On the Splinter server of Dune: Awakening, a Harkonnen guild with a name closely resembling a major Atreides guild has been repeatedly winning the Lansgrad faction event. Players on the r/DuneAwakening subreddit report this group often selects suboptimal rewards like melee damage or XP boosts during event votes, which some interpret as intentional griefing to weaken their own faction’s advantage. Despite a low Harkonnen population, this guild’s actions have a disproportionate impact, raising questions about faction balance and fair competition in this endgame activity. Solo players still rank highly, but the guild’s strategy has unsettled community expectations.
