What about EVERYONE ELSE that doesnt get to participate due to the excess of teams? Ur saying like 200 teams wasted 500-1000 gralats, which adds up to 1400 people lol.

Refunds. Also not gralats, it would probably be guild points.

Yes which is why I addressed it, you are rewarded for performing duties to help the Castle.

200 gralats is not generous at all... if we want to put that to the test I would be more than happy to kill 1,000 pyrats or bandits and see. You can't compare them side by side in this case, catching 1,000 bugs is much more difficult than killing 1,000 baddies. It isn't even close.
I'm adjusting it to NGS levels, where baddies could (theoretically) become more difficult to kill. Though I will agree that there will likely be baddies available to be killed always, since there are so many of them.

...but it is still the undisputed best way to earn gralats in the game. I'm not arguing over how much it makes sense as a game, of course the reward for doing so makes complete sense, but I think it is unfair to say baddy killing is not a monetary rewarding activity. It has that attached to it, as well as loot drops and gralat drops.

Who said remove? I clearly stated that I wasn't lobbying for the removal of bking points, just the inclusion of bugs.

I don't really see a reason to not add it in some facet; Aguzo's suggestion of making you be able to turn them in for points instead would work quite nicely. It doesn't make sense to not include more facets of the game into the new guild system, why would you leave some players out when there are options available?

This even is a win for the competitive community, because if people see that they could earn more points by doing competitive activties they'll switch, since catching bugs is a slow process (and would become even slower if they were worth points, since there would be more competition). It could become a gateway of sorts.

Now that I think about it. They probably didn't bother to include casual activities for that specific reason. This forces more people to play competitively, and bring back those who don't spar, pk, or bk much anymore

If they were to add the more casual activities to the points system, then maybe it wouldn't have the same effect. *to bring in more competition for these dying activities*

no it would be really fair trust me

Anyone can kill baddies, it really doesn't take any skill to get on the baddy leaderboard, its more based on how much free time you have. Which is why it would be cool if new baddies with different rarity/levels of skill were implemented into the new Ngs system. For example at destiny they have the lizardon which is definitely the hardest baddy to kill, so that baddy should obviously give more points then just your standard green baddy/bandit/pirat. But maybe they could even add a more difficult baddy then that into the playerworld that even gives more points. Basically to make bking more of a challenge and skill based then just how much free time you have in a day.

There's a lot more money to be made in *SOME* bounty missions than others. If you spend the time to kill 100 green blobs in the swamp, you will no doubt make more than 200 gralats during the process. However, in the same amount of time you could make more money looting and/or catching bugs than the 1000 gralat turn in on the blobs. If you get the Pyrat or Bandit Mission, though, you can kill them extremely fast in large groups and it takes a fraction of the time, making it a better return on time spent.

On a side note, the mission to fight bats and crabs, while the required numbers are much lower, might be considered the average or standard due to the difficulty of hitting the damn things... you would still have to be pretty lucky or skilled at catching bugs with the current spawn rates to make more than 1000 gralats worth in the equivalent amount of time.
