I've introduced a few new players to the game and one pointed out to me that in the upcoming guild war 5th place will have poorer rewards than 6th-10th! I had a look and realised that their rewards will be
4th - Energy pot + 4* card to use as fodder
5th - Revive pot + same card as above
6th-10th - 10 Gems + same card as above
As 10 gems is obviously better than Energy pot or revive pot, then why invert the reward structure.
Hopefully somebody will get sane and think about defined and absolute rewards based on a players effort in the guild war - the complexities, contradictions and anomalies are staggering!
