If they did that, but started a new PvE Green, I'd donate $100 immediately. That's an incredible troll move.

To have the yellow server up and running, I believe we must be courteous and polite to one another and devise rotations that everyone honors and respects.

/plead for /guildwar on Green and Blue.

Guildwars would be so fun to watch and/or participate in. Good chance I'll donate $100 soon just for the <1% chance this mechanic will ever be available or implemented on our PvE servers. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The videos of some of these spicy guildwars could be gold. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The degree to which people here over estimate the impact of /guildwar is absurd. You realize its completely consensual like a /duel right? Raid guilds aren't just going to war up every few days during a contested raid or some shit.

They might do it alot more with juicy rewards like:

* Choosing 5 very contested raid mobs to have to themselves for 24hrs on next respawns

* 100k -300K platinum divided evenly to contestants

* Manastone, AoN, Manna robe etc

* Losing guild cant kill any raid mobs for several days or maybe a week etc

We just need to be creative with agreed upon rules/rewards to get the PvE players really imvested in the /guildwar. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Stay strong my friends!

Good luck with that, its historically easy to get anyone to agree to a greater chance they might not get a mob as we all know.

Here's just 1 example:

A truly competent and competitive spirit could just be enough to tip the scales in a guild-wide <Kingdom> or <Safe Space> vote to voting "Yes" for guild-war with <Good Guys>
* This would of course depend on some clearly defined rules that seemed fair to most with significant risk/reward on the line...

This sort of "guild war" with real risk/reward would perhaps best be in a controlled environment relegatrd to just 1 zone or maybe 2 with GM or Guide referees though. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

While I like the idea of the /guildwar mechanic, your ideas about motivating rewards don't really work in the current P99 meta. You have a top guild and then one or two others who can occasionally contest in ToV etc.

There's no real scenario where the risk/reward is worth it for the top guild. Why would they engage in a guildwar that could result in them getting locked out of targets just to get a monopoly on targets that they already have a near monopoly on? Just not really a good call for any top guild to engage in.
