Claiming a keep

[Bengalfan87]

Hello, everyone I wanted to start a tread about the talks of what claiming a keep can do for big guilds. When you claim a keep and have a big enough guild to fill a full WB you can port to the keep without needing boxes, this is only for guild members. Us smaller guilds that can't do this we can only get part of our WB's in the keep for defense. Personally I think this function of claiming a keep should be removed from the game since it give an unfair advantage to the guild that is claiming the keep verse the other faction. I have talked with others in the community about this and most didn't even read the patch notes that was talking about this, once pointed out they were just like me and ask for it to be removed.

small guilds can claim keeps, there isnt any "size" requirement to claim a keep

Correct small guilds can claim keeps, however if you are leading a WB only your guild members can port to the keep from the warcamp. Unlike bigger guilds that can claim a keep and fill one maybe two warbands of players they would be able to port all their guild members to a two star or three star keep defense and they are nothing that the other side can do to try to keep them out the keep.

To who you refer with "the other faction" or "the other side can do to try to keep them out the keep."?
I mean, are u complaining about your allies getting in, or your foes getting in?
However, complaining in any of both cases has no point.
I guess you don't complain when the guild who claims the keep purchases things like improved spawn, wich affects all your faction, or manage to use the oil correctly instead of being wasted by some war-crest maniac.
Oil, keep and that claiming patch is awesome, you are the first person who I see complaining.
And, despite of the guild size has no bussiness here, in case it had, there is an easy solution: grow your guild. There are a ton of low population guilds, instead of bigger ones. Negotiate with others and join members under 1 guild.
I'm pretty tired of people begging for "4 other players to create a guild, u can leave once it's created" just for the ego of "i have my own guild" (with just 3 more people).

I do agree that the other aspects of claiming a keep is awesome, but when you have full guild warbands porting into the keep and they have enough players on that they can get 2 full warbands on a defense. That is what I'm talking about that should be either removed from claiming a keep or limit it where they are a max amount of players that can do that. If guilds don't have this function they can be easily kept out by blocking posterns and the main door with a warband of the other faction. With this ability and bigger guilds that can form up like this, they are no point to even try to block posterns or fight to keep them out the keep. I know last night during NA time on Destruction they were alot of chatter about this and the population logged after this happened to them when we were trying to take a keep.
