The 'Golden Age' of towering has long been dead anyways. The reason why guilds can just noob recruit and win is because of 1.) The lack of competition anywhere, stemming from other guilds with similar roster values, as well as the stupid truces guilds make to rotate out holding sards to 1k. 2.) The way the system works, which encourages noob recruiting.
There used to be more active tower guilds than there were towers, and this era is gone. VG, CoM, Project Soul, NaL, MENSO, etc. all used to compete for various towers. Not anymore.
The fact that there are guilds that continually noob recruit to 1k is to be expected at this point. For those who don't like it, I suggest finding all of your pro buds and starting a lot of tower guilds to get some CPR done on this dead aspect of the game.
