As for the guild resetting idea, I suggested this some month ago, I'd love that, but most people would QQ and ragequit.

@topic, Firey has accidently quit Sympathy once (he wanted to press review) and asked me to ask the Admins if his GP can be restored.
Allie answer was "We're not getting involved in guild matters anymore." Now I see Silence's GP getting moved all around.
So I kinda understand gramps even though his actions seem exaggerated.

The moving went on a long long time ago, when Allie found out about it she reset their gp, kenny just set it back to what it was, they aren't the only people to have done this

Resetting GP is debatable, but transferring GP is ****ing ridiculous. Whether or not it happened before is irrelevant, it makes no sense to keep it going.
Title: Re: Disappointed
Post by: Corr on July 02, 2012, 01:00:43 AM
You people seem to not understand about morality and principle, yea everyone here knows GP is just number and bragging rights, but the whole point is having it transferred and distributed so easily is just wrong, it's playing favorites, it's easy manipulation, it's bias and it's just because ICECOLD has money. Seriously it's the stupidest thing Red has done so far and now losing a great asset like Gramps would just make it even worse, reminds me of when Acclaim decided to **** up with some mod in 2moons (Turok) who was loved by the community and eventually had to quit because the owners of the game decided to reward a hacker because he gave a lot of money to 2moons.

It's bullshit and I think you guys really need to start looking deeper into things.

Post by: GavinGill on July 02, 2012, 01:13:41 AM
When someone earns GP, they earn it for that guild. It's the guild's accomplishment, it works hard to recruit members and organize grinds. Every member works together for the sake of helping the team progress and rise up the ranks. It doesn't matter if an individual member made those GP by grinding, those points aren't theirs to move around - they belong to the guild.

It wasn't simply a GP transfer, it was guild point theft.
Title: Re: Disappointed
Post by: Corr on July 02, 2012, 01:27:36 AM
That GP shouldn't exist, it's just disturbing the balance of competition. Which is kind of what the point of guilds are all about.

Title: Re: Disappointed
Post by: VictorxM on July 02, 2012, 01:31:50 AM
There should be a weekly ranking for guilds, not overall ranking,
1st, 2nd and 3rd guilds in the ranking would get some prizes, not OP prizes, only a "well done, bro" prize.
I think it'd be cool. :3
Title: Re: Disappointed
Post by: 123bomb123 on July 02, 2012, 01:32:22 AM

A flag won't do anything Missy. >________>, sometimes it's better to flat out punish and break rather than give an unlimited number of chances. I may sound like a conspirator but at least I back it up. Only reason why ICE gets his GP transferred or anyone else that's up there in terms of money/power/authority/major popularity is because of all those reasons. It shouldn't be that way because it's just morally wrong, get it.

I like the idea of resetting everyone's GP right now but peeps are just gonna ragequit, you gotta nip this shit in the butt to create stability again, otherwise you're playing with a broken system and a ****ed up hierarchy.

I don't know, anything would be cool. And also, there would not be a huge difference between one guild and another, since they all would have the same chance every week/month. It would be all about real hard grinding.

I'm all for a GP reset, but like Corr said, it'd just result in a lot of players quitting. The only two viable options we have right now are:

1. Undo the GP transfer and never do anything similar again. Then we carry on as usual.
2. Undo the GP transfer and never do anything similar again. Then (like Poke suggested) we save all the current rankings and post them on an "old rankings" page (name can be changed), and then we reset for a new season of GP rankings.

I'm all for guild flags. That actually gives me an idea :0

@muncay: That doesn't matter, like corr said GP are earned and are a guild's achievement, but if I may add GP is a individual achievement that every member contributes to their guild and if they decide to leave they leave with their achievements, or at least that's how I see it, and now taking out the unfairness to other guilds I belieeve it's also unfair for your members, ice left silence once as you said, if he rejoins isn't he supposed to start from 0? but oh no, in just couple hours master og ice and lady oq ice had 24mil gp aprox, that's no where fair if you ask me.

Title: Re: Disappointed
Post by: Corr on July 02, 2012, 03:46:31 AM
^ Exactly what droidzylon said, and as I said before, it's not about the actual rank/GP, it's about the principle. You're characterizing people and giving them benefits for no real reason as opposed to someone who doesn't have merit.

Take for example I am a nobody in this game and I made 50million GP in my guild and I've been in the guild since day 1.
For some odd reason I quit by accident or a glitch happened or I was just on my period or whatever.

If I ask Fira/Kenny to reset my GP they would say no.

If ICE or someone with power or someone with a lot of money ask and is in the same situation as me then Fira/Kenny would be like "kay here ya go want some more to go with it?"

