Suggestion & Criticism - Coop Championship must be changed
Pepper Moon (IN1)
Posts: 6,684
If i am not mistaken, there has been 7 coop championships so far? In each championship, the same coop has won the apple orchard each time.
Consequences...
- Players are leaving co-ops for the apple orchard. Although, few coops lost several players and never came back
The other coops must get a chance to win the apple orchards, cos the same coop has 7 apple orchards. No offense to the winning coop!
Suggestion :
- If we consider low levels coop, its too much difficult for them to complete all 50 prizes. There should be a rps satisfaction depending on coop levels as we have in silo event. The current one is unfair for 'em.
- My suggestion is to apple orchard for top 3 coops, atleast. This will keep all interested longer.
There are several coops working whole day and night to win those apple orchards and it would be nice if others could gain one too! Atleast top 3 coops. Our enthusiasm has been less each time the CC appears and is now at zero level.
On that note here is my suggestion...
Top 3 Coops - Apple Orchard
Top 10 coops - Chery Orchard
Could we maybe have a change in the top three prizes? Just a thought.. Opinions? You're more than welcome to comment.

indeed you are right....the Co-Op championship should be RELATIVE like with the No Pain No Gain Event
I would suggest that the Co-Op should be divided as per the Co-Op Level into groups and then the competition be there.
the suggestion for Top 3 = Apple Orchard & Top 10 = Cherry is Brilliant.
Also the PRIZES should be changed now....atleast for the higher RP zone ie from 40 to 49......50 is Trophy ofcourse..;-)
Brilliant Suggestions.....
Now that they are often less than 3 weeks apart it is just insanity. Please, GGS, spread them out a bit again.
Coops are getting the same rewards over & over again and I think some different kinds of rewards would go a long way.
I suggest following rewards for top ranks in CC :
1. Decoration parts (large quantity considering coops have come in top ranks)
2. 200 Gold reward for each player in top 3 coops in CC
Co-operative championship :
While there is an actual fact that only 1 particular coop is coming on top-most rank every time & getting the precious apple orchard, there is no denying that its members must be spending a lot of their time, dollars and maybe gold to come on top. Every game is like that. Nobody can do anything about it.
What I would like to suggest is, & I agree with Prince Manish here, that GGS should keep the top-most reward for top 3 coops instead of only 1, so some amount of fairness would be shown and coops will try harder henceforth.
Also, a change in rewards in CC and events would be exciting.
Thank you all for reading this.
Wildcat.
I have about 5 cherry orchards not in use and the current CC is getting kinda monotonous. A change will be simply g8
Top most reward should be given to top 3 coops.
Apple Orchard should be given to the top 3 coops instead of the first one only. It will help us keep our spirits high which unfortunately we are losing with each upcoming CC. Also, at least top 15 coops should get cherry orchard.
i agree because this is totally correct.
Also if they can come-up with or we can suggest some different activities for the CC event would be great. Everytime the same thing gets kinda monotonous...just a suggestion though
1. Please think of rewarding the top 3 rank co-ops with apple orchards. (suggested by PrinceManish)
2. Change prizes 41 to 50 to something exciting & rewarding. (suggested by Dreamscape)
3. Bring back earlier gap of 6 weeks between CCs. (suggested by DuffyPoo)
4. Also design a different CC which you can alternate with the existing one..keep us guessing. (my own)
Instead I think the ranking system should be based on an average of the RP earned by each member in the coop - so the coop position is calculated as the total RP earned by the coop divided by the maximum number of members allowed in the coop.
So a top coop with 60 odd members with 10 active gold users could still be beaten by a lower coop with 25 members who are all active.
This makes the CC much more competitive, it is an incentive for all coops to be active in the competition because every coop has a chance of winning the top prize no matter how big or small the coop is, and it will provide more participants in missions so there will be fewer solo missions. More chance for every coop to win also means more gold sales.
I do not know of any competitions where one team is allowed 60 players against another team with only 25 players - it's hardly a fair competition at all.
+1 and 100% agree.

