TW tie equals second place for both teams?
If you wipe out the oppositions defence completely you should get first place whether you win or draw. Having to defeat all of the oppositions defensive sections completely means no one will collud...

Seriously though... successful defensive teams should get 5 banners for defending... 10 for defending twice... etc... that would eliminate like 99% of ties... even if both guilds cleared the map. Even adding +1 banner per successful defense will break 99% of ties too.
Another idea is awarding a bonus of like 2-3 zetas or omegas or a single whole gear piece for clearing map. And if both teams clear map they both get the bonus. Then there's a REAL incentive for guilds to stay engaged and go for broke... I get the 2nd place tie thing really I do... I agree with it really and this is my preferred idea, a bonus for clearing the map. Plus I can see peeps losing interest in TW faster than a debate on the dust mite collections of Ben Stein & Ben Carson... if theres no incentive to clear the map.
As far as both teams getting 2nd place... picture this... a grassy field, a moonlight night, 2 samurai meet each other and know death is the only way they are leaving... both charge, a flash of steel, all goes red, each samurai is mortally wounded, but each has to much pride and honor to let the enemy see him die by the enemies hand... so they both commit seppuku simultaneously...
Thus both get 2nd place... but get the map clearing bonus.
