Unfortunately that ranking is unable to show anything actually relevant about SGs. The prestige bar to having a well-equipped base is so low that displaying prestige totals shows nothing but an SG's ability to rake in prestige. Which in itself means little to nothing.

Just because an SG has a lot of prestige does not automatically mean they are a good SG.
If an SG forces all their new members to farm for prestige or be kicked out of the group, and forces them to spend all their excess currency buying prestige, they could easily claim the #1 spot on a given server. I don't know about you, but I would not want to be a member of an SG that did that.
The fact that they have the #1 spot does nothing to inform you what kind of players they are. Extremely strict and borderline abusive SGs who insist their members earn X amount of prestige per week or be kicked tend to be very high on the list.

All I needed to know about SGs I learned from the Crazy 88s, the #1 SG of Virtue.

Which shows you what being #1 means.

This is a great point. However, I think it's very important to note that this is not a rule (although I think Claws' statement is correct in more cases than not, sadly), and that there are quite a few great SGs out there that also just happen to have a lot of Prestige accumulated. Some are older SGs that have amassed the Prestige over many years of activity, and others are simply very active, with dedicated members who want to play in SG mode to help out.|

I just don't want anyone to automatically equate high Prestige totals with being a farming operation (although, like I said, there are quite a few of those out there, unfortunately).
(Not calling you out or anything, Claws, I just didn't see this point addressed in your post.

My SG has like 6 or so people in it and for a while we were in the top 10 SGs on Virtue. We just played in SG mode.

Why Blasters? Empathy Sucks.

What the hell? Let's buff defenders.
