#Why are nodes designed to let higher skilled guilds roam around each day punishing lower guilds?

This is the only game i've ever played where as soon as you try out content you're immediatly faced against grandmaster type opponents. Its like if you wanted to try out boxing for the first time and your first opponent is mike tyson. Who in their right mind would want to continue boxing? Siege guilds being able to roam from t1, to t2, to t3, rinse repeat constantly gatekeeping lower guilds out of nodewar is astonishing to me. Why is the system set up this way to gatekeep lower guilds out of nodewars entirely by forcing them to fight seige guilds no matter which tier node they want to fight at?

There used to be a system to prevent higher guilds from playing on T1s once they own a higher node, but that was like 2 or 3 reworks ago

As for why the guilds do it? Multiple reasons. Uncapped often has few enemies, and guilds look for more content. Additionally, uncapped nodes also always requires far higher attendance numbers. And not all guilds can pull the required numbers each time, so they are forced to place on capped in order to still be able to take part in nodewars.
