Disney wasn't thinking! They have no new content for open, they know that guilds are creating their own "games" in order to keep everyone busy and active, and they saw this as an opportunity to hold a week long activity. I don't believe that they intended to say, "If you are in a smaller guild, quit and join a large guild so that you can win this." It is what they posted though.

In truth, Since this competition is for 9 days and is a guild vs. guild event, the movement of a few pirates from one guild to another, say a smaller guild to a large guild, is going to have little impact on the outcome.

There are guilds out there who consistantly are in the top 5 on a daily basis, and they will continue to do so during this contest, and they will win it.

I, as a Guild Master, would be rather leery of accepting a lot of new members during this week. A guild is usually a close knit group, we are all 'friends' in the game. Anyone who would JUMP guilds, just to say that they were part of the 'winning' guild for this one 9 day event is probably someone who wouldn't fit in, or stay.

Likewise, anyone who would leave a guild to go to a different one just to be part of the winning team, is someone I would probably NOT welcome back.
