what was the sense of creating new alts this week, when their conquest points that they have gain cannot be used to raise the guild's point total to goal. I have 2 new alts this week and they have about 300k in conquest points by their names are greyed out in the guild member list and their conquest point amount says pending.

This change is over 2 months old.

Conquests

• Upon joining a guild, new guild members no longer earn Guild Conquest Points, Guild XP, Invasion Rewards, and Conqueror Achievements until the next Conquest reset.
  
  • Example: If a player joins a guild on Friday, they will not be able to contribute to the Guild points and XP until the next Conquest Event (the following Tuesday at 12:00PM UTC).

• Newly-created Guilds will not be able to accrue any Conquest points or Guild XP until the next Conquest Event.

• Due to these changes to Guild Conquests Commendation Rewards from Invasion will be tallied at the end of the active Conquest, and rewarded when the next Conquest event starts.

 

In addition, there is information in the game about it.
