What is the tie breaker for Territory War?(I'm sorry if this has been covered somewhere, but I browsed and searched - both these forums and the internet in general - and still can't seem to find the info anywhere.)

There isn’t one. Both guilds get 2nd place rewards if they tie.

They could at least make you tie for 1st instead of tie for 2nd. Shame.(Thanks for the response, though!)tie for second prevents coordinating a tie to both get 1st place rewards

Also the reward difference is super minor.

Boom, first place rewards for everyone.

Seriously, they never added a tie breaker?! Tbf, it is much less likely to happen with the scoring changes they added, but to give both teams lower rewards when it does happen is ridiculous. They could at least make you tie for 1st instead of tie for 2nd. Shame.

I understand the reason, but in effect it means both teams in my TW will be punished when we gave our full effort. I'm not sure what's worse:

having a ridiculous, irrelevant, or arbitrary tie breaker like in GAC, or
having no tie breaker, and giving both teams the lower reward.

I could recommend a few relevant tie breakers, but it's probably not something that happens frequently enough for CG to actually fix it. And I'll be the first to assert there are more important problems that should be fixed first. But still, it's a shame (even if a minor one).

What do we need a tie breaker for? How often has a tie happened since the scoring changes?

I think I covered that in my post you're responding to... Excerpt:

If I misunderstood your question, I apologize.

What I mean is, because a tie is extremely unlikely, why bother creating a tie breaker? From an ROI standpoint, why would CG bother? It might not have even happened at all in the last 2 years since they made the change.

So, what I am asking is, why do you think they should fix a problem that doesn't exist?

I would agree it's not game-changing, but I wouldn't call an extra zeta and omega mat super minor, especially at the lower levels and for non-whale players.
