Here is an idea gree, if you now double the syndicate size to 120 players per syndicate or even 100 then RB may be achievable!
Also sas will probably link up with sas2 then taw will have to recruit or spend more money to keep top spot!
Its a win for gree and a win for players, maybe not for taw but all the other 1000's out there!
Thoughts?

I never understood why syns topped out at 60 to begin with. I can only imagine the reason they did that was to prevent super teams, but one team controls everything now anyway. So, I'm all for allowing 100+ members per syn.

They cap the size at 60 because they can't have too many of the biggest spenders on one team. They need those spenders to compete with each other to drive up the spending.

They also can't be giving "top" prizes to more than the number of people who receive them now. Stat inflation is bad enough.

easy fix for that would be to remodel the prizes, instead of top 10 getting x only top 5 get it!

A syndicate expanded to 120 members, as you suggested, would place 600 individuals in the top 5. If the top spenders from the top ten syndicates all joined forces most of the real competition would probably happen between the top 2, maybe top 3 syndicates. Meaning you could probably look forward to the top 5 prize coming with stats worse than an item from the store, and no modifier.

Pointless.

Not a fan of increasing syndicate size. This will give the developers justification in raising raid boss health to more ungodly levels or making the sltq events impossible. As anyone who pays attention should know the developer will only do things to shake money from our pockets.

Imagine managing a 120 player syndicate. It would be like corporate gaming.

It would actually make more sense to reduce the size to 20 players thereby promoting more competition in the top ranks. The current top 5 would be essentially split into 15 syndicates fighting for 5 places with the RB health etc reduced accordingly.

Radical as it sounds, they could also just have tiered raid bosses where the health is decided by your average strength in the syndicate.

Why do stupid ideas like this keep coming up? If I were slightly less lazy, I'd dig through your post history and see what you had to say about the rivals list change...

In my opinion, we're all just one great big syndicate of brothers and sisters. You know?

Labeling others just because of current syndicate affiliation is a slippery slope.

I agree sine the RB health has gone up so much, a compensation of maybe syndicates being able to hold another 20-30 players wouldn't be a bad idea.

Time for more syndicate upgrades?

Might as well.

I bet the next 5 levels of syndicate upgrades will cost in the quadrillions, or very close to a quadrillion.

I got the over on 750 Trillion total cost to completely upgrade your syndicate.

Anyone want to take that action?

Quadrillion? Don't think anyone could ever come up with that much cash lol.

This is a terrible idea. Raise it by one or two, not 30

Well, that would be dumb, and defeat the purpose of raising the RB health.

That in my opinion is pointless, at least 10 for you to notice any difference!

RB heath was raised by 150%, raising a syndicate by 50% (30 players) Doesn't quite defeat the purpose of the RB health increase!
I would have welcomed a challenge if RB lvl100 was 10-11 Billion but 20 Billion?? What is the purpose?

+20 syndicate size with the last upgrade right? From 40 to 60?

Then the next upgrade should be +20, from 60 to 80.

I'll put the over on 500 Trillion for the next 5 level upgrade, down from 750 Trillion.

The line has changed.

Takers?

Why do you think it would be so cheap?

I agree but gree would never do it , the top 500 players would quit .
