Guild BR should be basic player strength (minus sylph, euds), and that only players in the guild when registration takes place are eligible for rewards. Simple, really. If you are not part of X Guild when registration takes place you get nothing. Otherwise, the cheating guilds get rewarded and the honorable guilds get the shaft.

again when #1 guild fights #2 guild in week 1 and after 4 prelim weeks you have 3 top teams left and 7 scrubs that have no chance on competing why bother. plus also u had 4 ppl in xsgb who were u beating w/ 4 ppl? get a grip.

Well, it takes away the whole point imo, guilds with this sorta br don't need to do this ****, takes away chances from smaller guilds
Hard enough to keep up with these "older" server as it is...

In cross server guild battle Serenity Kongregate-10 BR is listed as 31,237,294, but when you check cross server guild ratings it says BR is actually 51,351,333... Thats a difference of 20,114,039... Did guild get that much of bonus from their guildmates winning Titan Wars?

In the night before Registration they drop Sylphs, Guards, maybe kicked some people who later join again. Once registered with the daily rankings BR (taken between 3 and 5), that BR is listed permanent for the whole season.
No matter how much progress or people they add after clicking Registration.
The reason for this is easy: Avoiding equal or bigger enemies in prelims (with same wins/points). The first prelims Battle is said to be random, but experience says that most guilds meet close or equal BR there too.

A win is a win, and a win below 60 minutes means clean 10.000 points. As long as wins and points are same, the listed BR makes the ranking/matching. Rank 7 meets 8. Rank 11 meets 12. (Ranking in CSGB !!)
Two "equal" or close BR guilds only meet, when having same wins/points. If the listed BR was lowered massive before Registration, it's of course not truly equal.
Worst case: When a big guild registered normal, they can't bring all the guild's listed BR into a Battle. 40 people limit. Maybe you are listed with 30 Million, but can bring only 20 Million to battle.
If you have lowered massively, you can bring even more than the listed BR. 15 Million listed, 25 in Battle. Something like that. Depending on the number of active members.
Guild BR for daily ranking always counts only from people who were online within last 7 or 14 days. Not sure on this one.

But it's not always like cheating. The divided System can cost you big rewards, even as a strong guild. Even as a guild in the Cross Top 5. If you lost a prelims Battle even close, you maybe already missed Diamond.
While other guilds who you would eat in minutes, reach Diamond by winning all 4 prelims. Still I think, there is no need for reducing guilds half BR, except reaching Diamond without "deserving" it.

Of course it's stoopid too, when you are matched to a 5x stronger guild only by wins/points. The system needs some extra care ...

simple tactic u strip off the night before u register so rankings of everyplayers lower then u register for esayer matches whilst keeping the guild br high enough to still end up in diamond after prelims..... called being smart ....

oh didnt realize it was strip cross server guild battle and 20 mil br thats alot iof stripping

BR should update with BR after first round then could only do this for first fight

pretty sure if the moronic ranking and matching system didn't remove the 7 top teams (which then leaves in 7 crappy teams) after prelims. ppl wouldn't have to figure out how not to get hosed every xsgb. when 1 fights 2 the 1st round its basically over right then and there.

also heard you had 4 ppl in xsgb and sat in spawn so wouldn't have mattered anyway.

Nah, they probably stripped before entering XGB

I have a question. My Guild Master said they received a letter a few days ago saying that the Cross Server Guild Battle was cancelled due to not enough teams and was refunded 500,000 Guild Wealth. My question is, if it was cancelled how are others still in the Guild Battle? Is there a certain quota from each Server that needs to be filled in a certain bracket for there to be enough teams?

[Anomie]

and it was a giant clusterbug as we all expected.

Black screens
Combat that never started
Combat that never ended
Inability to attack anything as supposedly in combat
Players not reviving, just staying as dead ghosts

Sure there were more problems, but that is what I saw.
