So youre saying that several ppl feel they matter more because they are endgamers in top guilds?

I firmly believe the mid week change last week was a bug fix which they said they would make if noticed. Mentioning that it was done would have been better though I guess the figured theyâd get less vitriol by keeping it quiet rather than announcing a change was made at that time even if that further erodes any future trust they want us to have in them.

hmmm⌠this make me thinks the same thing. much like how pvp score and reward are flawed and open to exploit. i donât need exact formula, but it is better to know what to do and what not to do to get max score, assuming it is a fair system and cannot be exploited.

Put âBlack Pearlâ up there.
Competition without clear rules is annoying.
I guess they are trying to counter Intrim vs Intrim II possible exploit, or any other sister guild fights. Like if you donât know the formula you canât cheat.
But the way they do it is very lame 
And they could tell about it directly, this âwe just wonât tell youâ is kinda disrespectful to the gaming community, shameâŚ

I donât like to come on the boards and spread negativity, and usually keep negative comments to myself on the whole. However, I agree that the scoring is baffling.
Getting a low score is strange because often youâre not sure what you did âwrongâ, and getting a high score is unrewarding because youâre not sure what you did ârightâ. Itâs therefore very difficult to feel any sense of improvement other than by trial and error with different teams, because the system gives you no feedback. And even if you do improve your score, youâre not sure why or how.
In the official news thread when GW was restarted, I suggested a feedback pop-up at the end of each game giving you a general rating on how you measured against the scoring criteria, which many appeared to agree with.
Right now it feels like a boxing match being scored by an AI. Sure, you got a round-1-first-punch KO but you only get 1 point for technique because you only used the uppercut; also you get 0 points for stamina as you didnât go at least 10 rounds; also you get 0 points for determination as you didnât get back up after a 10-count; however you do get 10 points for speed so well done on that one.
Not on behalf of any guild, just myself.

No. The opaqueness of the scoring system overall.
Now here is a suggestion i would support! All the guilds who matter more than me abstaining from GW! Hahahahaha

Collectively express their dissatisfaction with as much united support as possible, even if the likely response is some pr answer that will say much word wise but mean little with no value or depth.

Yeah⌠As long as you arenât a lowly peasant
Gw scoring iscompletely random now you can do exactly the same thing in 2 match in a row and get a completely different score. The old scoring system was just fine itâs facing the same defense match after match after match that is a problem.

I am GL for MATCH MASTERS which is #3 rank and currently in bracket 2 Guild Wars.
I personally am enjoying wars much more with the new scoring system.
I just put up a straw poll for members to say if they âlikeâ or âdislikeâ the new scoring.
So far I have had 11 responses.
9 = like
2 = dislike
The general feedback (apart from the poll) is that this guild SUPPORTS the NEW system of scoring.

There have been some different ideas tossed around but nothing definite decided. They want to see how many guilds agree with us before deciding.
In this instance, all the guilds are peasants here because other than localizing their dissatisfaction, what can they do? Why do they mention top guilds? Because theyâre the ones who got together and put forth the effort, not to the exclusion of anyone as again, guilds not at the top have joined in to agree with the sentiments. Individuals have too. You have expressed your opinion and donât wish to be included. Great. That is completely your prerogative. However no one is being excluded because of their guild rank. I donât have a vested interest in any of this but I couldnât agree with @Aelthwyn more and itâs not because thatâs the gm of Anonymous. Itâs because I agree with the point and issues made. Does my voice matter less? No but then I think nothing will change either. But at least someone was willing to stand and fight the fight. Not everyone has to nor is everyone dissatisfied. But no one is being excluded from this if you agree and want to be a part.

Iâve already suggested to the group that if we protest, all guild in bracket 1 will set the new event troop at base level for all defenses. This will have the effect of locking bracket 1 down. It will allow two teams to bounce between 1 and 2. This will be in the spirit of GWs, as we will be doing it to analyze the scoring mechanisms for future competitive play.
