You can't be proud for the 1k hats you get now or got around the facebook time.

If you have one of the first 20 guilds or 30 guilds that hit 1k that is a hat to be proud to have.
I only have two 1k hats and super proud about them and a 5k hat. Soon to have the 10k mount when it is done.

You can be proud of hitting 5k but 1k is just a joke now.

My feelings are this.

I have to disagree. I think if you go from start to finish (1k) or close to it with pretty much the same core group of people that make up the majority of your guild. And you actually put in the work to get to 1k you should be proud of the hat and all the work you put in.

However if you jump in a guild with 300 or less hours to go till 1k or you just constantly afk and don't put the work in then no you are not really very deserving of the hat and shouldn't be proud of it.

So I guess for me at least its not about 1k guilds are a joke. I think there are still good players and good guilds out there that put in the work that have to fight and scrape for hours that should be proud of getting to that milestone and all the work they out forth to get there. Now that obviously excludes a lot of the recycle guilds that just keep the same members under a new name and use the same tactics (a lot of times not legal) to hold usually the same tours for long periods of time. That get a new 1k hat every couple of months. That is definately not something to be proud of.

Its like me saying players shouldn't be proud of reaching 1k because their admin leader is the only reason they got to 1k.


Dont try to make sh1t exclusive just because you fall under that category. If theres a guild that should have "proud" priorities it would be redrum since they reached 1k with less than 25 players and did it the fastest at the time of reaching 1k.

That's pretty true :/
God damnit it was my only example ._.

Cxe one month and 22 days cough cough.
But the guilds now are mostly just remakes of other guilds.
Sure people can be proud to reach 1k now but if only they have one or two 1k hats not 3+.
people like vlad, lanky, haze, pigparty and many other hat monkeys just worried the 1k hat with making remakes guilds or taking someone guild to 1k.

CxE was a remake was it not?

Honestly, there's nothing wrong with "hat chasing". Sure, the hats may lose their value to you after you have more than a couple, but you did help the leader achieve their 1,000 hour milestone.

However, it might be a bit unfair when hats are given to friends who joined at the last minute or weren't even members at all.

was but wasn't really. We made cxe to help other guilds and after a week we became a good tower guild, people liked the reason why we made it.
We did help guilds on the side while we towered.
Cruxis was pretty much dead and we still wanted to stay as a family and lay back, so CxE was made to keep us together and have fun attacking guilds and giving it to other guilds.

ftfy

The point of towering is staying loyal to one guild and competing against other guild guilds for the most hours, not hats. Not retiring a guild immediately after 1k and your guild diverging to two new tower guilds. Where's the competition in quitting after 1k?

I agree with twilit it should be about competition but it just isn't. Its all about getting the hat. Maybe not for everyone but for most.

K we get it.

everyone has their own belief on how towering should work. The point to towering is whatever the individual player makes it out to be.

No not really. Kinda really different from Cruxis.
