how 2 fix guild spar boosting
 
remove 1 room during registration week
add it back after

This will lead to +100 members in the room. Plus, guilds rarely boost in the registration week they usually boost a month before gst.
There is no need to do anything towards guild boosters since most of them get resetted before gst day, the rest get resetted an hour before gst.

Only allow points to be accumulated when cores and/or subs of the specific guild are sparring. It would be a little extreme if boosters coordinated to get 5 online for the sole purpose of boosting

Boosting points allows guilds to avoid the better teams until the later rounds, thus increasing the likelihood of them placing. This is detrimental to the accuracy of the tournaments outcome

The same guilds boost and selective spar every season. None of them succeed

"Resetted" isn't a word lol. Bs you actually live in the UK

I like the Idea of the cores or subs have to be on the spar team to gain points. It would help greatly determine the skill level of your team opposed to opposing teams you'll face. I like this idea it also helps build team work and as well as understanding of your team mates.

Would be easy if an hour before GST everyones scores were reset and whoever gets the highest scores in that hour gets qualified/the best seed. bec graal is pretty dead nobody in the spar community in their right mind is playing more than an hour a day anymore and the only time people play for over an hour is GST day(besides the Alumni nerds)

That would be a little unfair. An hour ahead is a bit overkill. You'd have to do really well. And it can be used to cripple opposing guilds. For instance, in th GS if you spar a high point guild and win you get more points since they was likely harder to beat. Now low point guilds you'll likely recieve less points over beating if my understanding of points for GS is correct.

I feel This would make it more a luck based thing instead of a skill based way of doing things.

For that to work there would either have to be a new change to the system, where thereīs cores and subs registered for the whole season 24/7 (and even then there would need to be a fee for changing cores/subs or people would just register whomever they wanna boost with).
The only other way for that to work is that guilds can only gain points during GST week, which also has itīs flaws.

Perhaps a time limit between when subs or core can be changed? Like only once every 6 hours.

Apparently the answer is reset the season scores and let it sort itself out. Now only ppl who boost for the next 24-36 hours will get in.

I think a small fee for changing them would work better.
They could still boost easily with a time limit, just slower paced

This could quite possibly, be the most ******ed thing I've ever read on this forum site.

how about, all guild points get reset when hats are introduced, and guilds have a week to get points for gst? This would limit boosting guilds and give people some time to gain points.

Saeed 09-02-2017 11:42 AM

To be honest, I don't see guilds that boost are having a massive impact on gst. Boosters always lose in the first two rounds.
Also, almost all guilds that boos gets reset and the ones who don't get caught only boosted few matches that don't even give them 100 points (if they were above 6k). If they were below 6k, their guild rating will get low because of beating a weak guild which will negatively effect their points jump.
I think the rules are fine as they are now.

Thallen 09-02-2017 04:24 PM

no guild who has ever boosted their GS score has won the GST so I don't even see why these idiots do it, doubt half of them even understand how the brackets work

Isnt it just randomized, the GS score is only to place.
