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? --------------------  | ||||

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 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. --------------------  | ||||

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? -------------------- | ||||

 IRC Nickname: Angus0000 Group: Emeritus Posts: 705 Member No.: 572 Joined: May 3, 2008 Total Events Attended: 128 | 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. --------------------  | ||||

 IRC Nickname: Tnuac Group: Emeritus Posts: 1806 Member No.: 51 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 58 | 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. -------------------- ~Aetas: carpe diem quam minimum credula postero~ "Seize the day and place no trust in tomorrow"  | ||||

| IRC Nickname: Group: Guests Posts: Member No.: 0 Joined: January 1, 1970 Total Events Attended: 1 | 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. ~Ali -------------------- | ||||

 IRC Nickname: Valdremia Group: Ex-Member Posts: 289 Member No.: 64 Joined: December 31, 2007 Total Events Attended: 9 | 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 will listen to you, especially when we disagree." - Barack Obama  | ||||

| IRC Nickname: Group: Guests Posts: Member No.: 0 Joined: January 1, 1970 Total Events Attended: 1 | 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. -------------------- | ||||
