FAQ:

- Q: How does this affect upper tier guilds and deeper defensive squad requirements?
A: Whether or not guilds are in the upper tier of matchmaking has nothing to do with their reward tier.
There is a range of upper tiers in matchmaking that spans multiple uppper reward tiers that all qualify for the deeper defensive squad requirements.
You could be in Reward Tier 2 or 3 and be in a TW that uses the deeper defensive squad requirements. It depends largely on your matchmaking calculation which is separate from reward tier.

This answer does not match the question. At all. While the answer does speak to a great concern (and frankly I think the answer stinks, but I’ll try to keep this objective), what is the answer to the faq question?
What impacts the defensive requirements and how does it impact it?
It seems you are intentionally side stepping addressing this. If you think we want to know so we can game the system, you’re completely wrong in the case of 99% of us. We want to know so we can have proper expectations and make a game plan for our guild to execute. With so much mystery this is a total nightmare for guild leadership and a complete fun sponge.
Your reluctance to speak to this with any clarity leaves us to assume that you simply have lost control of your system and can’t speak to it with any certainty. Even if that is the case, please at least say so. “We implemented the change to defense requirements and can’t predict what it will do” would be far better than the lingering feeling that you just won’t say because you think we may not like it (?)
One more question, How does this affect not-upper-tier guilds?
Because it definitely seems to be affecting guilds well under 100m gp, is this intended?
Thanks for your time
