TB/TW overlapped
it seems to me that this time these two events overlap each other. TB seems to start one hour before the end of TW. I remember that the last time it happened there were problems with the rewards...

I'm not usually one for Schadenfreude, but the thought of all those big guilds sending a few members off on holiday for TW who now can't rejoin with their rewards intact is like a big bowl of happiness!
They don't "send them off on holiday".... They make a rotation and they simply tell them not to join.....
This isn't true in any of the alliances I've been in (3 good sized ones with guilds between 80M and 170M GP). Typically guilds keep 2-3 ticket generating alts on the roster to allow flexibility within the alliance. This leads to having less than 50 for nearly every TW I've been in and nobody is told not to join.
This has been the way these guilds and alliances have worked since before TW. I can't speak to the effects on TW since I've not looked critically at the matchups (which have been pretty even for the most part with a small string of mismatches recently) but I can say that in my experience nobody is in any rotation or told to sit out.
That may be the way your alliance works, but that doesn't speak for all of them..... Each of the last 7 TW, we have been paired with guilds 40 mil plus GP higher than us fielding 36 - 40 players when we field 50...... Some of these guilds have had 5-10 players with 3.5 plus mil GP...... We have none that high..... One guy with 3.5 carries way more weight than two with 1.75.....
Your first statement is absolutely correct. I don't intend to speak for all. Just thought I'd share since I've had experience in a few alliances and that experience contradicted the popular sentiment that folks are told to sit out.
