Please don't forget that the BGs were not designed as the main source of Units.There is a huge problem with BG's IF you don't play with credit cards...
I tried something in the recent BG championship (sending whole Off / Def to over-run and cut losses):
Started with 1.1m Off and 1m Def. After doing about 60 BG's, of which the highest level was lv 33 BG, this is the outcome:
1.4m Off and 500k Def - Infirmary: 4.1m Off and 2.5m Def (Cost 343562 Sapphires to revive)
How can BG's be rewarding if the losses are absolutely stupendous? AND, how can events be rewarding if Sapphire rewards are so low?
Being a level 60 player placed in the rankings with players 80-90 is simply stupid, there is no chance of ever being no:1 when competing with such high level players doing BG 100's, and then the sapphire rewards for still being in top 100 is ridiculous, being rewarded 550 sapphires to revive a cost of over 340k sapphires....
I LOVE this game, but being forced to spend money makes it just as bad as Evony and all other money hungry MMO's
They aren't a source of units at all. You and I know there is a tax applied. They are a unit drain.
Why any developer would make 1/3rd of their total game's content completely pointless is beyond me (fyi content = raid + BG's + PvP)? Crazy decision making.
When Im thinking about raiding in mmo's I start think about fun time and chance of epic loot. In this game you can end up spend X cash on units, spend the units and get a fraction back of the invested units. You can just as well put on a t-shirt saying "I'm with stupid". We the players doesn't get rewarded from spending cash, we don't get rewarded from spending time or effort either. Regardless how much the "you can get free sapphires" mantra is chanted :(

Maybe not the main source of units ABLE TO BUILT yes, but the goal is to be rewarded with what a player can't build. But looking at the amount of losses, it is crystal clear that major payouts AND super-tax has been paid as required, but still the rewards is horrendous...
And the last response was just a confirmation that main troop source is from players wallets???
You should check out Steam, there is alot of multiplayer games in fantasy setting that cost far less to play and have fun with. Or just resign to the fact that as not being a big coiner, BG's is mostly pointless in this game.
One thing is certain with Stormfall.;
- Rewards is less than actual cost of achieve them. And the cost is your cash spent and not necessary your time and effort. :/

I'd like to just get all battlegrounds one level below my rune one. My rune bg is at 89 so that would mean I get all level 88s :)Feeding the resource bank is only efficient if you avoid all low level battlegrounds and weaken your highest levels before killing your highest non-rune bg...
... so why do they immediately replace high level bg with useless low levels? Nobody wants low levels.
We need a system where high level bg are never replaced with very low levels.
I would suggest that all new battlegrounds be at least 50% of the level of our rune bg
If your highest rune battleground is level 64, then all new battlegrounds should be level 32-63. You should never get any new battlegrounds below level 32
