Guild hopping is now officially associated with known exploits: will exploiters be punished?

All the others are appropriate to the level of progression required. Why should someone who just started the game with 1 7 star toon be getting the same rewards as someone who has multiple squads and been playing months? The point of the different tiers is so that all levels of progression and guild composition can raid and get rewards for doing so. The stronger you are the better the rewards. Makes sense to me that to win you have to put in the work first or be part of a strong guild.
