With all due respect, IronLady, while what you say may be true for other regions, the fact of the matter is that the ArcheAge scene is at its most competitive in the North American region and our guilds and even individual leaders have vast experience handling the end-game content this game has to offer.
We understand that, by upgrading the value of DGS kills, you wanted to reward the guilds playing on the Russian server, but we guarantee you that it is the opposite for us; the people talking to you here, arguing in favor of a drastic reduction in gold per DGS kill are doing so because we are the ones who are the most likely to benefit from DGS kills and we can tell you, with certainty, that we do not need that extra gold to get ahead, as it further widens the gap between the top guilds and the rest of the server.
We, humbly, ask that you reconsider your position on this matter. We can tell you, from experience, that keeping DGS the way they are (or having them pay more) is not the way to go, as it'll increase the gear gap between the top guild(s) and the others.
