GvG Update June 10th 2011

From wiki:

*Changed the requirements for Zaishen Strongboxes to drop in guild battles.

Yay I wonder what they are now.

We'll see how long this stops them. If bans aren't being handed out, I'm not particularly optimistic.

how has it been changed tho? and i dont see it on the official sites update notes?

Hopefully this will stop the exploits. For now.

It is not going to, I can tell you that right now.

Its too bad they didn't say how the requirements were changed.
Anyone checked?

and also drive away all those PvE'ers brought into GvG by the 6/2/11 change?

Yeah, pretty much. I thought they wanted gvg more active.

me and my guildies are calling a hoax on this one. there isnt anything on the updates page about this(seen here http://www.guildwars.com/support/gameupdates/ ) as well as the wiki being updated immediately after the update... with no time to test this... and without a source like the game updates how did they know?(it certainly wasnt 2mins after the update that the wiki was updated and not enough time to check to see if the gvg thing has changed)

People really need to stop with the mindset that the only way to get PvEer's interested into PvP is to give them loot after each battle....

if U could make more $ in PvP than PvE... then why wouldn't a PvE'er switch?

nope sorry, people getting money not honorably takes priority over the game being alive.

Someone from ANet posted the notes on the wiki.

If all those people do is tank and then sync to /resign farm boxes then what were those people doing to help anyone in the first place?

theres a difference between casual guilds and gold sellers.

Kill the Guild Lord to receive a strongbox now? I'm just guessing.

I don't think so.

If either guild is under 1000 rating, they are not handed out. This is based on a little bit of testing.

Could be wrong though.

I just won a match in 5 minutes
My guild is 1080 rating, rank 75 and we played a rank 200 guild
No strongboxes for killing lord

EDIT: We killed right before 5 minutes actually. Played another and it lasted just over 5 and we ended up getting boxes.

In the r200's, rating is above 1000. That is very odd.

And you even killed the guild lord. That debunks both of the theories, then.
