I still see no problem with the guilds in terms of tower taking. It's not like every guild is in an alliance with each other. Every day, each guild loses and takes towers. What do you want, full blown Democrat vs. Republican status? That would cause people to do ridiculous things like glitching, hacking, chatblocking, etc.

For example, lets say Ximtra congratulated Rebellious on getting 1k. They post "Happy 1k Rebellious!" Does this mean that Ximtra isn't going to take Rebellious' towers now? No. They're still going to be taking each others towers, regardless of what was posted on a guild news. The reason we congratulate one another is because guilds that have reached 1k, and those who are going for 1k, know how hard and time-consuming it is to get there.

On a side note, I'm willing to bet that everyone that agrees with the OP (besides Rexx) hasn't been in a serious tower guild, and bases all of their knowledge off of what they see in the guild news.
