feels like cheating - claiming a camp or structure and the enemy loses their claim

[Malak.7108]

First of all I'm an ignoramus about Restructuring but still having some fun in it despite preferring servers.

I'm not sure if its a bug, but claiming a camp/structure for upgrading can remove  an enemy's claim on their camp/structure.

I noticed some of our claims were being removed and thought it was just one of our players knowing more than me.

Anyhow, on Saturday I wanted to claim a tower in EBG but noticed an enemy camp was on its way to T2 but it was claimed by our guild.

When I claimed our tower - their camp went back to unclaimed - seems very unfair 😞

… it’s your own guild…

this is completely normal behaviour. Any guild can only have one objective claimed per map at any time. The team your guild-members are in is irrelevant. This is specifically restricted to the exact same map you are in, and also means: 

your guild can claim up to 4 objectives in the same matchup (1 on each map), or (in normal circumstances, for example 5 matches in EU): up to 20 objectives claimed total (assuming you claim 1 objective in every matchup on every map for all 5 Tiers)

I always wondered if that was a bug though.

probably not. I would guess that it is a "remnant" of the time before we had megaservers, since in the original release of GW2, it was impossible to be in a guild of a different server. 

this was changed in the September 2014 Feature Pack (guilds became global in that patch), shortly after megaservers were introduced in the April 2014 Game Update

A minor detail: what became global for guilds was the influence and upgrades, not that it was impossible to be in a guild on a different server.  Previously, you had to build up/buy influence on each separate server to unlock bank, etc. on each separate server.
