I started a thread back in December: > [@Apply the same metric to GW Bracket winners and losers](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/apply-the-same-metric-to-gw-bracket-winners-and-losers/60240): > > The current system allows winners of lower GW brackets to climb brackets more rapidly. Sometimes my guild would jump 17 brackets, sometimes only 8, depending on the win margin or percentage or however it is determined. I would like to see 10th place finishers to drop more rapidly under a similar system. If the 10th place guild narrowly loses, it would drop only a few brackets. If it was down to 3 or 5 members, it would drop more. I’ve read dozens of threads in the GW Topics, and all the pos… Perhaps someone more persuasive could make a better argument. To be clear, I do not advocate for all last place finishers to drop more that the designed 2 brackets. The Guild that finished last in bracket 5 is currently winning bracket 7 on XBox. I know this because they kicked our butts on Brown Day. But Guilds that score 0 points in a war should drop quite a bit. I would think that all it would require is to use the method for promoting bracket winners, but in reverse. We once jumped four brackets even while finishing second. So 8th and 9th place guilds that also score 0 should drop like stones as well. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/dead-guild-pruning-is-sorely-needed/61971)._
