    Devs please balance rivalry. The pearl cut has now made it pay to win. We rolled pearls won into boosts but now that is gone basically. Guilds with pay to win members now spend hundreds or more on boosts to ensure they win the tokens. Most of us normal players can't compete with money loaded guilds. Boosts should be added to raffle or removed to make competition fair. Also the quest boards should be exactly the same for each guild in the rivalry. Some quests are easier than others but the same quests make it fair for all.
    Rivalry has made the game more fun but now the pay to win element has made it miserable and impossible for normal players to enjoy friendly and fair competition. I hope this is adjusted to help improve the game experience for all. Thanks for listening.

    pearl rewards used to be either balanced enough OR ONLY A LITTLE BIT TOO HIGH,the lowest reward is supposed to be 50pearls or more :(

    We only used raffle pearls for boosts. But this season we have very few boosts so it had a huge impact to the rivalry

    It would make for more interesting rivalries if guilds were matched according to # of quests completed last season (or on average).

    I think guild leaderboard position is the predominant factor.

    I see guilds with exclusively wins - Thats almost impossible if you get evenly matched.
    ---
    We keep getting into rivalries with the same guilds, despite them consistantly beating us by 15+ quests.

    No major complaint though, neither me nor my teammates play (and spent as many $$$) as the guilds we face in rivalries. We did however have a noticeable increase in activity, pearl bought boosts and fun, in the one season where we had a chance to fight for top spots.

    Mainly it looks silly when previous top guilds actively recruits low infamy players to avoid end game rivalries.

    Sorry but putting guilds that use boosts into their own rivalry league is counter intuitive.
    So if you do not spend money and buy boosts, you will be matched with easier opponents who do not use boosts.
    If you spend money on the game to gain an advantage, you will be matched with all the P2W tryhards hitting 60 quests?
    So spending money on boosts, is actually a disadvantage, doesn't that sound pretty ludicrous!

    It's not only the buying boosts, our board 5 had carronade and s mortar which took forever, our competitors didn't have these same weapons on their board five. By the time we got to board six we didn't have time to finish it. All boards should be identical within the rivalry competeion imo. Despite 64 quests completed we still were second place.

    they need add more formula for matchmaking guild in rivalry, still unfair right now.

    either add how many quest they reach maximum or add how many guild win in position 1 until 6.


    i agree too in whole rivalry team, all board should be same.

    Be happy that you dont get matched against even competition & will win 95% of rivalries :)

    I was so surprised to know rivals don't have same quests.
    I don't know on what basis we are competing when there is no common ground. Last season we came first # 2 guild were giving us tough competition until they had 2 so hard quests napalm and flare and we won by 1 quest. This so unfair guilds are running different races and their results are compared. How is this fair?

    But that is the issue as well. We don't mind competition as long as it is fair competition. Same quests and inability to spam purchase quest boosts would make it a fair platform and help increase the competitive prowess of this game. If we lose fair and square so be it, that is on us,but to be handicapped by different quests and lack of funds to quintuple the power of you guild at anytime is beyond reason.
