Hi,
Because I am player on server3 I feel to want write few words.
1. You mentioned about ask for direct payment of diamonds from Westeros guild authorities ? I hope it is joke. I was speaking with some people from Westeros and I had very good feel from them, but if this kind of xxx is true, it is sad. If you are speaking about high demanded prices in their castles - it is their right ( I will speak about that lately )
2. I agree server3 is unbalanced, but it is not problem of strongest guilds ( or better to said strongest group of guild ). It is up to other players to unite and try to fight. This is game in which some part of game is about attacks also between players and I must say I think it is good ( although I am not looting players, I understand players for which it is biggest fun in game ). As you saw in last attacks your guild and on your guild - it is about NUMBER of player, your guild has no chance NOT because you are not powerfull enough, but because LOW number of members.
3. As for your promises about some "fair" prices - "legendary tools 42-45, potions lowest prices". It will be fine - anyway I must ask you - Have you any idea how much costs upgrades in castles ? Have you any idea how much cost to upgrade crafting shop to be able sell legendary recipes or instrument ? I think here is main problem, prices of upgrades , especially in Tier5,6 are absolutly insane for me. I do not want even imagine how much it will be in Tier7!!! My guild owned 4 castles in past until we lost all to Sentinel ( it was very sad part of existence of guild when 2/3 of members was unactive ). Maybe my guild has power to take some back, maybe not. We even not trying that. For what ? To invest hundreds milions of gold and hundreds diamonds to castle to be able sold items for "fair" prices ? Our investment will not returned in long time.
Just now 12 castles are available in Tiers4,5,6. Sentinel owns 8 castles, Westeros 3 castles and Jaguar 1 castle. Question is why Sentinel needs 8 castles ( all 5 Tier6 castles )? You must ask them, I can only imagine .... for months they are not upgrading almost anything, in castles which he takes from us is all same as several months ago. So it is or about destroying other possibilities to buy "items" in someone other castle or simply sign of dominance. One or other - it is their CHOOSE and legitime choose.
You and your guild are Tier4 player. If you want I can you write some prices in upgrades in Tier5 or Tier6 HQ. Sorry no exact numbers from castles as we have not any
) Anyway also GUARDS must be payed and it was about 2 mil gold WEEKLY in our castle if I good remember.
So believe me crazy prices are in bigger part made by crazy prices of buildings and upgrades, owners are forced to ask high prices to get at least part of their investment back. Idea maybe was players will donate gold and diamonds to guilds, anyway allmost all wants to play for free.
Janyemm, server3
P.S. Very nice work with your post , you have talent.
