"Well just stop winning and that will be change enough."
Spoken like a true competitor. I generally prefer winning to whining...
"covertly winning so many weekly XP races,"
Covert means "not openly acknowledged or displayed" We can't be that covert, or there wouldn't be as much bitching about the weekly points winning streak.
"And still, it's a public goal of your owner to win the Clash and to excel in CC XPs"
Guilty. It's a lousy format, but there are still hundreds of clubs that put up points each time. As long as the brain trust at WGT continue the clashes, and name a winner each time, we're just wacky enough to try and be the top team. We're crazy like that. And, since the club makes no secret of our goals, we tend to attract like minded players.
"To each his own, but - in all friendship - I consider your CC the frontmen of the
"We
want Golden Calves, WGT!" movement, pumping effort and credits into
this part of the game which I call futile, pointless and a total money
grab."
No argument on the futile, pointless, money grab sentiments. Our club has written WGT many times asking for a change in format and prize structure. Until then, as long as they're giving away golden calves, even though we've repeatedly asked them not to, we're silly enough to try and win the calf. And as I mentioned before, we don't seem to be the only club putting up points and trying to win. Where are your expressions of love and respect for them?
The camaraderie and good sportsmanship shown toward us in the forums is also worth the effort. (That was sarcasm. I point it out for the subtlety impaired...)
