We should involve ourselves in F2P PvP more imo.

We just rarely go to F2P nowadays, all we do is P2P, and when we actually do it, we have 20 people at the max. Most of the times we don't have more than these EVEN with friends allowed. I believe we should start getting ourselves involved more often in it, not daily like PK clans, but perhaps 2-3 times a week.

We should also consider involving ourselves in PKRI's, they're not expensive at all if you just manage 5 rune sets in your bank (Everyone in WG probably has over 5m worth of items, except for F2P'ers). It's a real good source of recruitment, fun and reputation.

Planned PK run ins with a 1 hour cap if done once every 2-3 weeks instead of that 2-3 weeks war, would be great. 1 hour cap means you won't lose more than 5 sets most of the time (Except for Raid leaders, tongue.gif). They would also give a proper preperation time for the clan, I'm sure anyone with P2P in WG could make about 1m cash when given a week prepration time. It shouldn't be a problem really.

One final note please, this is NOT a skilling vs warring or any of that none sense topic, this is purely about Raiding and Run in's, so watch what you're typing here before you post, please.

It's not? It's about F2P PKs, it has nothing to do with skilling vs warring.

Wha? He's allowed to suggest different types of PvP, were doing it regardless.

And Raging, I most certainly agree.
Only problem is they're like 10x as likely to get crashed.

If we can get the opts and the will, crashing will be the least of our problems really.

A lot of clans are willing to help out with AC'ing most of the time. Such as: DF, TT, Corruption and EoS.

f2p is better for pking because you learn strategy and its not all DDSing and barrages.

Yeah, I was pushing for this while I was active: I was royally pissed at my inability to attend events because you can't do shit if you're F2P.

Isn't this what the weekly raids are for?

In any case, if this is what we think I suggest we add another three weekly raids that are our F2P raids. This way there is an equal opportunity for people to go P2P PvP and F2P PvP.

I'm not exactly a big fan of run-ins, but I could go for more F2P raids.

Guys, 5 rune sets with one week prep, it's really not that hard to pull since you get a whole week prep. If you die more than 5 times or you don't have more sets then you did your best and it's very much appreciated.
Anyone with P2P can make over 1m a day without no lifing, I'm sure you can make 1m in a week.

F2P Raiding is all about unplanned run in's, we don't do those :S

Its too hard for WG to do pkri's cause you get the winging little shits that say "Omg I can't afford 5 sets".
Not that you'd actually lose 5 sets within a 1 hr pkri, but yeah.
Since we get those little tantrums thrown towards us every time we mention pkri's, I can see why they're not held often.

So annoying.
Half of WG just need to go godwars or barrows for a week straight.
The amount of people who 'claim' they're poor sickens me.
We're a warring/raiding clan.
Clean up the act and buy some sets.

You really don't need to go GWD or Barrows to get 1m, you can get 300k per hour at Green Dragons.

Yessir.
we need:

-More f2p raids.
-Better attendance.
-Better Attitude towards it

Hopefully more people get into it when we start to pull better opts to these raids.

I think a poll on how many are interested might give you a better idea of how this would go.

I have to be honest I am not likely to attend, but maybe have some kind of poll to see what kind of wars your most likely to get more members to come to. If council does the poll have it so you must post like for an activity check as well so you know you have gotten responses from everyone. I just don't want to see more events planned with low attendance that leads to unhappy members.

Good luck with your warring.
