I want to start by saying a couple things. 1. I strongly dislike noobs that do teams just for the gst. 2. I also dislike noobs that were recruited for the purpose of the gst and then talk smack about the new super spar teams like if they were any better. Saying all this I don’t believe there should be restriction implemented into the gst for the purpose of preventing this.

Take a look at it from the perspective of the top sparring names grouping into a guild just for the tournament. They're most likely going to dominate most other teams. In light of overall fun...I'd rather party at a sausage fest.

That’s how it currently works and nobody has dominated the gst.

Developers should be able to decide how to handle balancing issues.
|
They should also make decisions based on the possible improvements towards the server and not let their personal bias make the decisions.
Take xenix 1k hat. Someone allowed them to edit a hat that was never sold as their guild hat. That sets the precedence for future guilds to do the same thing. Take the original honor point hats, why shouldn’t future guilds be allowed to used them or a edit version of it?

I'm guessing the goal would be to make the GST more guild oriented.

I don’t see how they want to try to distinguish guild spar with team spar. I don’t think an event that allows only 7 out of the 25 members to participate could be considered guild oriented. Looks more like a way to prevent competition and semi-enforce guild loyalty.
The fact that a prize is given to the winner, makes the GST all about the competition without restrictions, unless its PED, and if people only do it for fun there shouldn’t be a problem with super spar teams.
A way to make the GST guild oriented would be by getting rid of the prize and letting people compete for bragging rights. Where at least 10 different members would have to participate. That would make it more about the guild than the “team”
