Sandbagging Guilds Ruining TW

My guild has done fairly well in TW as of late, but as we pushed into the 50million GP zone, we have gotten non stop guilds who sandbag their GP by only queing their best members. So while we que a full 46-50 every time, they are queing 35-40 of their top players. This gives them a lower GP but much better overall members and they get to face lower guilds. This is kind of ridiculous and would be nice if CG was able to implement some sort of a fix. Maybe number of participating players needs to be at or near equal because we are putting a lot of work into TW but get mauled by these sandbagging guilds.
  • I’m not saying that this ‘sandbagging’ as you’ve termed it doesn’t happen, but from my own experience not everyone in our guild wants to take part in TW and as it’s not mandatory we tend to have around 30-35 people taking part.

    In addition by the time the second one comes around we generally drop to around 27 participants.

    Perhaps the issue isn’t Sandbagging but that a lot of people find it a chore or just don’t enjoy the PvP aspect.

    Not the end of the world. I’m in a ~100M GP guild and our last two TWs have been against guilds 19M and 21M GP higher. We lost the first by 200 banners and stomped the second. This current TW is another 21M in opponents favor and we’ll go tooth and nail again :)


    To be honest, last TW we done we set our best teams on defence and then just let them have ago at us. Didn’t want to give them the satisfaction of seeing how their teams performed on defence. We didn’t even attack once.... just say back and collected rewards for second place, what else is there to do?

    I hope CG are looking at participation, as if more guilds are doing what we are them they will see it fall dramatically. They might do something about it if that happens.

    As I said, I have no idea why the big guilds are doing this, why don’t they want to have a fair fight? Which reminds me, I need to eat that left over chicken madras from last night.... yummy
