"Guild Token" mounts rework proposal
Posted: Fri Sep 20, 2019 1:26 pm
Hello!
The new "guild token mounts" were realesed some time ago. My view is that the potential of these mounts, in terms of what additional content they can bring, and as a cosmetic goal in itself, is being wasted.
Issue:
While the token quests are not unfair in themselves, it is the requirement for these quests (atleast full guild group) that doesn't feel right. It favours large guilds over small guilds, and makes it in many instances unrealistic for small guilds to field those numbers. There have been moments in where people in small guilds felt the need to leave their guild and merge several people into another guild, just for the duration of the quests. Seems stupid that you would have to do things like this. The mounts are also expirable with a 7-d duration, and I atleast would prefer a permanent version.
I believe these mounts should be achievable for EVERYONE, and not favour big guilds or disfavour small guilds.
Proposals:
- If they should be achievable through quests or likewise, make those quests count not only for guild groups, but for alliance groups too. It makes it easier to group up and doesn't feel as much as a "big guild vs small guild" issue.
- Change them from duration-based to permament (with quest rework making them long-term goals). I think many people like the feeling of having an item as belonging to them.
- Change them from duration based to permament and remove the quests. Instead put a renown rank barrier or gold, or both a renown rank barrier and gold. It puts additional incentive to strive for that higher renown on your character, aswell as providing a gold sink and incentive to participate in the game economy.
Keep in mind, these are my personal views. If you disagree and think otherwise, that's absolutely fine.
Cheers.
