I also agree with what was said above...why wouldn't the other guilds use their best mages from the start? I mean...it sets your ranking...why wouldn't you want to go for the gold?

Again, regardless of whatever happened in the chapter...Meredy made it worth it! She's kind of what I hoped would have happened to Wendy before we found out the time-skip was some BS frozen time bubble thing.

I guess the question is what does the rankings get you?

If you consider that this is a world where you may often end up fighting others and even possibly guild wars, it only makes sense for the best and smart ones not to give people the advantage by letting them see their power. Almost any realistic power or ability can be overcome and/or defeated afterall and the best way to keep your advantage is to not let people know your powers and methods.

The rationale for the guilds not sending their best is similar.

If the rankings do give them repute and therefore more/better jobs, do consider that you only need to finish in the top few and build your reputation by doing the jobs well or the difficult jobs.
