You all know everyone gets the same rewards in TB right? There's no competition in TB, every guild members gets the same. How big your guild is and participation determine rewards.

Aye, but bigger GP means higher bracket and better rewards.

So fluff that roster to get an artificially bigger GP for a higher bracket and better rewards in TB but then expect only the top end to count in GA, again to potentially get better rewards

I just don't see why people would expect CG to do this and give them the best of both worlds

The other part of this discussion that people seem to be forgetting is that CG introduced GA - the only game mode that I am aware of that "punishes" bloat GP - 3 years into the game. People can't "ungear" or "unlevel" characters they geared or leveled up years ago for specific events or modes that are no longer even around, or needed.

TW has the same punishment, the team count is less and we all have guildmates that help balance it out, but guilds can still be matched with more competitive guilds because they have a high GP from "bloat".

True - but, as you stated, that tends to be mitigated over 50 members of the guild and tends to even out.

My last GA, there was 1 of the 8 of us that had Revan. The bottom of his roster was all unleveled and I would guess he had stripped mods off most of his characters as well. It's the only way he could have the type of top-heavy roster he did and still somehow be matched with the other 7 of us based on GP. He had many more full g12+ characters than the rest of us - and Revan. He won easily.

In TW, that can be balanced out with other guildmates who have slightly stronger rosters or some who might have kept Revan counters for offense. In GA there is no such balancing factors. Either you left a ton of undeveloped characters at the bottom of your roster or you didn't. If you didn't, you will face teams that have Revan when you (and the other 6 players) don't. That's not balance.
