GE points are converted not into prestige, but into guild levels(into Crowns. Power). And although guild levels don't mean much either, GE still matters to those who haven't made it to level 100. Technically, at least.
Don't worry. There will still be room for ambitious guilds. There will be a new ranking list for guild raids when it is released. And I read rumours that Inno is working on some sort of super ranking that combines GE, GBG and GR so that the strongest guild of the server can show who's boss.
and a few guilds are tied at the top
Now *that* is what it should be. Not some ranking based on what a couple or half a dozen people can do for ten minutes a night.
You’ll still have differences in levels, maybe number of fights done, individual ranking points gained (which would show whether someone is doing anything else like donating goods or raising buildings too). So hopefully a comprehensive activity-based ranking, but I’ll take a combo from all guild activities if it actually shows something more than Gvg.and a few guilds are tied at the top
because those would all have:
1000 LP in GBG, 125% in GEx, and completed the raid
I assume that the GBG ranking won't be just based on league points but also the victory points and those differ between guilds.and a few guilds are tied at the top

The "old" ranking was not only based on GvG. It was based on Guild Prestige, GBG, GE, player rank of members, etc.
GE & player rank of members was not in the old ranking
It was more than that. As a small guild, you can see a noticeable difference immediately as members come and go. When a high ranked player leaves, the old rank dropped. When you bring on a bunch of newbies, the rank drops. Bring on a high ranked player, the guild level immediately went up. And those adjustments were not affected by GvG or GE or GBG, because they were mostly in between seasons, and with no major changes in GvG.
That was removed in 2014, it is a bit old already, I Guess

I've never seen it anywhere near 75% from GvG once Guilds were at 1,000 LP. Most I've seen is hovering slightly over 50% on the #1 spot, and then everyone else with less
Screenshots from today from two different servers:
100 x 25 = 2,500 prestige
94 x 25 = 2,350
92 x 25 = 2,300
91 x 25 = 2,275
2,500 + 18,000 = 20,500 - 38,298 = 17,798 GvG Prestige (Lvl 100 Guild) 46.5%
2,350 + 18,000 = 20,350 - 40,425 = 20,075 GvG Prestige (Lvl 94 Guild) 49.7%
2,300 + 18,000 = 20,300 - 38,338 = 18,038 GvG Prestige (Lvl 92 Guild) 47%
2,275 + 18,000 = 20,275 - 35,623 = 15,348 GvG Prestige (Lvl 91 Guild) 43%
It was not *only* based on Gvg, but it was *mostly* that, all other things being pretty equal (and not on player ranks, at least in my player time). The new format Gbg ranking is flawed, I agree, but it is nevertheless a better reflection of what guilds actually are doing. It should not be possible for a handful of people to rank higher than several dozen, if they are all equally active, in this format or the previous one. So yes, I want to see this new format ranking improved, but I very much do not want to see anything as lop sided as the Gvg ranking one has been for a couple of years already.
No you can’t, never could. It has, as far as I remember which is admittedly not all of the existence of FoE, only been guild level and Gvg, plus league points after Gbg was introduced. From memory, 1000 league points are an automatic 18k ranking points, plus 25 per level, everything else was Gvg. On my live world, a few sectors in AA, taken by one or a couple of players one evening, could propel a 1000 lp guild from late teen-early 20 levels into the top 10 so in my recent experience, the relation between the popularity of Gvg, ranking and fun is not entirely as straightforward as you are portraying it.
Should have read this before I responded.
