I'd like to clarify some things.
Yes in a sense this IS a nerf, but for us as a clan it isn't for two reasons.
1) All warbands reset across all the worlds at the same time. This means that those Warband hogging fc's can't control every world. The owners of those chats were making serious bank with all the VIP memberships... people were getting backstabbed constantly... Some days warbands is just horrible for all of us. But with all the worlds resetting at the same time, it means that the only competition on our home world will be little to none, unless someone starts up some fc, or some other clan decides to set up here.
2) Warbands can now become a clan activity for us, from level 4-200 we can all participate and protect each other, while having fun and making sure that we control our world. There isn't a bunch of people in batwing robes or royal dragonhide running around to kill us anymore.
Warbands IS nerfed, but for us, it shouldn't be. If anything it's better. Clans who aren't as well built as us, or just regular players who aren't even in a clan can get the experience that we can from warbands.
