Motoko Kai A gold trim is awarded to the guild that wins a Monthly Automated Tournament (mAT). After the swiss pairing, 16 guilds enter the single elimination playoffs, and the winner of the Finals wins the tournament. In addition to a gold trim, the victorious guild's participating members receive 4,500 reward points each.
In the past, seasons would end with a ladder lock and a playoff; regional winners would go on to the world championships like GWWC, GWFC and the Celestial Tournament. Winners of those world championships (The Last Pride, War Machine, and Team Everfrost, respectively) received gold trims. When the championships proved too costly for ArenaNet to continue hosting, they introduced the Automated Tournament system and replaced real-world prizes (such as high-end video cards) with reward points.
The following is a list of guilds which have a gold trim:

Notes[edit]
- Guilds noted with a red square to the left of their name have been sold or are no longer in an original player's possession.
- After a guild is awarded a gold trim, there are several things that can be done with that guild:
- The guild may continue to play.
- The guild may retire from PvP and keep the gold trim for aesthetic purposes.
- The guild may disband.
- The guild may be stored on an alternate account of a core player to preserve the gold trim.
- The guild may invite/have a large number of "leechers" join the guild.
- The guild leader may become inactive after which another player is automatically promoted to the position of leader.
- The guild may be sold.
Trivia[edit]
- Rebel Rising's gold trim was temporarily removed in February 2009 due to rule violations in the previous Monthly Automated Tournament.
- We Are Six Inches Enchanted used third party hacks to modify their attributes during the June 2014 mAT, thereby gaining an unfair advantage over their opponents by abusing the Flux effect (Jack of All Trades). ArenaNet removed their gold trim on 26 June 2014 as a result of their investigation (source).
- Kaputtmacher Der Feinde [kput] is the first gold trim guild to be confirmed deleted.
