Really, aggressiveness is NO different from the old system where the team with the post damage done to the GL wins (that is how "aggressivness" is calculated. It really won't make any difference at all except prevent that 7 monk team turtling abuse.
Really, they just
a) didn't explain the concept enough when they first annoucned it
b) didn't really need to come up with a whole new word for this. The term "aggresiveness" is just confusing people.
They should have just said, "it is the same as before, the team that causes more damage to the GL wins, except now there is a penalty for enchanting the GL."
If that had been the announcement, most of this confusion would not exist.

It's a fundamental design flaw that is not easily compensated for, but they might as well try.

- Non-core classes are no longer allowed in Guild Battles.

We occasionally run proph+core in our Sealed Deck games, and it all seems to work out fine, though I always feel the itch to run Boonprot.
