Since I started this discussion, I thought I would add one more piece of information that might help explain why this is happening. If you scroll down to the bottom of the Season rankings you will notice some interesting anomalies. There are dozens and dozens of recently created guilds. To point out the obvious, there are new guilds gy1 to gy20 and there are guilds upan1 to upan44 and probably many other not so obvious guilds created to do something. Many possibilities come to mind, with the most logical one being 1 team guilds created to obtain medals that would then be farmed and spent by the home guild. The names imply that whoever is doing this is not even trying to hide the fact that they are doing something shady to take advantage of some loop hole that they believe that they have found to screw other teams in the guild wars.

I am not accusing any particular guild of doing this, in fact it is possible that someone is actually trying to cast a shadow on the guild named "gy" which has done so well in Guild Wars.

Just keep in mind the following:

If a guild won every War with 60K points (60K is an achievable goal, though our guilds target is to make sure that we surpass 50K on each War), and you had 8 team members who spent all of their medals earned during the War. Then a target to reach would to have about 620K season points.

Note: Currently 20th spot in this season's guild wars is 886.9K points. While it can be argued that maybe some of them are spending real $$'s to achieve this ranking, it seems apparent to me (and maybe I am wrong) that most of the top 20 teams are screwing around with loop holes / deficiencies in the current Guild Wars system.

So, if indeed all medals are being zeroed out at the end of the season, this may be the developer's attempt to fix the issues. (But I doubt that this will work.) The idea of losing your accumulated medals if you leave a guild, does actually sound like a good idea. The idea of zeroing out accumulated Medals for all Guild's and all team member's of those guilds may be a bit of overkill and counter productive.

It would be similar to, if when they did the rebalancing in Smutstone, they had decided to zero every player's, gold and gems. Oh, and by the way lets also zero everybody's stones and dups as well.

If this is a one time thing, then I guess I can live with it. If they decide that going forward this is what they are going to do at the end of every season, then I guess they are encouraging everyone to just go out and try to find the holes in the Guild System and exploit them. Because if you are not "cheating" you can not win or even get top 50.

Sorry for the VENTING, but something is really wrong here and I doubt that zeroing everyone's accumulated medals is the solution.
