“TW is not mandatory in my guild but we are not sandbagging” hahah.. yes, you with a guild where only 40 players join TWs, are sandbagging. Call it what you want.

Sandbagging is intentional. A guild with low signups because they don't make TW compulsory is just.... a guild with low signups.

I am going to have to guess that people don't care if they sign up because they get favorable matchups out of it, intentional or not. I'd also venture a guess that if the system was different and you were stuck in a bracket and had to play another 530M guild as opposed to a 430M guild, all of a sudden TW participation would become mandatory.

Your guess would be wrong. It never has been mandatory in my guild and never will be so long as I'm the GL. We encourage participation, but don't punish those that choose not to. We encourage TW omis, but require none. We ask that people play IF they sign up - joining and doing nothing is the only way you can get in trouble in my guild with regard to TW. But no one is ever told that they have to sign up, or told that they're not allowed to.

This is about providing a welcoming and comfortable guild environment to our players and has nothing to do with chasing a W/L record. If that were the case I think our current win% would be higher than 47%. It's also been much worse than that in the past and we were still fine with it. Obviously we prefer to win but not at the cost of micro-managing and punishing people and making the atmosphere in the guild feel like boot camp. And for what? So we can say everyone joined? Is there an achievement for that? Extra rewards for having 50/50? That's the wrong goal, and the wrong priority - at least for us. To each their own - it's not our style.