That's the major point. Reset GP, lets all start over, cause for the sake of competition, friendships/allies, pride, moral, and hax; These things need to happen. I don't believe resetting ICE's GP ONLY would do any good, because at one point something like this will happen again and has happened in the past. Reset, lets start over, clean slate. Game is active and people will have a new purpose. Too do this though we might have to minimize the guild capacities too 30 or 35. Fifty is just a lot for no real reason. Alt's and double clienting are gonna be exploited more and more.

I also think the "GM accounts" shouldn't be allowed in guilds for obvious reasons.

Counter proposal: GP is based on sector, sector is based on amount of time spent on it, and the skill with which you can do it, so shouldn't the principle of the matter be that members have worked for their gp in some form or another, so no matter where they go they shouldn't lose it, lest you say that work never happened
Title: Re: Disappointed

Like Gavin said, leaving the guild is leaving everything you accomplished with it and shouldn't be something to regain (Paraphrase). If the work never happened the GP shouldn't be added. It's like getting something for nothing, ruins the balance of things. Also their are also other ways to get GP, even though the main one is sector/survival mode. Still can't count out the other ones when people got on for 6x or whatever and gained universal levels of GP. It's just wrong.

But GP is often gained as an effort by the whole guild (Grinding) it's selfish to say that a person leaving the guild should discount the efforts of others to help them level, gain gp, and prosper in general. I'd point to a game called Pandora Saga as having a guild system that's admirable, all gp gained by members is basically owned by the guild as a whole so no matter who quits the gp remains with the guild. It cuts guild drama/politics a lot because no one needs to fight over members, if a member leaves, then a member leaves, no big deal.

Basically why should the actions of the few affect that of the many

Well this isn't Pandora Saga, this is Boutcheetah. It's selfish to leave the guild with that many points or whatever regardless so he/she shouldn't leave in the first place. But the person did. Besides, people can still get a huge amount of GP just by soloing, it's not totally a team effort (I.E sunshine or whatever had basically 2 members with a combination of a zillion GP, everyone else just put minimal to moderate GP). Also, by guild's owner? What if the owner decides to leave, no matter what's done their is always a drawback to these kind of things, because we all have human error and nobody on this forum whether is from the smart people or the owners can find a perfect system. No such thing. That's why I say we start from scratch, or let this bullshit continue to happen and piss off more great people in the game like Gramps.

It's never too late to restart man. Everyone wants to reset their life at one point in time, and if it was possible they would take the first opportunity to do it.

stayed in one of them till it died ... so yeah basically if you leave a guild then you arn't that devoted to it so your gp and accomplishments shouldn't matter ...

how about the person who created the guild
Again, if the guild leader owned all the GP it would cause a lot of problems within other members (I.E someone who gets the most GP, while others do nothing then that person will feel used despite the notion that "everyone is one in a guild") It'd be a bigger **** up cause this game relies on everyone pulling their weight, that's why GP is gained and put on the board by the person who makes it. So people will notice who does the work and who just shows up.

guild leader doesnt own the gp the guild does. the leader just runs the guild...also you know who grinds in your guild and who doesnt if not it shows your not doing much

I mean you could do it, but you'd upset a huge portion of the community, I'm saying that if this had been done long ago, it'd work a lot better.

As for who would own it, no one needs to, let the guild own the gp, then there's a leader of the guild, who may lead the guild and have payed for it, but doesn't technically own it, as anyone can lead the guild if that person leaves. Basically gp would turn into less of just a point system, and more of just proving the legacy behind that guild.

That's why Gavin's idea is better.

Keep an OLD Rankings so people can piss their nostalgia juice out.
Then make a new one like a "S2" or whatever.

Again- Like mo said, guilds are about devotion, their are a lot of different people/personalities in this forum and some are more sensitive then others, it just wouldn't feel right to them if they don't see their own amount of GP they contributed on the members list. Legacy's have already been built in this game, it's been here for 3 years now.

Simple solution: Split GP into season's/sagas/etc. The current GP would go into the ranks as the first season's standings, then we reset everyone's GP and that starts the second season. People would still be able to see their GP from the first season by checking the rankings. It would still be there so there'd be no reason for anyone to be mad about the reset.

Counter proposal: GP is based on sector, sector is based on amount of time spent on it, and the skill with which you can do it, so shouldn't the principle of the matter be that members have worked for their gp in some form or another, so no matter where they go they shouldn't lose it, lest you say that work never happened
No, that's bull. That defeats the entire purpose of the competitive guild system that was programmed into the game. Quitting a guild is supposed to be a sacrifice, you have to lose something to prevent people from just randomly guild hopping. =/

Quote from: zepher2211 on July 02, 2012, 04:09:50 AMI'd point to a game called Pandora Saga as having a guild system that's admirable, all gp gained by members is basically owned by the guild as a whole so no matter who quits the gp remains with the guild. It cuts guild drama/politics a lot because no one needs to fight over members, if a member leaves, then a member leaves, no big deal.
Running a guild is supposed to take skill. Pandora Saga's system doesn't take very much skill at all given your description of it. You're supposed to be able to keep a guild together and only select a loyal few to join you, if you're not able to keep everyone together - you face the consequences. ie. a loss in GP. If there's no penalty for leaving, then there's absolutely no challenge.

