It seems a bit unfair to punish players for a preferred play style.

Yeah, “punishing” … that’s what’s happening here…

The term punishing does not always apply to a disciplinary action. I believe the term was appropriate, but to put it in simpler terms, it feels as though they are allowing the game function to harm those who choose small guilds over massive ones.

While I agree that the upgrades are seriously expensive, they are not meant to be completed in a week.

of course, but with a guild like ours, just a single upgrade will require nearly all of our time and money…

I’ve been looking forward to HoT for a very long time, especially due to Guild Halls. My 7-person guild was looking forward to having a place to call home, so we were a bit excited. However, the extreme costs of upgrades was just insane. The initial expedition cost was reasonable enough, but just the first upgrade would either force us to grind dry top, or wipe out all our funds. These costs may be fair for massive guilds with plenty of donors, but many small guilds are rendered helpless by these costs. It may be one thing to offer the big guilds a better guild hall, but we can’t even afford the first upgrade. Some could argue that we should either merge with a big guild or try to grow, but we, and many others people prefer small groups, where everyone knows each other. It seems a bit unfair to punish players for a preferred play style. Of course balancing it would be difficult to implement, but the current system is unusable. Even if we gave up all our personal costs, such as new armor and equipment, we still could never afford the upgrades. At this rate, most people are going to swarm nothing but the big guilds, purely so they can have a decent guild hall….

Eredon Terrace is in the middle of an Exodus right now….. We just had 3 major guilds leave in a week. One of these guilds [Flames of Courage] was pretty much the only thing between us and utter oblivion….

How do you get Nomad weapon Recipes now? I keep seeing it saying random chance online, but i’ve bought nomad recipes in the past.
