on their land then no-show. Or so I have heard.