Personally I think ranking reward should be completely scrapped and rewards based simply on the amount of reputation points the coop has earned during the given time. The coop apple and cherry should be included in the rewards list just under the trophy of solidarity decoration.
I guess what I am saying is be grateful for what you get, not everyone can come first and the coop with the most money will undoubtedly come top. You only have to look at the English Football League to know what I mean. There are about 5 teams that alternate coming top of the League, and these are the teams who can afford to buy the best players. The rest of the League is made up of also-rans. Having said that, I do agree that the challenge should be divided into smaller 'leagues' so the smaller coops will have a chance of finishing top of THEIR league.
I just want to add how proud I was during the last coop challenge. We are a very new, very small coop and there was only 2 of us taking part in the challenge. We did, however, manage to finish in 78th position on our server - and that was without the use of any gold and no boosters. We knew from the beginning that we had no chance of finishing anywhere near the top of the ranking table but we played to the best of our ability. We were pleased to have finished in the top 100 and we got lots of rewards along the way. So thank you Carol for all your hard work, who knows next time we could win a cherry orchard
I absolutely understand the frustration of losing good players to a higher ranked/more competitive co-op, but I personally am not that competitive. If a player is so geared towards 'winning' that they sacrifice co-op loyalty... I kinda don't want them.

A very Brilliant Suggestion.....
This will make sure that the "Friendly Co-Op" is intact and healthy to go ahead in the game.
Co-Op Apple Orchard should be kept in the prizes area which we achieve through earning RPs
2.Coop may be grouped into 3-5 groups according to level as did in events
3. Ranked according to RP per member
4.there should be a gap of min 45 days between each coop challenge
5.Missions to be modified, current missions only for half an hour, there should be missions with 30 min,4hrs and 8 hrs with different items like wheat, cabbage, pigs etc
6. more prizes to be be given to players and coop with lower ranks other than first 3 (3-10, 11-20, 21-50 etc)
But there has to be changed 1 thing first before all.
That is No more Solomissions.
How about that idea. I prefer to wait 10 minutes and have a mission that take 45 minutes rather then waiting up till 10 minutes and ending again with a solo mission.
It seems that the top 5 COOPS always have opponents in their missions.
Or is my thinking now to simple.
That is the biggest change to be made first.
And why not like in golf or bowling use a handicap.
On that way the smaller or lower level farmers have also the fun and honor to beat a level 100 or higher player
or is that unfair according to the high level players. BTW i have level 118 but i never forget i once had a small farm long time ago

That's what bothers me most from the Coop Championship: you can't leave it be, you are forced to play it because you don't want to let your coop members down.
However: I am not that competitive and would much rather leave the CC be and skip it, because it's totally predictable which coop is going to win (the biggest one) and which coop member is going to win (the one who can play 24/7), over and over again. This takes out every challenge and attraction whatsoever. And since the "in between" rewards are all the same, over and over again - there is no appeal to gaining those anymore either. But I play the CC, very much against my will, because I don't want to let my coop members down.... *sigh*
We have a great coop and never lost any players to bigger coops .... but I've never heard of competitions where a team of 65 players compete against another team of 25 players [as Hodor stated before], this can hardly be called fair.
that's the best best suggestion!
also, the rewards 10, 20, 30 and 40 should be some worthy premium items for which smaller coops could aim.
Jiesta, I very much respect your posts and opinions, but I just see this completely differently.
Co-op A has spent Co-op, and quite probably personal, gold, as well as great personal effort (to recruit well, etc) and expanded to the maximum allowable membership (65), and Co-op B has chosen/opted/been unable/whatever the reason, not to go to 65 members, but 25. And you think GGS should even the playing field for Co-op B? In my opinion THAT would be unfair.
As it is, Co-op B has the same playing field as Co-op A. That IS fair.
Do players have the same $ to play an online game? Of course not. But neither do they have the same Intelligence, or free time. Each Co-op has the same chance to be #1 at the start, but only one can actually claim the prize at a time. Unless that co-op is cheating (Multi accounts, etc), I don't see how one co-op dominating can be legitimately called unfair. Un-fun? Yes... Absolutely. I can clearly see how it might be un-fun. But Unfair? No.

Brilliant Idea.
It would be great if apple orchard is added to the prize list.
