I continue to see post from a variety of people that basically say the same thing as above. They just dismiss my and others views that there is a problem. I get we all do that a lot in the forum, but when people keep saying something, it likely means something is up. So instead of just shooting down the idea maybe try to gain more clarity and information on why the person is feeling that way.
So people will understand that the guild update solved nothing for the root of the problem I am talking about:
(Note: This is not to call out any person or city or anything. We are merged by accident [not intentional] and the system makes this happen.)
Yes in the top of the screen shot my Guild town has the name. But you can clearly see that our Guild settlement is part of a larger settlement that we do not want to be part of. Additionally, our prestige is helping another city gain ranking that it should not technically have because we did not approve or are allowed to keep our prestige. Lastly, we have now lost our ability to compete on a city by city prestige level because we are not being given the option to opt-in and choose who our Guild Settlement (same for SOLO settlements) is aligned to.
We have no chance to become capital again because some people intentionally and others accidentally stole our prestige to use for themselves and their gain. And lets be clear - if we wanted to be capital we could, but we don’t want that - we just want our own identity and the prestige we worked for. Plus under the system we would be using other people’s prestige for capital status that might not have wanted to give it to us. That is unacceptable in our book.
Maybe I need to describe it another way for people to understand and get where I and my guild are coming from:
In our area I placed down 8,500 of my own plots to protect our space using my Oortian account (which I paid for fully alone, and other money to purchase plots). This does not include the countless other plots our guild members placed. We were almost certainly were the first people on Biitula and Circa because we had the first Capital on Phem and were jumping planets within about 2 hours of game release. We were definitely the first Capital on Biitula. We are now basically surrounded and have from the 2nd day of release had people build beside us instead on other parts of the planet and for all of that time had to fight to keep the name of the city we want and the prestige we worked hard for.
If people cannot understand why my guild and others want this feature, then I just don’t understand where they are coming from. But, I can certainly see why people would leave this game and never come back because of conflict situations that are forced and created every day.
For the record - we are the illuminoorti. I am speaking for them. @Havok40k is the leader.
