Just don't show the number of banners the other player has until the offense period has closed. Nobody has an advantage or disadvantage. Problem solved.
And if CG applied the same mechanic of hiding scores until attack period ended on Territory Wars?
Would that make people content, or would there be a problem with that?
@FolsomTony Personally I wouldn't care either way. You've somehow managed to conjoin a false equivalency with classic what-about-ism in just two quick sentences!
I'll concede that GAC and TW are both PvP content, but past that, the perceived advantage being discussed in this thread pales in comparison in TW to just getting your guild coordinated and engaged. If you have a guild that can actually take advantage of second mover advantage effectively, you're probably not all that concerned about it.
And personally, I'm fine with showing banners, but to the OPs point, it's not fair to certain geographic regions that they almost always have to go first. Advantage or not, it's perceived as one, and these players shouldn't always be at a perceived disadvantage. Hiding banners is a way to keep the schedule as is.
If you'd rather rotate start times, that's fine too. I would follow @Indominable_J 's advice and push each GA back six hours, providing for a 30 hour join period and adding 18 hours onto the total event timeline. Easy peasy, no stress.
