I am in EyeBeat in game.

I just wanted to chime in and say the last few days I played with goonsquad has been awesome. A bunch of pirating and taking over boats with Balista a couple of nights ago. Last night we killed fishing boats with werkwerk and balista.

The drama that everyone keeps bringing up is over and not even being brought up on comms anymore.

I will admit I thought about leaving to join another guild because of the castle thing but I decided to stay based on the last week of having a "gently caress everything" attitude and killing other guilds. It really makes the game a lot more fun and exciting.

I can't tell you how many times we came across other guilds on sea and we couldn't do anything because we were allied. Now it is just KILL THEM. Really fun!

Some of the most fun I've had in MMOs with goons is when we weren't tied down, like a castle would do to us in this game. Just roaming with a bunch of people and loving other peoples days up has always been the peak of MMO entertainment for me.

I think repurposing Goon Squad into a roaming mercenary force aimed at annoying/hassling anyone and everyone would be a good time and a good fit for our current situation.

What are the advantages of owning land in Auroria? The only one I could think of is being close to the source of water for those archeum tree (since the water is a trade pack, I think).

I really don't think I would uproot any of my properties in East/West just for that

There are only 3 things required to squeeze the best juice of ArcheAge:

1.) buncha goons
2.) buncha harpoon clippers
3.) boat with a radar + guy marking boats

Funneling to the guy that keeps giving us pack materials and packs in payment for helping him move things? Have you even logged into the game or mumble in the past few days?

Between him, Werkwerk, and a few others, 10-20 people a day get free mats to craft packs for themselves on the Eastern continent, ferry them to the west, and let them turn it in for ~20 gold profit in under 30 minutes.

I play for hours each day, and I don't care who he is, funneling resources to any one person is stupid as gently caress as has been proven only like 10 times previously

I'm not in GS but why don't you guys just do a weekly membership tax or something? All members pay 50 gold a week or equivalent in raw materials to a slush fund and then keep the difference for themselves.

My guild funnels all their money to me and it works fine but we're only ~12 people and have know each other for a while; I don't think this stuffs viable with a large amount of people b/c this kind of stuff takes trust and if the trust isn't there poo poo falls apart fast. Expecting people to give their time and elf gold to someone they don't have a relationship with past "They also payed 10$" seems like a great way to build resentment.

idk just free styling over here.

We don't really do anything strategically anymore, and what we do as a guild now has a major focus on having fun and personal profit, the other way of trying hard was bad and lead to a lot of people getting hurt feelings.

Everyone should just remake the alliances with the pubbie guilds and then get some of their stuff and fraps a video of those materials being dumped/destroyed/vendored like a hosed up Boston tea Party and post the video all over publicly

Goons are just pubbies who gave lowtax 10$. We're not masons or blood brothers or w/e and Games and LP is the biggest source of new members for the forums.

My post was pointed at anyone in GS who still thinks goon communism is workable after all the goonfucking and splintering that has gone on. If you wanted that poo poo to work it would have had to have been a tax because even if a goon took the treasury and high tailed it it would have been a pretty small percentage of what you guys are able to bring in.

Kimsemus' plan of not giving a gently caress and just playing to have fun and make people mad is the only realistic plan you can have when it comes to coordinating with goons.

Lots of people don't seem to realize that the reason goons are 'so much better' than pubbies in most of these games is that goons usually communicate and work together to a certain extent.
