Some suggestions!
1. We all know that in order to woe, we need to have the best equips possible. Thats why the prize now is not that good (the gold helm I believe?)
-So my solution here is to have different woe prizes (like obtainable through woe only items - with or without effect, And/or some items like the BR prize which gives 25 all stats, since mid gears give 20 all stats.
MAKE THEM UNTRADEABLE. make them work for it.
2. Woe should be split into 2. Major and minor castle. in majors, you are allowed to use donates but in minor donates are automatically unequipped.
-This will make newbies have a chance in winning.
3. There should be another winner for the guild that hold the emp the longest.
-no afk'ing allowed >=)
And to prevent them for getting it in 1 woe, we should have a point system.
example the item is 5000 points, 1 kill is point and if they win major they get 50 points and when they get minor they will get 30 points. That way, they will always join woe.
Edit:only all those who are present and not the whole guild are awarded with points.
I know you can do this guys. You are very hard working ^.~
Thats all. Positive criticism will be accepted ^^
