Guild participation

What we need is an incentive / punishment system for TW / TB.

An incentive could be similar like GA where you can earn credits for each battle won.

A good punishment system would be not giving the TW / TB rewards to anyone who contribute less than X amount of banners. Really hate people who just join just to get the free zeta(s) with ZERO effort and expect everyone else to do the grunt work.

Boot them. We're a guild that's just started doing hsith so we need effort from everyone to get through it. We almost didn't make it today. Guess what happened to the guy who contributed nothing to the tw and nothing in the raid.

You don't really need a system that withholds rewards. Just make the expections clear and act if needed

We do boot, frequently. Problem with that is we boot people and aren't getting replacements. We were 36/50 for a few weeks. It hurt us to the point we missed a TW because of lack of participation.

Do you do hsith? (Sorry if you said earlier, I've forgotten). Prior to that we had no one coming in too. Once we started doing it we saw tons of interest. I had to pull in two old guild members from another guild but I knew I had to get us into a position where we were a hsith guild to attract players. It might be worth considering bringing bin a couple of mercs to get it done a few times

I think it would boost those modes also, but until/unless the devs do something like this, you've got your own problem to solve. We knew we had some good guildies who HATED TW, and they'd sooner leave than participate. We didn't want to force the issue.

So we instituted a "You join, you contribute" rule. If a guildie joins the TW and his GP is added to our total to result in a slightly tougher opponent guild, the guildie MUST provide some meaningful combination of defenses and attacks.

After a couple of TWs with the rule in place, we kicked our first repeated-violator. Did the trick; after that, anybody who joined knew they had to step up.

Trust me when I say that you should move to a HSTR guild. I waited too long to leave my original guild hoping people would work on the the proper teams. We would only score in the low 30*'s in TB and would usually get killed in the last few hours of TW due to lack of participation. Our guild leader was MIA most of the time. I had to implement rules about non-participation and had to be the one to drop the hammer on people. It was tedious. As soon as I joined my current guild, I had my first Traya shards within two days. We just got 45* on the LS TB and are hitting 47* on DS TB. TW is always a toss up due to being in a high GP guild, but we are now generally clearing the board. We did this last time but lost by 50 points or so, but overall, it is a better record than my old guild and I am in the top reward bracket.

Unfortunately, trying to hold to your old guild will just hold you back. I'm about 7 raids away from finishing Traya finally. The HSTR gear alone has helped me immensely. Even without DR and DM, I can still hit top 50 in my arena, which is on a near launch day shard, and this is as a ftp. I manged to get 6* Padme the first time though, which most likely would not have happened if I were still in my old guild. I should also be set for DR and DM when they return assuming it is at the end of June. That also probably would not have been possible without switching guilds.
