Same..Wish to know the math behind it.

as far as i know, the more you win YOUR gnw, the more chances u get to be in top 8, below that are the 2nd places, and so on. Honestly im confused on why is only 8 and not the 16, it *s like that, cuz mostly only the winners can participate as far as i see.

Do you mean these points? (GNW points)

do those even matter outside of normal gnw? i dont think it does, the only thing that matters is ur power and how many times you win your gnw to be able to achieve top 8, but should it be top 8 actually?

Let me rephrase my question.... is Cross GNW working as intended?

of course everyone knows it ;)

But question is how these points, place in normal gnw and group power make math in getting into xgnw?

IMHO power is most intelectually unadvanced criteria cause then some groups will keep inactive players only for power. And thats kinda not fair for weaker groups with more active players and then you need to include activity rate and so on.....

The points don't mean anything, groups get picked into X server GNW by their rankings in final and their group power after the rankings.

For example say there is 7 servers in your X server bracket. Seven groups that won GNW on their own servers will go and for last slot it will pick 2nd place group with highest power of out all the 2nd place groups in those 7 servers.

Another example say there is 9 servers in your bracket, 8 1st place groups with most power will go, lowest power one won't.

TLDR; if you not strongest group on your server that is winning most/all wars you will probably never or very rarely go to X server gnw.
