History is the best judge.

The Exception did not apply to the primary Top Guilds -- Para Bellum, Meow, FEO, to name a few -- held their ground: members had to leave those guilds in order to participate.

Leadership.. this was actually the best organized Boycott in the history of RoD and there is now a (little used) Forum for guild leaders, among other things. Other Boycotts folded in the first day. This one held out for the entire event and won.

This was the most successful Boycott in the history of RoD and resulted in:

1. more potions as rewards for events, especially Tournament of Dragons (ToD) which effectively supplies players in even mid-level guilds with free 10-20 tradeable power potions a week

2. "free player" events like the newly designed GvG that require NO power potions and even limit the use of cash-Elixers (you can only use a Flame Elixir once per battle). Top Guilds win on the new style of GvG not with cash (well, they have powerful decks) but member participation in every Battle of every Cycle.

3. tradeable cards.. Drecom needs another round of releasing previously untradeable cards but they released most of the old untradeable MR cards and that created a happy bonanza for newer players to take advantage of rewards from events they never participated in

Looking back, this Boycott changed the game and how players coordinate and communicate with Drecom. If you don't know anything about that, you're just out of the loop. Don't speak out of ignorance.