When this game was created, it was designed with 5 competitive aspects in mind:

Sector - alive (5/5)

BvB - dead. (4/5 left)

PvP - dead. (3/5 left)

The competitive market/economy -  dead. (2/5 left)

Guilds - dying (1/5 left)

Allie and Redeyes can't expect to maintain a game when only 1/5th of it is left standing. Who's going to want to play a game like that for an extended period of time? There's a reason the playersbase has dwindled down to so little, and it's because their's absolutely no challenge. None. At all. I stopped playing this game for over a year, I came back, and even on my level 10 I'm able to beat people that are over 10 times my level. Not because I'm good, I'm terrible compared to the average BOTS!! Acclaim player atm (rust D:), but because there's no competition here that challenges people to improve.

This entire game was designed with competitiveness at it's core, but it's shit like this that's stripping all that away. B.Cheetah had the potential to be even bigger than the original BOTS!!. We had an active staff team, the updates were player driven, we had total control over the game, etc. Everything was in our favor. But did we last? Nope. We had a large playerbase at the start while the game was competitive but when the game became les and less challenging as the days went by, people got bored and left.

The guild system is one of the few remaining reasons why people still play this game. Ruin that, and this game won't last. Hell, it isn't lasting. If we want to save this game, we need go back to how things were when we all fell in love with BOTS!! and make things challenging again. And fixing the GP issue is the first step.

Restarting the GPs would bring back competition.
If you want to start a guild nowadays and you want it to be famous, you practically have no chance.
I mean look at the first 3 guilds for example, they have so many GPs that smaller guilds won't even bother trying to get close to them.
Resetting all the GPs would also give newer guilds a chance to stand out, would bring older and newer players to the game for the competition, to be #1.
It would be great if once every few months this would happen, the GPs would be reset, and everyone would compete once again to be #1.
This could also happen to the base rankings, the pvp rankings, the sector rankings and so on.
A reward could also be given, but being #1 in the rankings is enough for most of us.
Title: Re: Disappointed
Post by: NeoKiller on July 02, 2012, 07:37:52 AM
Guild rankings resetting idea along with no GP moving ftw !!
Once you leave a guild your GP is lost forever, if you rejoin the same guild you restart at 0.
That's how it was in BOTS!!, that's how it is everywhere, and that's how it should be here.

-20 players max
-Reset guild rankings every 1 year on a fixed date. At the end, the top 3 guilds get some crazy ass ungiftable flags or some shit.
-Allow a bigger variation for gp attainability. **** sector, what about PvP/BvB? It shouldn't just be for "FUN LOL" cuz obviously that isn't working and bs is kind of a worthless prize atm. Allow gp to be obtained from PvP/BvB along with other stuff. Make it different from Sector where there's a goal to obtain while having fun. Something that Sectorers could get if they PvP'd, and something that non-pvp/bvbers could do without. (idk random ass item like b.s or maybe drops in pvp .__.')

2. I was disagreeing with competition being the main focus, I believe the social part was the real focus, or else they would have given more weight on gp, such as rewards towards the guilds (thinking about the way other games developers handle it with guild buffs and stuff) as is unless you focus on rankings the only time you'll ever see gp is like a side note in the guild summary thing that some members don't look at lol

3. I was referencing the fact that you said being a guild leader is supposed to take skill such as holding members in your guild, and losing them is penalized by the loss of gp, considering my guilds long running track record with members and gp xD

Another thing to think about is that we used to get more or less EXP at a lot of points, I don't think the EXP was determined back then. Now that the Admins have settled on a system a reset would work wonders imo~

A gm gun isn't really op compared to a +7 elektra TA II skilled patch. They were before the bs nerf though. We could argue all day about this, but having a gm gun doesn't even come close to having over 20m gp a guild shouldn't have/END/not arguing over past crap.
Pig, i have quit, (dunno why i still have forum admin) i will only return if this game is made fair/point to this thread.
Ice, pointless post, reason above.

Quote from: zepher2211 on July 03, 2012, 01:48:12 AM2. I was disagreeing with competition being the main focus, I believe the social part was the real focus, or else they would have given more weight on gp, such as rewards towards the guilds (thinking about the way other games developers handle it with guild buffs and stuff) as is unless you focus on rankings the only time you'll ever see gp is like a side note in the guild summary thing that some members don't look at lol
Ah, kk. Difference of opinions I guess.

