Smurf Guilds, Etc.

Ever heard of a smurf guild? It's a great new exploit coming to a GvG near you!

Here is the idea.

(1) The higher the rank, the more faction you get from the guild battle.
(2) The lower the rank, the less faction you get.
(3) Farming faction is important.

Here is how it works.

Guild A -> A low ranked PvP Rank 3+ Guild (Rank ~100)
Guild B -> The "smurf" Guild, high ranked (Rank ~+1600)
Guild C -> The victim.
Guild D -> The lucky one.

(1) The members in guild A have two accounts; the second account has players in guild B.
(2) Guild B invites 4 players from guild A.
(3) Guild B starts a GvG at a high-rank vs. Guild C.
(4) Guild B starts winning and gets lot of faction.
(5) Repeat 3 & 4 until rank is < 1000.
(6) Guild B starts a GvG at a lower-rank vs. Guild D.
(7) Guild B intentionally dies, but kills the NPC archers to get something out of the loss.
(8) Guild B's ranking goes back up from losses.

And now you have a great new way to gain your faction. Damn, I'm going to get flamed for this.

Ahh, I was missing the part about intentionally tanking the rating to fight lower ranked teams.

Makes sense, if only I needed faction.

Hardly new...

Sock Puppets Guild [SPG]

so many people already unlocked all their skills, its dumb now.

the problem with smurf guilds is that they can easily trash whatever they fight against until they get to the 100+ part, so its unfair for newer players

If you're a high ranked guild, why do you care about faction?

can also be used to tank the rating of annother guild by beating them with a lower ranked guild

if its a second account, the faction is getting unlocked on the second account, not the first. untill they make a rule where you can only be in one guild with one account, its not even close to an exploit.
