K, so list of nerfs to that tower so far:

Flag lowered from 150 to 100
Several holes removed from second floor room
The holes are now not permanently open, but instead open and close on some timer
You cannot block the first floor doors

It's cool, I'm all for balancing towers to make them competitive. However, why is there a tower where this is true:

Flag has 100 HP
You spawn 3 tiles away from the flag
There is 1 path through the ENTIRE tower
The ENTIRE FIRST LEVEL IS A CHOKE POINT
You can make use of sub tags here better than ANY other tower
There are spikes that defend the second level for you
One person can stand in a doorway that is 2 tiles away from the respawn point and block 5-10 people from entering and threatening the flag

I don't want to tower at Sardon's because it is so braindead easy. However, assuming I have the best guild, why wouldn't I? When you continue to nerf towers that actually are fun and completely ignore broken ones, what other choice does a guild have? It is free hours. I'd know, I led 4 guilds there that hit the 1k mark all in under a month.

Is it being nerfed based on one guild's performance there so far? If so, can admins please come with us to Sardon's so I can show you how that tower can be defended 5 vs. 30?

TL;DR: Why are we nerfing a fun, unique new tower when Sardon's is completely broken, boring, and untouched?
