Here is what I see:
1st suggestion - 2 teams go in, attacker cannot beat all 5 toons, but also will not be defeated in 5 mins.

This would end with both the attacking and defensive team being removed and I guess no points awarded.
- I lose a chance for points but get the advantage of not having to actually beat the team to get past them. If this was done and my guild completes the zone we get points for clearing the zone, even though we didnt.

2nd suggestion - 2 teams go in, attacker cannot beat all 5 toons, but also will not be defeated in 5 mins.

This would end with both teams being restored, as if the battle never happened, no points awarded.
- I couldn't win, but lose nothing. I get the advantage of basically playing with a team until I win for full points. The defense gets nothing for not letting me win, which is also an advantage for me. At any point in a match if I'm not going to win. I just let it time out to a draw and attack again, this is an advantage because i get to play only the match with the best RNG for me.

3rd suggestion - 2 teams go in, attacker cannot beat all 5 toons, but also will not be defeated in 5 mins
This would lead to an endless timer

- You cant win within the time allotted for the game mode, so you get the advantage of extra time. The defense now loses the advantage of "getting points" that you couldn't beat, because you would lose points in this scenario in the current scheme.

Any of the changes you are suggesting, dont fix a problem as much as they give even more advantage to the offensive guild. In all likelihood ending in more TW ties, due to less of the little point differences per match.

Part of the issue with any changes to the "draw mechanism" is that any player can force this to happen. This basically gives them an "out" to take should the match not go the way they want. This negates part of the points system which is what I keep referring to as a benefit.

About 1st and 2nd suggestions we now have figured out that they are worse than 3rd. But what about the 1st offer I wrote about this initially, but the 2nd proposal is worse only because it would be possible to play till the best times. And I also wrote about it in one of my answers. This will be the only way, because no points after recovery, no one will get - it is also easy to understand, and it should be taken into account by the developers. 3-its proposal will not lead to an endless timer-the timer will be replenished only 1 time. Well, it is quite easy to understand - you create the impression of an infantile-thinking person. Although I respect you as a moderator, but do not need to interfere in every post with ill-conceived claims.

if you only extend it by 1 min, how does it not end in a draw, as you said, you added the time so it would end in a win or a lose....but it could still end in a tie.

Firstly, i will say, you have not said anything that changes what i have stated, so it is not likely that what I am saying is the ill-conceived part of this post. what you are looking for is an advantage against teams you cannot beat. There is a reason the timer is there, its to make it a challenge to beat them, there is a reason that once you use a team no matter the outcome, you dont get access to them any more, again to make this game mode a challenge.

As a player you should take into account the rules of engagement for the game mode and do your best to understand them and the background for why they are there.

On a final note: As a moderator I am asking that you be more mindful about how you speak to other forum goers. You seem to want to try and insult people that do not agree with you, this is not a good way to respond to posts. This may also land you in trouble as time goes on. Please refrain from making any personal comments about anyone on the forum.
