That makes sense if you consider the varying timezones and play times of the community. It's completely unreasonable to expect any guild to be able to mount a 24X7 defense of actual players.
Based on Raynes' feedback and the video that was posted, it looks as if defending an outpost is primarily a matter of buying the right type of guards and strategically placing and configuring them.
sounds utterly boring then if i wanted an online strategy game id have bought one no i doubt very much that the guards will be the best defence especially since they were getting there asses kicked in the E3 vid i saw and the guy showing them was doing the killing >.<
