I disagree. I mean, if the mages are power mongers, they already are regardless of any new features you add since that has more to do with the person than the game. If this is a fear, then you should look for fellowships with better leadership skills where this wouldn’t even be a thought. You also can’t expect free for all spending of Fellowship points by everyone in the group. That would be chaos. Imagine the player that shows up once a month, isn’t paying attention to game development, and then comes in and spends the entire FS’s stash of points clicking around while contributing minimally to obtaining them. How is that better than only letting mages decide for the group? Fellowships add group element to the game and these new perks adds new dimensions to group play. People who are already playing like solo artists prob don’t care what chests are unlocked or how high the purple bar is in the Spire. Solo artists can’t obtain those goals without a team anyway. I think we will see servers with more than the 10 or 15 average FS making Gold Spire now. That is exciting.I think the whole idea is just plain dumb , and I will tell you why for example it's confusing and going to be frustrating especially to new and low level players and I guarantee you Elvenar will loose a lot of players and giving the Archmages and Mage's the control over this is insane cause I guarantee you a lot of Archmages and Mage's will get power hungry I promise you it's gonna come back to bite Elvenar in the Butt I for one am totally against it cause all it's going to do is cause major problems for everyone Now that I have seen this I will never join a fellowship
If you don’t join a fellowship, you disadvantage yourself in so many ways. Trading is critical and a fellowship extends your free trade network by up to 24 people. You will never obtain blueprints, not just because you can’t get 10 chests on your own, but you won’t even have access to tourney. Tourneys are best source of KP and relics, both of which you need in abundance for event quests. Lastly, Spire is the best source of free diamonds so long as your group can push that purple bar far enough. No fellowship and the highest your purple bar goes is 63 points. Threatening NOT to join a FS is only shooting yourself in the foot.
