Sometimes, you can get a fairly equal match, and it's not a matter of higher BR, but of who is willing to just get in this event and play...and play hard. Be a great guild and make even the newer players or the less-spendy players or the ones whose play style has given them lower BR a chance to be part of the winning team, and that is a win for the whole guild. If you get an event where you simply count on the top 2-5 players for a guild carrying you, there's not as much point for everyone else to even enter the room. And that makes bored players that go away.
IW tried very hard to be about who would buy the most movement points using balens, and it really was a boring event. I think many in my guild played it just because that's how you got certain rewards, but many were happy to log in with 1 minute left and claim rewards while doing other things in-game for the rest of the event. Siege lets you get on in your own good time...if that's 3AM when everyone else is asleep, fine, no penalty...and when you've done what you came to do, you're not held up there dying of boredom, you just leave. It lets people in the guild say "hey, just get in and give it a couple of minutes and help the guild," and makes it easy. In a balanced match, it's also going to take you time to decide who you should attack, who else in your guild can or should attack some people, so you're left with preferred targets if you're playing it smart.
Maybe I'll change my mind after playing the event more. It's not perfect, and I'll keep my eyes open. But, this far along, I'm really not willing to get down on this one unless I see a reason to change my mind. With so many other things going on that are a major problem right now, this is a comparative bright spot. I still hear some returning players are dismayed by the amount of game change, and some leave again because there's just nothing familiar anymore. (Though that's not strictly true with modified WB and a couple of other things, but they have a point about too much change that doesn't work well.) If the lag gets fixed...and STAYS fixed this time...Siege isn't such a bad event.
