    Im hard pressed to believe that a 2 man guild, with one player not even ranked with infamy has closed 36 quests!!
    I hope one of the developers can look into this and give an exclamation. It sounds fishy to me.

    Mod edit: Screenshot removed. Please use direct in-game reports for this.

    This is the common guild exploit everyone is using for some time now.

    The guild completed x amount of boards, then everyone, except a dummy account leaves before the rivalry is over and go into a fresh new guild or a another guild they all left before, so their opposition for the next rivalry is easier. A dummy account stays behind, so the players can rejoin again in a week or 2 once this guild rivalries for this guild become easier.

    My guild once went against a one man guild that did 43 quests. She beat us by 3 quests and was 100% legit.
    They might just have a lot of boosts.

    But is this not punishable switching guilds?

    Switching guilds for easier rivalries is against BB's fair play rules, and I think is punishable.

    They might not be switching guilds though, you don't know yet. It could be that they really did that many quests before. I've already met a one man guild that did more quests legitimately than them.

    Not an exploit.

    Just part of the rules. Once anyone switches guilds. They can't receive rewards for a week.


    As for the 2 players hitting 40+ quest.... if they have boost. And fleet every match. It is doable. Tip your hat and move on.

    Fact. Your guild won't win every guild rivalry. Stop trying to. I speak from experience as a guild that won 21 straight. Eventually you will lose. Play more for fun. And enjoy the ride.

    That's probably a 'shell guild' of a group of guild hoppers. Since the game matches guilds up based on the quests done for the past two weeks, some guilds like to jump between 2 guilds to win the rivalry more often. I'm not exactly sure but I think this is how it works:

    Step 1 Jump to second guild and leave 1 mini account in first guild to keep it open. Don't do quests/do some quests (do enough to earn some tokens, but not so much that they can't win next week) -- win rivalry board tokens but no rivalry end tokens (guild hopping penalty)
    Step 2 Do quests in second guild -- win rivalry board tokens and 1st place rivalry end tokens
    Step 3 Jump back to first guild. Repeat.
    By now the quests done should have reset, so they will get an easy match and can start the cycle again.

    Anyway whatever they do, they get to win 1st place more often, supposedly more tokens (some people did the math and said that it's still about the same tokens, but idk about that), and wreck their rivals' day week.

    some points given are understandable but even with boosts I find it difficult to believe. I’ve been playing for quite a while, even before the latest guild quests were created. Coming from a guild in which I created (US Rip Current) at 16-5-8, I really don’t expect to win them all even with the amount of fleeting we do and the time the guild puts in.
    Just didn’t make sense to me.
    Thanks guys

    It’s totally possible, although really hard because you’d have to play a lot.
