TW Exploit

It was already stated - matching in this game is just an issue. It's already been shown that a guild with, and it's only an example to illustrate, 50 players x 50 toons x 6000 gp each could never over come 50 players x 25 toons x 12000 gp each.
There is no overwhelming far superior forces in this game. TBH, if unprepared, a weak guild is unlikely to be able to kill off a single CLS and crew on defense if it's too far above their heads, no matter the number of toons they have.
In all likelihood, matchmaking will rarely match up in a way that would be truly fair.
On the flip side the #2 rewards are close enough to the #1 it barely matters.

This "exploit" doesn't make sense.
If my guild wins, I get 2 zetas. If we lose or tie, I get one zeta. (106 mil GP, every TW is a tie for us)
So I could get 1 zeta each week with a tie, or sit out every other week and still average one zeta per week, but get about half of the other rewards.
Though, that's not actually correct. If my guild dropped down a bracket, we would only get 1 zeta for a win every other week and effectively cutting all other rewards by half. Who would do this?

They are only sitting about 5-10 players. If 10 players sit out you would get 8 zetas every 5 tws. Compared to 5 if you tied on all tws. P.s. you should try heavy defense on tw I'm in a guild that has 109 go and haven't tied since the beginning. If your clearing the board on offense you don't have enough defensive squads.

Still, each individual would not participate in all five TWs and therefore would not get 8 zetas. Over the course of those 5 TWs, you would lose 350 guild tokens, 75 event tokens, etc.
If the entire guild participates in all of them, and you manage to win just one, the total rewards come out better.

106m GP every TW has been a win for us.

uh, no?
1 win, 4 losses = 6 zeta's * 50 = 300 zeta's equally distributed
5 wins = 10 zeta's * 40 = 400 zeta's for the entire guild
(that's with 10 players benched each TW)

It is not an exploit, it is poor planning and poor programming in the attempt to make you spend some more money in the game somehow. You should get used to it.

How tf would this encourage spending?

Not everything is a conspiracy. Geez...

So your guild asks people to not register for TW’s? @snowhut

We just get volunteers. TW's are actually really poorly designed and boring. We have plenty of people that would just rather not do them and it actually guarantees us first place.

Lets not pass opinion off as fact ey? leads to dangerous places that does.

Let's not nitpik words on an internet forum, ey?

Have you just met the internet?

Anyway. those protecting the current system are either thick or protecting the exploit.

The guild GP should be locked regardless of participation. If guild.memebers arnt active enough to join TW then they are likly not mKing tickets either and should be replaced.

simple fix. But lets again watch those abuseing the exploit come in and defend their easy zetas.

It’s refreshing to see some guys openly admitting their guilds use this technique of benching players to compete at a lower tier.

So many daydreamers here thing this sort of thing doesn’t happen. Of course it does, wake up people.

have you considered the possiblity that your "simple fix" isn't that great of a fix and that's why people disagree with you? Nah, that can't be it, you're a genius and everyone who disagrees with you is either thick or an exploiter. Coincedentilly all smart people think that way, or was it the not so smart people who think that way? i dunno, it's probably cause i'm thick (or an exploiter)
