This, completely different things. I really cannot be bothered to explain in detail though, I'd rather have some peace from the whole guild aspect of the game which has annoyed me for months. One thing though, things are completely different at the top and you'll notice once things become stagnant for you.

This is what we are trying to combat If there are constantly people right behind you, it's a little more fun

But it isn't. When people are constantly behind you, it takes away from the feeling of actually being in the lead. It's definitely a step in the right direction, but it is also taking away from what some people like. And with the case of SH, a lot of the players had put more effort into the game than others and were annoyed by the fact that it didn't mean anything due to changes.

Many left leaving messages and went inactive due to this. Oh well, lets see how it all goes if the system works it will be nice to see

Well, they are just plain wrong. Nobody who was in the lead before is any weaker now. And, guilds which pull their weight are still on top. Nobody has lost any power, so for them to use that as an excuse to leave or cause trouble is wrong wrong wrong. And this ranking formula change doesn't make weak people strong either. If you are an active and powerful guild, you will be on top. If you are a largely inactive guild, you won't be so high up. surely this is the way of things

Opinion is subjective, they can't just be wrong because someone has a differing view on the subject matter.

I suppose it is seen as fair for those of you who have been playing catch-up, but for those who have earned their place above the rest, it is just seen as being screwed out of their placing amongst the ranks. It's actually quite sad to see people feel this way after putting effort into their accounts.

Christ, I must be living in a parallel universe The way I see it, nobody is worse off then anyone else, because everyone has all of the same stats, or proportunately lower/higher amount. Guilds aren't any less fair, and no guild suddenly became crap because of no fault of their own. They only go weak if people left. There is no perspective that makes them hard done by. I spent months ensuring that nobody would suddenly lose their status. Look at you, king pummel t! Do you think anyone has caught up with you? Nobody has surpa**ed me, or louby, or anyone else I can think of. I don't know where you are getting the unfair perspective from. I do know that some people left because they felt it was unfair, but they simply didn't understand the changes.

EDIT: I'm sorry about the lack of paragraphs! IE7 is evil. I think i know a workaround though
