IDEAS FOR RYZOM

Oh really? And why that should be that way? Size of the guild shouldn't be a criterion allowing some group of people to dictate their will upon others.That's where relations, diplomacy and interaction with other players comes in play. Spamming invites to every person in sight shouldn't be the only way for a guild to get access to high level content. It's MMO after all and interaction with other player groups to achieve the goals and take challenges supposed to have importance. And you want to turn it into some poor copy of Guild Wars.Generally they aren't meaningless with exception of some specific cases. It's some oversized guilds that neglecting faction meaning.So what? In most cases potential defenders would have no clue if they are going to be attacked or no. And when the button is pressed, it's already too late, because recruiting new members got banned by active war. And if there is no such restriction, defending guild would have only 24 hours before the battle to get more people in, while attackers could have preparations going for weeks.

Let's say, i'm a member of some small guild consist of four or five active members. I don't care much about outposts, but i like PvP and battles. Now, what would i have to do if GvG become real, forced by game mechanics? I would have to quit the guild that i like to be in, leave people that i like to hang around with, and join some large guild in order to have the kind of fun that i enjoy. And the rest folks in my old guild would have to do the same. Now, THAT'S just silly.
There is no monopolizing. Because people tend to share their OP goods with others. At least within faction. Personally, i always got what i asked for with no problems at all.

Ok let's.

Then why post about it?

Or instead of quitting you could stay in your guild and press the attack on any OP you want.  Just because it is GvG doesn't mean you can't attack, and since you like PvP as you say that should be enough.   Or you could tag up and go find others that are tagged up and fight them, and since you like PvP as you say that should be enough.  Or you could go to PR and fight the first unlucky person you find down there, and since you like PvP as you say that should be enough.  Or you could go to the Matis arena and have some battles there, and since you like PvP as you say that should be enough.  Or you could just challenge someone to a duel ... see where I'm going with this? You claim to like PvP but really are hung up on one game mechanic concerning one type of PvP and can't see there are many other possibilities than just quitting your guild to join a big one or stop pvp altogether, that's why I call it silly.

The kinds of PvP you listed are nothing but jokes, that don't even worth the mention. For example, you can tag up and spend literally hours looking for opponents only to find out that there is very little of them, it's always same few persons and most likely there is nobody at all. Mass PvP in form of OP battles is the only decent option for someone looking for PvP in this game. GvG being implemented, cut off the "mass" part of this statement, degrading battles down to team-level fights and casting away those who would like to participate in real battle instead of team fight.
