As an officer of a guild, I am starting to notice a few players sometimes miss joining the war because they got busy or simply forgot. While I realize the intent of the Preview phase is meant to make sure only active members join, I think the war should just take the guild as a whole. I think if there are inactive players in the guild, it should be left to the officers to decide if they need to kick that player. By removing the Preview phase, it makes one less thing the officers have to remind the guild about and it gives you as a player one less thing to remember to do. I’m curious how the rest of the community feels about the Territory War Preview phase and if you guys think this is something that should be changed.

If you're not active enough to join, fat chance you're also not active enough to participate.
I’m in a mid range guild that has a pretty high variance on GP. If everyone was auto registered and by chance three of our strongest members were disposed for whatever reason, that’s a guaranteed loss. As an officer I’d rather herd the willing and fight a fairly matched fight than not herd and potentially lose because some folks wanted to go camping. I’m not mad that my guildies aren’t living life in-game and take breaks and I don’t want to have to kick people because they’re gonna miss a couple of events. The way it’s set up is fine for life management, and it cuts down on the constant demand this game already has.
Ofc that would leave the preparation phase mandatory, but I still think that'd be better.
Silly not to, has a pretty big window.
So the guild leader gets to decide who gets rewards for participating? No. Just, no.
Why not? If I want to win but I’ve got people signing up and then contributing zero, then I can keep them from spoiling it for others. If I want to load the whole guild in in order to bump to a different rewards range and just take the loss, I can do that too. The ‘I’m available/I’m not available’ is just a good way give an idea to the leader/officer what kind of war to expect and plan accordingly, and Works well as both carrot & stick
