People who are remotely motivated to WoE already do WoE. Of the current 4 guilds that we consider woe-active, ALL of them are recruiting and at least some (if not also all) of them will take you in even if you are a low level ungeared player. At least 2 of those guild also don't require to be 100% woe active and starting a new guild is also always a possibility even if it's not a walk in the park (but who says it has to be?), so imo woe is accessible to anyone, be they casual or hardcore about it.
We've added small rewards for everyone who just shows up, even if they don't land a castle at the end and get chests, they can still get their hands on consumables, bg keys and gears (just shield for now, but more will be added).
I think we're already catering as best as we can to those eventual "potential woe players" and now it's up to them to do their part. Aside from extra participation rewards, further changes, if any, are likely to be directed at the existing woers.
Having played before on 20-castles servers I can say that at least in those cases the scenario did not occur as Adrillf expects it to. Lowering the castle amount to 1 is also a no go. 2 to 4 castles is the middle ground to cater to both the dominant guild(s) and aspiring guild(s), it's never gonna be perfect but for now we'll remain at 3. Playing the yoyo-castle amount has never made the woe community happy.
Thank you everyone for your input and for staying polite for the most part. @Landon if you cannot express yourself properly and respect the forum rules please refrain from posting.
