Believe it or not back in the early tower days guilds took towers for bragging rights and to be at the top of the leaderboard. There is no spirit of competition anymore for taking towers. No more rivalries. The tower system sucks and I only wish people could have experienced it during the earlier days on iClassic. Back then nobody was in it for the hat, it was to prove dominance and gain recognition as a guild.
Now who gives a rats behind about fort time? It's nothing special anymore.

Before PULSE reached 1k it was all about stats. Same way sparring is now. You would only tower just to be at the top. No one knew that you would receive a hat for reaching 1k until PULSE did. And most guilds still didn't really care so much at that time about it either. People were still busy ganking one another left and right to be at the top. And you know what? It was fun. The competition, the wars, the hatred between guilds. Sure it seemed silly and somewhat immature, but things got exhilarating the way things lit up. When you reached 1k back then it was an accomplishment. Not everyone was cut out for it and that's what made you feel proud of you and those who helped. Hats were trophies back then. Trophies that have begun to lose their glow as of late...
