They did this so people can't guild hop for bayer rewards by the way, not because of the noobs. This way New God of War, Bad Boys, Merchants, etc. Can't own lvl 1's, 2's, and capital at the same time like in the past. Even though their all the same guild and can guild hop for the rewards b4 the patch. And noobs can always do guild collections, you get more contribution that way anyway, depending on what side of the alliance your on if all you do is fight you won't get a lot of contribution.
Back when Yakuza had 9 active fighters I'd get up to 800 contribution a night fighting, but now that I'm in Warriors try 100. So fighting is definately not the best thing to do it just helps.
