The 1k limit was introductory, when the Brawls were a new thing, to get us engaged. Mission accomplished (apparently, the players are quite active in Brawls), so we're now at 2k requirement as it is in other games that have had Brawls since before we go them.

This new "cotrol" is neither required nor helpful. I bet no BH leader will ever use it.

This response has so much wrong with it ..... I'm speechless 

It'll be 2k by default.

1k limit?

Yup. Noticed and asked already, but I don't expect a response before Tue (a holiday in Ukraine).

I'm all for that. Actually, I'd prefer if leaders could set it to zero points or to just one point. Help out their members if they want to. I made that suggestion, but I don't think it'll be accepted.

curious to know how many players asked for this change. i know it's never been a topic of discussion in the brotherhoods i've been a part of. seems to me that by increasing minimums makes it more difficult and discouraging for new players to compete. 

Honestly, I don't know, nor do I have a way to find out. I would guess that some did request it because implementing it is a waste of time if everyone leaves the lowest setting (ignore the 1k->2k change if it happens; normally, Plarium would've done it without even telling us, as they did with other tournaments, i.e., adding this setting is not needed as an "excuse" to raise the limit).

The "benefit", I imagine, is that the leaders of more active BHs can deny freebies to those members that barely participate, who they might see as "freeloaders". My BH has a requirement for minimal participation, but it's fairly soft ("everyone should get xx points", but without any consequences for not reaching that). The leader hasn't changed the minimal requirement, but - in case he decides to be more harsh - he might.

If a BH wins a million or several million points, then "discouraging" those who don't achieve, say, 5k is not a big loss for the BH, especially if it gets majority to try a bit harder to do better (say, to get 5k instead of 2k).

This is all just my speculation. I have no data to back it up and I could be wrong, of course.

I just heard from Plarium: 2k starts from the next Brawl. I guess they gave us a bit of time to prepare for the change, which is nice.

Apologies for the confusion.
