Guild Battle Ended Prematurely

At the time we were asking quite a few wtfs, but I'll ask it more nicely here.

We had a 16 minute battle in GvG and at the end when we killed the Guild Lord (right at the 2 minute res mark) it said "Guild Battle Ended Prematurely" and sent us back to the hall. Neither us nor the other team got credit for our win.

It happened to us 3 times now , 2 wins and 1 loss, yet no change from our rating. Is GvG just bugged right now? Or is it a personal problem?

Here's two screenshots of the two battles we won, yet didn't.




EDIT- BlackArrow:

We fought your guild who put up a good fight might I add, the first GvG. Then we fought DA and had some miscommunication in our team leaving us split up as they assassinated our Guild Lord. Then we fought your guild again in our third attempt at GvG (and last*) for the night.

*because it didn't give us credit for wins/losses--good practice though.

They worst part I see is that both of those were against my guild RoA. How did you end up fighting us twice?

The same thing happened to us last beta. We played a few battles and weren't credited for any of them.

EDIT:

I'm glad they put up a good fight, I wish I could have been there. Our problem is that we GvG alot and end up getting losses that nullify our wins. Often our losses come from disorganized teams or from more skilled guilds (Agony and Blood Eagle both destroyed us). We were up to 8th at one point on the ladder but then lost a few in a row (a couple to you guys too it seems) and dropped to 43rd.

MY Guild had this happen twice (out of about 6 or so total)

Agony won 4 games today that all ended in no points for anyone. I believe it's been reported, and hopefully will come up for discussion. It can't be a timing issue, because some of those took almost 15 minutes, while some of the wins that actually came up as points took barely more than 5. My guess is that something was put in as an effort to keep people from tossing games to other guilds, but it doesn't seem to be working as intended, whatever that intent was.

SoW also had this happen to us a couple times- we fought 10-12 guild battles, and 2 of them "ended prematurely". It has been reported, and I'm sure that some of the excellent folks over at ArenaNet are trying to track down what's causing this. We've also had some problems with having problems connecting to the server after particularly short matches, so we can't enter a GvG battle for a while..... how long do you really expect a guild with 8 level 20's to take to wipe out a level 6 who enters a guild battle with 4 henchmen? I'm sure it's something to do with exploit prevention, but it can be quite annoying for people playing legitly to encounter these problems. However, with the feedback that they're getting, I'm sure that they'll get things straightened out quickly.

Alright, thanks for the replies. I'm glad it isn't just our guild having the issue.

I'm sure Anet will address it promptly so no worries.

Some of them were full teams... still... "the battle has ended prematurely"

Likewise, we're just balanced on our Win-loss. BWE previous to this last one, we entered the GvG as a lark and promptly had various pieces of our anatomy handed to us. We managed to rally around this time and at least win enough to even things out.

I have to say, though, that we did not encounter this error. (At least, not to my knowledge. There was one I wasn't present for)
