Flawless suggestions are our goal. Its the flawed suggestions that need to be hashed out. My suggestion was flawed it had too many holes and when you try to plug those holes the idea becomes too complicated.

Somewhere out there, theres an idea that will fix the horrible match making of siege. That is also simple enough RW would considering implementing. Something revolving around a gear score like your original suggestion might be the way to go. The good thing about gear score is once implemented it can be used for all forms of organized pvp not just SW.

Put a 1 day cooldown on Recent Guild inductees for witch they can't join Siege, let people join guild when ever they want but put that cool down in and you will see a lot less Mercenaries also

as a side note perhapes they should implement a system that stops siege grabbing alt guilds
if a guild drops siege 5 times in a row and there guild is only 5 members or less perhaps it needs cleaning out

There is no honor, no sense of community on Artemis at end game.

Quoted from "Abazor;469888"

I think one way of making guild siege better balanced is by making guild membership more important. Make it so people do not want to leave a guild and rejoin daily.

This can be done by a guild relationship buff. The longer you are in the guild, the stronger the buff or perhaps even in time add more buffs.

If you leave the guild you loose the buff. If you rejoin a guild you start all over from the beginning.

That being said, I've got a couple friends from other guilds; those other guilds, for one reason or another, don't siege every night, so we let them come siege with us whenever they want to. They're not "siege breaking" mercs (siege breaking merc = 150k HP DPS toon in a battlefield full of 30 - 50k HP toons), so I don't see a problem with them jumping in just for fun. However, limiting their siege rewards would just be unpleasant, and then they'd get limited again when they go back.

Bottom line is there are no easy fixes. Without trying to stop guild-hopping, I think the gear-rating matchup, as long as it isn't exploitable, is probably the fairest idea I've seen on the forums.

Quoted from "LonerMan;470506"

Does not matter about the rewards. Unless it is something that can not be bought or something special than the OP will not care. Some OP people may spend a million or more gold in potions every siege. I have spent up to 2-3 million playing siege.

Quoted from "GarySandstorm;471956"

Personally, i would say if anyone enters a guild they should get a buff that stops them from entering siege for atleast 2 days.

if that is too much for you, then if someone leaves a guild only let them join a new guild 24hours later. that way they miss any siege for the same day.

even better use both those ideas.

For any decently serious player, being out of a guild and not taking part of siege for a few days should be no problem. Heck alot of the time most guild dont even get into siege registration.

and why should you be guild hoping? its frowned upon!
