Well at least it's not exploiting some purposely broken reward list.

IDK - the long-term decay and guild size penalties doesn’t seem to make alt farming worthwhile.  Hell, it doesn’t seem to make inviting new members to a guild worthwhile.

I'm no renown expert, but it seems like it might be worth it. 50K just for getting one alt to 8,  65K with a 30% pot, and that's on top of whatever the alt is pulling out of chests and whatever the rest of the group is pulling. And you get stacking +10% xp to do it with.

A group of nothing but 6 alts is 390K hitting 8, probably in the neighborhood of 450K+ with chests/end rewards. Hitting 8 with first life alts is only a few hours of playtime.

Sure you're up on decay and down on bonus for the next month or whatever, but still might be worth it.

Opened a ticket about the spam bullshit:
Every time someone logs on, the game spawns a message stating "(Guild): The Build Your Guild event is currently active! Be sure to help new and returning players level up and earn extra renown for your guild! See DDO.com for details on this event." This is ridiculous. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. someone logs on. Fix this please.

This was their response:
+Krymux+ - To send feedback regarding the game or submit ideas that you would like to see implemented in the future, please visit http://www.turbine.com/support and click on the flag appropriate to the language you would like to provide feedback in. Then click the “Support Center” tab, followed by “Submit Feedback”. Although you may not receive a response due to the large volume of feedback we receive, all feedback is read and taken into consideration by the appropriate teams.

I would rather punch a dev in kidney.  Just give a flat 20% increase to everything and call it a day.  People would be far more excited.

I did all my farming last week, there's nothing I need  : (

I suppose I could run some challenges on the TR.

Not really. I have ~100 in the bank and I'm nowhere near needing to slot epic augments for a final build. Farming epic tokens would be at the very bottom of a very long list.

Except that the 30% boost is based on the original challenge reward % so in some cases you're actually getting less than you would normally.

TRing during the event counts that toon as returning, by the way. Roughly 600k renown from capping a TR using renown pots (for 6 person guild...200k for a large guild).

now that I would consider. With our 6 member guild, the large bounties should be pretty nice. 300% renown should put a decent size dent in our levels

Yeah, just have everyone TR or LR. From all reports on the main forums the large bounties are happening for TR/LR but not for newly returning accounts Grin

Also, Norg made a funny? How unusual. http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=369728

LR even? God dammit, I just did that 2 seconds before this fucking event

edit: Did not receive any large bounties sadly, but did get smalls on 12 16 and 20, so that was a quick 45k.

Tried it after the event started and no, not on LR, just the smalls.

What's different yesterday from Saturday is:

Getting the xp bonus whether or not guildie in same instance (looked like it wasn't that way Friday night)
Getting the xp bonus grouped with anyone.
Getting the xp bonus with a hireling.
