I was just thinking, as i challenged the previous shadow lair... it was not THAT hard... so i have been thinking, why not make a fourth tier, that is just pure challenge? It would be targeted towards the full five stars who want a challenge themselves. I have played PvP, and i see many people with extraordinary skill. What if there were levels that are a nice challenge, even for them? there needs to be some sort of benefit to exploring the clockworks... people are not going to go just because of compounds. I have noticed, as an old player who's been around before the missions, that NO ONE participates in the arcade anymore. I myself don't go through the arcade because it is a lot more profitable to do VANA and JK runs. This ties in with the guildhalls too, because i think that rest stops should sell unique furniture. A lot more people would venture into the clockworks in hope of finding a nice piece of furniture, the better furniture being closer to the core. In fact, i am getting really bothered by the lack of furniture variety. I own a small guild, and cannot afford a large upkeep required to obtain some good rooms/furniture, so i am stuck with the blue and white chairs, and the (ugly) red and blue ones. The events require purchase or (expensive) player sold furniture. I know guilds are expensive to have, but it does get to a point of overwhelming expenses. Please consider the small guilds.
