Skilling and WG
By Anthony69 on 29/06/2008
Are they two oil and water now?
Wg has moved away from skills i can understand that now but why, it was never the huge crowd pleaser but wg did it never the same. Why now has this changed i'd like to know?

We still skill it's just that CWPL takes priority thought.
By Indivi2you on 29/06/2008
Yeah, with CWPL not many skilling huge events can take place. We've talked it over, and like Armir said before, it takes priority.

Wars are more important then skilling i think it gets more people to join ect
By Alexo37683 on 29/06/2008
I like them both, but rather war more than skill

Saad, you used to love skilling. I'm not sure whats happened since then, but I've found it harder to get along with you when all you do is GWD and train combat.
Still love ya bro, but WG and its members (to me) just aren't the same since we kinda forgot about skilling.

We still do skills. We had skill of the week running, but we have postponed those for PS. We still host TOG and various skilling events. They are just not the main part of this clan. Warring is the strong point to WG and you can see that in plain sight.

Anthony I know where you are coming from but WG will be WG we are a fighting clan and unfortunate skilling is just a side. People join WG for the wars.

I am quite sure we will start skilling again once we get used to cwpl a bit more.

Excuse me Ali, but I didn't join WG for the wars. I was here for the skills, and to me warring was just a side thing. Things have changed since then, and its really disappointing. You too used to be one of the biggest skillers I knew, what happened Ali?
By Phat_Camplol on 30/06/2008
I joined to skill and it failed hard.. ended up doing wars non stop. So i joined a skiller "community" thats even nubier with skills but do more events still

I don't see why we can't have more skilling events alongside the CWPL. It only takes up at most two days a week. Now that most are out of school, there could always be more events during the week.
There's also always the option to make up your own events, that's what Sonix did recently with the Ape Atoll event.

Thats how i feel.

Ever since the skill sector went, skills have been facing a slow decline. Now we're almost completely war-based.
However, not everyone are testesterone-filled war addicts. We have many people who would enjoy a skill event.
We have the odd one, but we have plenty room for more. Look at agility. Agility is extremely useful in wars. At times, more useful than attack, defence, or strength, as a fast recovery is vital. Everyone enjoys an agility event, what happened to them?
The appropriate leadership should really spend a little time sketching out the potential of the skilling side and how to keep it going, because atm is extremely neglected.
Its easy to say 'we are doing CWPL atm, there's no time'. But really, the war takes up a max 2 hours. Agility is part of the training and there are many other skills which can help people to chill out, and even gain money to aid in the training. If no one has time to concentrate on the skilling side, elect someone else into leadership who can. We have many people with such potential.

Make them equal events after cpwl is gone and we win
By Renoldojr10 on 30/06/2008
I still am Sonix, I am just pointing you the facts of WG, I mean we tried with the skill sector and still do till now, but honestly what can I tell you man? I love Skills but the Skills will kick back in I will tell you that now. Once this CWPL is over there will be no more to resort to then skilling and I am sure the skill leaders and other leaders will not mind a break for some skilling events. Such as skill wars and so on. I hosted two skill wars for this clan and they worked out fine. The first once we had something like 18m and second one like 21m exp in 2 weeks. There is a need and it will be heard.

By Bambaleo on 30/06/2008
you know anthony that all i do is skilling

but i just can't be assed to post my achievements...i only post 99's
By Valdremia on 30/06/2008
Completely agree with Tnuac. I think completion of this season's CWPL will take up several weeks in total, its a whole year thing? One league takes up 7 weeks. Then move into the next league to fight for another 7 weeks/clans/season.
Current agility events are good but just because its a large contributor to wars, it shouldn't be a main focus. It's fair to train for the wars but skills are coming to a standstill. Even trips these days are about killing something, not making something and having relaxing fun. I know I'm not really active in-game but TBH any breaks I took for e.g. doing all other variety of skills are so fun, it makes the game a least more enjoyable. Skills had a breath of life in the last revamp, its dying a slow death.
Rankings can be important but it will take you to road of completely warring emphasis and if there isn't enough done for skilling to balance in-progress, agreed that a newly elected leader needs to take care of this sector if no one has time.
CWPL as consistent priority is going to kill skilling.
P.S. Skilling has always been around even though it was trying ever so hard...almost dying till it managed to take some form in last year's revamp, to offer balance options and fun for everyone including for joining skill potentials...if it wilts too long/much it'll die.

i think everyone is just training for pro silentium
im a huge skiller, proud of my under 35% cmb xp to overall for ages, but now is the time we should train, so im stopping skills for awhile
as soon as pro silentium is done, i think alot of people should go back to skilling
By Sithofwookie on 04/07/2008
personally i like skilling better than wars
By Tmal34 on 04/07/2008
CWPL is changing to be a bit less time consuming and more entertaining, so it will be less in the future.
I don't like skilling much, especially events because they are boring, but i think our event leaders should step it up sometimes I guess.
By Zlatan83 on 04/07/2008
We still have plenty of skill events, it's just that how many of them have YOU actually attended?
