Should TW bidding be more closely enforced and how?

TZoner - Raging Tide · October 2013

This poll is to ask the fellow players what you think. I have found that many of the TW rules that are posted are not really well followed on my server and i am curious how many other servers notice similar issues.

1. Does anyone else think that maybe TW bidding should be more closely monitored and the rules enforced more?

2. Does anyone else think that there should be more guidelines in place to prevent bogus factions without a legit chance in TW PVP battles to bid for territory?

I want to hear others input in the matter. It has come to my attention that there are many instances where factions with too few members or factions that seem to come out of no where bid on and win TWs just to lose them to bigger better factions which poses the question as to exactly how specific the rules maybe should be compared to what they are. I mean sure it states that we cant rig TW or have alt factions to bid on TW just to help rig TW for bigger factions but how can they really keep track of that?

I am just trying to get others discussing this topic as i really enjoy TW and hear issues with improper bidding and of factions wining their TW cuz they cant fight the better faction that are attacking them all the time. Let me know what you think about this matter and if you think maybe we need more strict rules governing how a faction is able to bid on TW or not.

I just...dont know what to say so ty for your input i guess? would be nice to hear from people that actually give me their input though and dont just tell me im being lame. I thoroughly enjoy pwi and i am merely just trying to question things and get people to talk. Nothing wrong with that.

If you win the TW, why would you not be allowed to bid? Even if they lose it to bigger factions, so what? If we go down that road, sooner or later we find ourselves in a place where only few factions are allowed to bid on map.

You are not reading my entire post. maybe if you read the entire post and actually bring up a legit points along the lines of what I'm asking question wise, you will make more sense.

It would be nice.

Honestly TW rules have never been enforced all that well UNLESS there was a ticket war between factions causing mass drama or it was relatively close to the beginning of a change in them... and the latter has always tended to cause more harm than good due to how indiscriminate and, to be frank, uniformed they were.

If we had staff paying more attention to the game, we wouldn't see things so often like obvious alts bidding on the mains to protect it but seeing as that would require PWE to have more staff members (since otherwise, it'd just be a case of whoever sends in mass tickets first gets to **** over the people they dislike) I'm not really sure what kind of alternative would be realistic for what we have right now.

Personally, I'd rather they do away with the majority of the TW rules. They've mostly only been used as an excuse to ticket war.

You wrote a wall of broken English. Trying to decipher points I came to conclusion, point 1. Alt factions are bidding on map. 2. They cant win PvP TWs, making them "bogus" factions and thus shouldnt be allowed. Those points I responded in far more respectful manner than said idiotic points deserved. As its clearly unclear to you why, I`ll explain. Each server has 1-3 OP factions that are competent with each other. Rest are far below that standard. Taking your point to extreme, those factions should be the only ones bidding on map as rest are "bogus factions without a legit chance in TW PVP battles". Rest of it? Why dont you express yourself properly so we dont have to decipher what you mean?

''A officer (nvm exe, marsh, direc or lead) cannot have an alt in a other TW faction''.

I do understand that it's made to avoid the alt factions, but it's ****. People don't need to have a title on their head to make calls for bids.

A lot of people have alts these days, so let's say if all officers in a faction have 5 alts each and want to TW with them, what choice they have? Use 80 spots on 200 for officers alts? Not TW on alts? Or leave the officer post?...

I personally think that a officers should be allowed to have alts in other TW factions,but NOT to be officer in more than one TW faction.

People spend money and time to make alt to play different class, but cannot TW on more than one if they are officer at the risk to get ban.

More and more people drop their officer title to don't get ban and to be able to enjoy the TW on more than one char.

Less and less people want to be officer just cause of that rule.

Are you saying that the smaller factions shouldn't bid because other factions will beat them? Map resets are an opportunity for those smaller factions to have some FUN before the bigger factions take over the map leaving no room for them. Stop being a party pooper and leave the smaller factions to have some fun at map reset.

If you truly think the smaller factions don't deserve to have some fun during this stage of the map reset than you sir are a ****.

It amazes me the amount of hate some people are giving me. This thread is asking for others opinions on the matter...my opinions are my own and im entitled to have them so rather then talking trash about my opinion why not state your own? Or discuss the topic not trash me or others.

some rules are plainly stupid and impossible to enforce in the first place, others are good but are not being enforced at all.
on our server there has yet to be a tw between big vs small or main vs alt faction, so you are complaining to hastily. it is week 4 of new season and we still have 6 empty territories...without all the small and alt factions the map would be more than half empty. (btw some of those alt facitons are stronger than most main factions :P )

so the problem here is not the rules or lack of monitoring nor the tw-system that has vast room for improvement - it is imo the low poulation and low activity. (subtle call for server-merge) b:surrender

Myself and many people do not agree that they should do a server merge. I for one wouldnt care one way or another but idk for sure....

No it shouldn't be more strictly enforced. Last I checked this is a game not the military, and weaker factions bidding isn't that big of a deal despite the rules.

DEMHEALSMAN - Dreamweaver · November 2013

So TW should only be allowed for the big time strong factions that can faceroll the smaller factions who have no real chance against the big time factions?

How about no.

I am more in favour of an idea that someone else popped up a few months ago, make a (small) part of the TW map not accessible for the big time factions so the smaller factions can have some fun attacking one another too, while the big, strong factions can fight over the rest.

How to implement such an idea is a different thing, because how do you judge of a faction is or is not a top faction... soulforce calculation over all members?

Not really. I actually think some of the TW bidding rules are kinda lame (such as an officer of a faction not being allowed to have a toon in a different, even if smaller, TW faction).

Does anyone else think that there should be more guidelines in place to prevent bogus factions without a legit chance in TW PVP battles to bid for territory?

Again, no. Most of those smaller factions aren't bogus at all, just small factions that want some fun with PVE TWs and having their names on the map. Whenever time comes for bigger factions to fight them, they'll be out of the map, so what's the issue? Should PVE TWs stay free for the big factions to go with lvl 1 gear? Meh.

I want to hear others input in the matter. It has come to my attention that there are many instances where factions with too few members or factions that seem to come out of no where bid on and win TWs just to lose them to bigger better factions which poses the question as to exactly how specific the rules maybe should be compared to what they are. I mean sure it states that we cant rig TW or have alt factions to bid on TW just to help rig TW for bigger factions but how can they really keep track of that?

Maybe they don't do that just to lose to bigger, better TW factions. Maybe they do that to have some fun in PVE.

And the mobs stand as much of a chance as the lowbie/small amount of people from the small factions. Difference is there was a higher number of people having fun there.

I am just trying to get others discussing this topic as i really enjoy TW and hear issues with improper bidding and of factions wining their TW cuz they cant fight the better faction that are attacking them all the time. Let me know what you think about this matter and if you think maybe we need more strict rules governing how a faction is able to bid on TW or not.

So, if my answer is not clear enough yet, no, there should not be more strict rules governing how a faction is able to bid on TW. The fee is already ridiculously high.

If you broke down this wall of text into actual suggestions, I would finish reading.

I think he started this whole thing because a certain person on our server has a faction for her 10 most used toons and she bidded on PVE territory, going to solo it alone and then she said she is at leas trying to defend PVP TW all by herself if someone attacks. Crazy idea but guess to each their own.

As you and many other people requested i broke it down into parts...might i add it is sad rather than just reading it you quote to tell me to rewrite it. It may have been a large bunch of words but you could still read it if you took the time.

Should TW bidding be more closely enforced and how?
