This ranking system isnt a what have you done for me lately system. You could easily make that some guilds are trending up based on recent events, and others down.



This is more like College Football Rankings, a season long ranking system that has to balance what games you won Early in Sept vs games you won in Nov. It has to combine how do you compare a undefeated team with a weak schedule vs a 1 loss SEC killer schedule team. IE this is an expansion long ranking with Beta out and new expansion around the corner



In honor of the New College Football Playoffs: I was trying to find the 4 Playoff Teams based on the whole Season of the last expansion + bonus war.



Ranking Committee Thoughts:

A win is a win. So logging in sooner to beat Void/Argin does matter. So does starting to attempt War sooner vs choosing to not start trying war in summer





2) A hard win (Yes this includes War) is better than an Easy Win (All progession raids besides Tower V1V2).



2) A championship win (Tower V1) is worth more than other hard wins (War) because it was both hard and progression based and was a full scale no excuses race

4)

4) Easy Raids: Tier1a, Tier1b, Argin, Void, Tower V3,

5) Hard Raids: Tower V1, V 2, & War Version 1 & 2



6) I tried counting positions, but its not easy to do on T1a, T1b if I made a mistake, it wasnt intentional post a correction:



7) Freelance might be under ranked cause hard to track.



8) Patches are hard to tell I think it was June 18th that fixed Tower and marks V1 to V2 so I think Triton won just before the Lag Fix. But Im not 100% Sure.



9) July 2nd: Nerfed Towered to V3 + Lowered War to V2



Ranks: Tier1 = In the Playoffs



1) ROI. No doubt here. Straight first places on all Easy Raids & Hard Raids. Only guild to beat War 1.0



Second Tier: Shadows of Doom Machin Shin, Triton, Crimson Tempest These are only guilds that beat both Tower V1, and War V2. Now as you can see we have 4 guilds and only 3 spots. Heres where the fun starts as one of these guilds would be sitting home and out of the playoffs.



Shadows of Doom ( T1a: 8th?, T1B: 3rd: Tower V2: 3rd, Argin 14th, Void War 3rd)

Machin Shin (T1a: 2nd, T1B: 2nd, Tower V1: 2nd, Argin 3rd, Void 2nd, War 7th

Triton (T1a 5th? Tierb: 6th? Tower V1 6th, Argin 6, Void8th, Argin 6th Void 8, War 2nd

Crimson Tempest: ( T1a: 4th? Tier1B: 5th? Tower V2: 4th, Argin 2nd, Void 9th War5th



Shadows Con: Disappointing placement on T1A + especially Argin.

MS Con: Disappointing placement on War.

Triton & CT Share Same Con: Disappointing finish on Tower V1



If I had to rank these 4, I tend to go for impressive wins, which would move Shadows to 2nd. Their solid third place in both War/Tower beats the other 3 who had either a disappointing War/Tower. BUT that Argin/T1b would be like barely winning in OT against a weak team. Definitely a bad taste the voters might penalize.



Triton > CT for me. Tritons large win on War over CT is enough in my mind to cover CT consistent small wins everywhere else.



Now placing MS vs CT is a Hard but Im going to go with MS. MS had a significant edge on Tower. CT had a significant edge on War. But like I said I do rate Tower a bit higher. Plus MS edged on most other easy events.



Now placing Triton vs MS. Is a toss up. MSs Tower win is more impressive and significant. But Triton won war by an even larger margin. MS consistently beat Triton who didnt finish all the easy event stuff on release day. Im not as big a fan of dividing on same day kills, but when the kill Is a day or 2 later. You could probably convince me to reverse these two though. But since they are both in the playoffs, its splitting hairs. ((Well maybe not because in Playoff those hairs would be Facing ROI in Round 1))



So Subjectively: Tier2 for me: Shadows, MS, Triton, CT (Sorry no Playoff, your this years got hosed barroom debate!)



Third Tier: Beat TV2 + War: IL



Honorable Mentions Fourth Tier: Any guild that beat EITHER War V2 OR Tower V2 No particular order



Freelance (War) Pain and Glory (Tower V2) Descendents (TV2) Silent Majority (TV2) Enceldus (TV2) Ring of Valor (TV2)



Again please remember this is an Expansion Wide Debate. Not a most current or who is currently strongest. It's a college football like debate.



And counting on T1A and T1B was hard. If I made a mistake please correct me it wasnt intentional.



There is no right-wrong. If triton wants to claim #2 for beating War #2, they arent wrong. Or MS for beating Void #2. But please remember that's not the system I am shooting for here. I'm looking whole expansion wide.
