Discussion - Should Guild Age Be A Guild Rank Criteria?

[H2N]

There have been several requests to include the guild age as an additional ranking criteria in the Top 50 Guild Ranking list. We would like to get your input on this idea. Please keep the discussion civil.

To help with the discussion, here is what the April-30-2014 Top 50 Guild Ranking list would look like if guild age was included as an additional ranking criteria. It indicates how each guild's final ranking would change. It also includes each guild's rank in the guild age ranking category, as well as each guild's founding date in GMT. Again, please keep the discussion civil.

*edit*: See this post for middle ground proposal based on the feedback.
