towering will always be a social cuddlefest until you can no longer recruit and kick members with no consequence

that has been stated numerous times, and being limited to one ally would be great (actual allied seperate guild, not a sub spot)

Loyal guilds, towering with friends, more guilds to fight over each tower.

Maybe now would be a great time for that DP Tower Guild idea you started to organize.

It wouldn't matter, no one or two guilds will make a change in what towering currently is

Towering was (probably, since I wasn't around for it) competitive when it first became a thing because it's fresh, new, everyone wants those early records, everyone wants to be the best the fastest, etc.

Time passed and people adjusted and now there's some sort of a meta and every new towering guild follows that same model, which is to make a guild, ally just about everyone possible, recruit just about everyone possible, and make an effort to achieve 1k hours in the most painless way possible

That will never change until it's forced, but honestly I'm not even sure if it needs to be changed... Apparently a lot of people seem to enjoy it, since there are always people towering
We complain on these forums about it, but maybe towering is best as some stale two-month social experience that guilds are currently getting out of it

I enjoyed my time in at least 4 of the 5 tower guilds I ran, but I can honestly say it wasn't a very competitive or engaging gameplay experience

...i actually like having a tower :(
i like running around and getting angry at PKers
memories, man

I think we should capture the Leaning Tower on Silver Lion tag.