Quote from: zepher2211 on July 03, 2012, 01:48:12 AM3. I was referencing the fact that you said being a guild leader is supposed to take skill such as holding members in your guild, and losing them is penalized by the loss of gp, considering my guilds long running track record with members and gp xD
Oh, duh.  :-X

I support the idea of a GP reset. Start off from scratch would definitely make this game better and make a lot of players come back.

Ice did that for you Muncay.

I do agree on the whole GM Gun thing, if this reset does happen I'll put my GM acc in Zylon Staff -- or I'll stop using my GM Gun at all. (even though we don't really use it for hardcore grinds, so it'd be for assurance)

I don't recall saying otherwise, I said I was the one that requested, but that might have been in a p.m, don't remember

@Gavin's sig, you can't undo every GP transfer so just reset it all.

@sora, first overall guild for the month gets a flag for all members?
A flag won't do anything Missy. >________>, sometimes it's better to flat out punish and break rather than give an unlimited number of chances. I may sound like a conspirator but at least I back it up. Only reason why ICE gets his GP transferred or anyone else that's up there in terms of money/power/authority/major popularity is because of all those reasons. It shouldn't be that way because it's just morally wrong, get it.

I like the idea of resetting everyone's GP right now but peeps are just gonna ragequit, you gotta nip this shit in the butt to create stability again, otherwise you're playing with a broken system and a ****ed up hierarchy.

@OG ice is true story ... lol ..

I totally agree with Gavin's post a few pages back.  All BoutCheetah is anymore is just grinding sector - I don't even really feel much nostalgia from Acclaim's BOTS, since, as Gavin said, only 20% of the greatness of BOTS is present in the current BoutCheetah.  

My $0.02:

I think PvP/BvB exp should be drastically increased.  You may say 'NO!!  PEOPLE WILL ABUSE THAT AND LEVEL UP FAST!!'.  Well, to that I say how is someone abusing PvP/BvB any different from getting a level 1, finding a friend that is 221, having them grind 228 in 2 minutes on hard and getting 10k exp.  I'd rather have two revived modes that a small minority will abuse for exp than have one legitimately playable mode.  For most people, I think, sector only has a limited amount of interest compared to the other two modes.  I mean, for God's sake - you play the same identical thing EVERY time (which is the computer), when you could be playing against the other players of the game.  I would take a game that everyone is maxed out in level and just PvP/BvBs much rather than a game with monotonous repetition of the same level, playing against the computer.  How is that any different than a game in which it is easy to abuse the multiplayer part of the game?  I mean, I don't even really know the rates in PvP/BvB as there is no one to ever play them in, but I know that they are not very high.  What if you doubled, even tripled or quadrupled that amount?  Especially in BvB, it is very difficult to get exp, which is why no on is ever in that mode.  That would make GP and exp actually possible to attain in PvP, and you would actually have fun doing it.    For example, an OK game of base would 15, maybe 20 minutes long.  In that time, you would earn probably a few hundred, maybe a couple thousand (over-estimate), exp.  If you spent 10 minutes of 228 on hard during 3x, you earn 40k+ exp, assuming you're taking 2.5 minutes each round.  Because of this, there are virtually no new players (i.e. not from BOTS Acclaim) that want to spend a longer time obtaining almost no exp.  

I think a reset of GP + 30 member limit would be best for guilds.  It would probably be best to split the current amounts into some type of archived section, so that people that spent a lot of time would still have the proof of their hard work somewhere.  However, now that BoutCheetah is much less hackable than before, the new GP amounts would be much more credible.  A lower limit for max players in a guild would allow for more competition between guilds, as all of the more experienced players could not all be in a couple of guilds, so there would be more than two or three rivalries.

The market is beyond repair.  +8 would be ridiculous, and when you have a paid section of the game, it is almost impossible to have a legitimate economic system.  It just doesn't work.

Sooooo...... that's 4/5 ;o.

Example:

16:46 BvB game gives 110 exp

1:38 Sector game, level 215 doing level 66 gives 120 exp

Honestly, I'm surprised you're only disappointed now. The whole guild system in Bots is just pathetic. Ranking a guild by points is a really stupid concept. All it does is show how much people play the game in the first place. You want guilds to be competitive over points? Imo, a guild should be competitive within itself over a specific game mode (sector, PvP, BvB). At least that way, the players actually do something interesting, have fun, and get better at the game.

Why not? Competing with fellow guild mates allows you to play a game mode and become better at it. When I played Evo, I really only played BvB with people in cb420swag because people outside of that guild were terrible (and still are).

I have to agree with this. Its really fun to have guild pvp matches or base matches together and help eachother improve your skills.
