TW Sandbagging...needs to be regulated..
Can we finally get some press about this issue? Our opponent is a 200+m gp guild who elected to push their guild down into an easier bracket by having 10 to 12 of their member go into smaller feeder g...

So, this comes up a lot, and there are some things we should keep in mind:
1. Not all guilds do it on purpose
2. If a guild is doing it on purpose, they are not necessarily shuffling people, they may just be fine running at 47 or 48/50 all the time
3. Over 6 months, assuming a 100% win rate (up from about 50%), a guild that forces people to sit out in a rotation will net each of their members an extra 20 zeta mats
Lots of people still say this doesn't work, or it doesn't do anything, or whatever. But I have been on both sides, and it 100% is a thing and it should be addressed. A month or so ago my guild was matched against a guild with 46 members, and their GP was still higher than our 50 members. GP is clearly a terrible way to find matches.
There are lots of things they *could* do, but probably what they *should* do is compare the things that matter: number of zetas, number of g12+ characters, number of speed mods (broken out by brackets, a la DSR), and number of current top tier characters. There is currently a widely used Discord bot that will show you these numbers, and it is always very clear who will win and who will lose before the first defense is even set (assuming actual effort from both sides).
