New planet Idea

We were talking about how hard it is to make Guilds in Zone now, and how the game has moved away from skill rather to random shooting and stuff, and I came up with an idea in my head about a planet.

TOPSHOT
One world that ET's control completely. It'll be very big, and doesn't require shooting constantly, but rather brains to keep control of such-and-such or do such-and-such. It will give decent money and exp, but not so much that you get Legend in a quickkkk time.
Reason ET's control all that happens is that they "add" people to THEIR OWN TEAM OR GUILD THAT THEY CAN NAME AND DO WHATEVER TO. You have to be Gold to join a team, but you can play WITH ONLY other trials (trials will have their own team, but it can't interact with the ET's Teams; it won't be in the rankings either)
The Team thing is kinda like a team of 4 people from the same ET Team have to sneak into a base and kill a bunch of guys. The reason ETs get them is like a TvT battle on some replica planet that opens only when 1 ET challenges another (and they accept, of course). Another reason ET's control the whole of it is because that way people won't say "Oh, ____ is on this Team, so let's join that one!"
Teams will have their own rates, based on how many times your team IN A WHOLE has lost/won a mission or TvT.

This is just a basic outline of how it will be like.

It will just be a game of playing who is the ET's favorite. They will just steal people from each others guilds. It would be a complete waste of time. I agree with what Az said.

No
It's ET Team vs. ET Team, like a guild, but server-only.

I think I get it now. It seems unfair. If you were picking someone for your team you wouldn't pick someone who just started playing Zone.

No it's more like a system like Zodiac, but much different in ways...

Yeah, unless their is a way to evenly yet randomly set teams, then this will not work.

It's too much work for ETs.

Why not have 1 teleporter which randomly puts players on each team evenly.. so there won't be any issues like favorites, unbalanced, etc.. (Like someone previously said.. ..I think :P)

ET's will chose people to be allow people into their group (like Zodiac's nations), but only they can start a battle with another main Team.

So basically the ET's pick their friends and good players... It would only work if it was random.
