Make WoE more of a battle.

[Adrillf]

Yet again, I find it humorous and very ironic that people are now talking about how no one would leave or break off from a main guild for their own reasons. Really? REALLY? There's never been a break off from a guild for personal reasons? You really can't see that happening?

As for any previous reviews about today's WoE, it was purely on my bias that I enjoy a fight, not turtling. Turtling has it's uses and it makes for great god item farming, but it also makes for really boring WoE's.

If you want to turtle, go for it, but you can't turtle down and then wonder why no one likes bashing their head against a wall and complain about it. If you're going to defend and spend all of your resources on defense, then people won't fight you, your defense worked. Good job. But does that mean that just because you can defend one castle that other people, or heaven forbid- new people, would want the chance at a castle as well?

Not to mention there are some of us that want to run through castles and fight and be in small organized groups fighting back and forth because we find that fun, and this solution of opening up everything would allow those who want to turtle, to turtle away, and for those of us who want to romp around and kill each other senselessly to do that as well (and get a small reward for it at the same time). PvP rooms are boring because it's the same map, same room, and no fun WoE reductions (yes they are fun) so don't tell me to just hang out in pvp. Also BG, as fun as that might be is about as boring as pvp because there's one map, it's wide open, there's no choke points, and the randomized groups, as much as I understand why they're there and their necessity, really do suck.

I'm saying, open things up and let people try something else out besides turtling.

Right now people only turtle because that's the only option. You turtle because the one person in charge wants chests, and because that's the most efficient way to keep your chests.

But if you're turtling, realize that you can't have it both ways.
You can't turtle and then expect people to attack you endlessly without rewards.
How would reducing things make it any better? 2 guilds turtle down, kill anything that walks in, no one wants to try.
I'm all for being powerful, I'm all for having veteran players and great gears. I'm just saying let those new people on the server have their chance of having fun in WoE and doing something besides running against a turtled guild for 2 hours every week with the only thing to show from it being a few WoE points.

And let me apologize for my one overstatement that people might get denied items from guild storage. That was wrong of me to say. DoE members, feel free to clean everything out of storage, you won't get told no.

One thing that I would like to address is this discussion about what is and is not a WoE.

It's been used a bunch of times within this thread about what makes a WoE and what does not make a WoE. So, I would like an explanation from people on this- what makes a WoE? Apparently not what the majority of this server is doing during WoE time constitutes a WoE to you, so I would like to understand what you consider a WoE.
