Dex here.
I am all for a strong healthy competitive fight at the top, my challenges i have to just go and jump ship at the moment,
SP is super consistent at keeping their top players top, La Cag players are like yo-yo's in and out, and so for others as well.
We can split all top players up into the 4-5 top guilts, and that would last one season, cause at the end of that season, SP would likely retain all their players top, whilst all others drop 3-4 down, then we will all cry foul again about the numbers not being equal.
There is definitely a shake up required to make fighting for no1 worthy again, i go to bed, and wake up with SP cleaning up the guilt, so SP dominance is not a question at all, but the shake up needs to be from the leaders coming together and negotiating / trading, whatever, or other guilds stepping up to the plate.
I fear this will be a very long debatable discussion going around and around in circles, SP players are all committed, and work hard to stay top, and assisting each other every day to ensure the guilt keep growing and being competitive, and i doubt anyone would like to jump ship just to realise half of the new guilt are not really committed, just playing for fun, not sharing heals, not fighting / playing hard...
it would almost be a recommendation that the guilds with 1-3 top players join Unthinkable / La Cag, to increase Unthinkable top-level numbers.
