    Since they still haven't bothered closing this cheating loophole I'll guide you guys through hos you can cheat aswell.
    (Dont! This post is meant as a wake up call to the devs)

    Cheaters guide to winning most rivalries (using a guild with our questing ability as example, your # of quests may vary. We do 48 with low boosting, and around 55 if pushing hard).
    First you need to create some empty shell guilds with alternate accounts and make sure these guilds quest so little that you get matched against guilds you can easily beat (i.e. 0-12 or w/e). Afterwards here is the cycle you follow:

    Week 0 = Move to first Empty Shell guild just before rivalry resets.
    Week 1 = Complete 48 quests for #1 (48 to pick up 12000 Board clear bonus). No boosts required.
    Week 2 = Now you’ll be matched against guilds peaking with 48q. Moderate boosting and around 50 required for easy #1.
    Week 3 = Harder opponents. Use the builds you’ve gathered over the last 3 weeks to go as high as required for #1.
    Week 4 = Clear first three boards with low boosting, after that consider if #1 or #2 is reachable. If so then push and get a final 21/42k token reward. If the rivalry is too difficult then casually play to 48, and leave for next shell guild just before rivalry resets.

    And repeat.

    Would probably be more efficient to just leave every other week. As far as I know (and from what devs have said) this is not considered a punishable exploit because it has such a low reward. Nothing like the last guild exploits. Still too much work for most guilds to organize.

    Maybe so but you are still missing tokens for that first week being not able to claim, so overall it's not really that beneficial for most competing guilds.

    You’re not missing anything. If your guild is only getting 3rd-4th place this week, then chances are, you won’t do any better the following week. Especially with all the other guilds sandbagging.

    The only way you lose tokens is by staying in the same guild, and losing every week.

    Hence why I said most competing guilds, you also are missing out on each board rewards, for me personally it's not viable and it's not really a exploit of the guild system.

    My experience is that ‘competing’ is not sustainable, because the harder you push, the harder the next rivalry will be, until you’re not able to win anymore.

    You don’t lose out on any board rewards. Complete as many boards as you can, get all the rewards, and if you’re still in 4th place, just join the new guild before the rivalry starts again.

    All you’ve lost is 5k tokens, and you’ll easily make that back by getting 42k, for the next few weeks, instead of 3rd-4th place prizes.

    Lets analyse what is happening here. You are creating new guilds for the sole purpose of fooling the matchmaking for thinking that you are worse than you are. As an end result you'll end up ruining the rivalry for the 5 other guilds. This is equivalent of dropping your infamy for the purpose of getting easier matches. Just because it's technically possible to do so does not mean it is acceptable behavior. This is clearly against fair play as it ruins other people's experience and hence an exploit. Get caught doing it and you'll risk having to find a new game to play in the future.

    Case closed.
