Having a GvG medal, were one to be introduced, does not prove someone is a "Pro-Gvg'r" - all it proves is that they do a lot of 'em.
Same as an SE medal doesn't prove someone in a "Pro-Se Hunter" - it just means they've killed a lot of 'em.
To me, for what it's worth, a "Pro-GvG'r" is someone that tests their skills against other ready/prepared guilds, and not farms the weak/unwilling and a "Pro-SE Hunter" is someone that hunts their own SE's (at great stamina expense) rather than paying for locations.
OK, the above paragraph is somewhat off-topic, but sure, if you guys want a medal for it, fine - but lets just call it as it is - another medal that will be earned honestly by some, abused by others ![:)](/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png)
I actually took all that into consideration before posting,,
A gvg is paid for to start win lose or draw (also a great point for the medal, bounty hunters pay tickets, arena players gold, SE hunters stam, GvG players pay more into the game than those and dont get a medal to show for it) and just considered the cows and decided doing participation was easier than going back and picking wins from losses or draws. Unlike other medals that,,,hesitate to say "cheating" since buying a loc is ok with tos as is buying a bounty (although a very bad idea), you cant really "cheat" on a gvg medal,, well other than start one and not do them which is a dumb idea or hitswap which is just not something that would work out and in the end the guild is still paying for the conflict anyway.
It really wont prove anything but to the person who earned it but others can see by the medal how many someone has done and it may help deciding if they want to accept them as a gvger but mostly this is for the players who have done many just for the fun of it.
Also considered the start from 0 and loyalty thing and decided it is a player achievement more than a guild one,,, by comparison a arguement could be made to strip bounty and pvp ticks away if you leave a guild based on their help with buffs, same with SE,, we wouldnt want to take medals away because groups were used right?
The GvG ladder needs a thread too, its in need of resets,, with restrictions out there now on targets the ladder list is once again needing a refresh since inactive guilds are again showing as placed.
